The game has now sold over 500K copies, still strong on its way to reach 1M.
I've been playing it the last few days, and I'm loving it, it has a lot of content and so many secrets everywhere, the game design and attention to detail is superb.
It it honestly so good. It starts really hard but it offers a lot of items that make the game more managable aside from the level ups, and in a few hours you are likely to be having a way easier time being more in control of things.
It has many inspirations like Metroidvania and Soulslike, but by far the biggest one is Link's Awakening (and a level up system like Zelda II), Link's Awakening DX is my favorite Zelda game and one of my favorite 2D games of all time.
I haven't finished it yet but now I can easily recommend it myself as well, it is another gem of a game like Shovel Knight also is. I really think it deserves to be enjoyed by many of you.
Edit: just beat it and got 100% clear!
