I liked this game, atleast in terms of graphics and basic idea but the execution is not something I am a fan of.
I find myself running not able to understand what to do, a minimap of place when altar can possibily be will be a fun thing. No more me mindlessly running around.
Hell I don't even use the shield any more it's quite simple to dodge and run. I was able to quite easily escape with just this, and when I had enemies on my face just shield up wait and run.
Was fun for first couple of minutes and then became a shore not able to find anything new, just those idiotic monsters. Your game is more about exploration so you should have added more things to explore. Seems boring right now.
