You walk into the temple of the spirits. You don't know who you are, you don't know why you're here or how did you arrive, all you know is you must kill. You also know that no one is paying you to kill, in fact you have to pay for your own weapons and accomodations, because apparently the all-mighty protector-spirits of the land are bankrupt.
You smash buttons a lot, pick up a few hints of a plot with the bosses two-line dialogues, something about a blight that might be bad or not since you don't really know what it does or what it is except that's probably evil because of black and red flashes of light and comments on capitalized letters.
At some point, bored due killing the same mobs over and over, I noticed that the tornado power from the stag god seemed marginally better than the rest, giving you invulnerability frames on top of damage, so I started spamming it and put Chubby checker's Twister song on a loop.
I still have the song ringing on my head from that moment...
Spiritfall has good graphics and decent albeit a bit overly simplistic gameplay that gets repetitive since you end up fighting the same enemies over and over again, not due to difficulty but because you need to win five times to reach the ending, which IMO is a bit too much since nothing changes in-between. The relics are underwhelming too, but the thematic-elemental blessings with flashing effects are fun to watch.
