Thanks for the criticism, but the game is unapologetically slow, and it's already pretty fast if compared to the games that inspired it (King's Field series).
Although you might've just been stuck with a low Agi character and slow, fragile weapons.
But everything seems in check with what the game is going for, so it might just not be your cup of tea. I appreciate the time you've put into testing and reviewing it though, so thanks!
