this game is a blooming chore to play, save your time and stay away from it.

it felt like i was playing a browser flash game.

poor gameplay mechanics resulting in getting scorned for exploration.
- when u die everything youve done before your last save gets erased so thats what i mean by getting scorned for wanting to explore, with the poor movement mechanics and the terrible map layout you will most likely die to gravity resulting in lots of wasted time.
- terrible map design,
- constant screen loading on a side scroller game, the game only loads a few screens of an area at a time before character moves to the edge of screen then gets loaded into another few screens at a time, this isent much of an issue when your outside of the town though, also whenever you go through a door its a 5 sec load time even if its just for a small room, so u go into a small room its a 5 sec load time just to have a glance then go back out the door for another 5 sec load time, THIS ADDS UP and was a major pain in the arse when playing.
- same terrible sound affects you will hear ALL throught out the game.
- OST pops in at random times and is loud as hell, i had to turn the ingame music volume down to 3
- combat is a case of light attacks only, unless your hitting someone from behind you can use your heavy attack, the reason is when u charge your heavy attack theres about 2 to 3 seconds after the attack when your just imobile.
- really bad npc interactions.

The game is trying to be a 2d version of Bloodborne but it fails miserable

I completed the game because im an idiot and didnt want the crappy thing to get the better of me.

I really want to like Vigil and I would likely give it a rating of mixed. I am a big fan of soulslike / metroidvania so this game should be right up my alley. There is just something simple off about this game that doesnt kick in and despite pushing through I couldnt bring myself to play more.
