Dash, slash, crash, and bash. There are things you can do in Lysfanga the Time Shift Warrior that don’t finish in -ash, but I’m not really interested in them. The hack and slash brawler is one of those perfect smaller games, it’s simple to play, feels great in motion, and has one core concept that marks it out as something special, and what could be better?
Lysfanga’s fun twist? When you enter more arenas it’ll feel like you’re playing Hades or The Binding of Isaac, charging around trying to kill enemies and survive. But if you run out of time, die or hit the rewind button on the controller, you’ll spool back to the start of the fight and set off again, joined this time by a ghostly version of yourself that’s taking the actions you just took.
