Damsel Reviews
I certainly do not recommend Damsel to arcade fans because these people follow this genre and the weaknesses of the game are easily reflected in their experience. Those who do not experience arcade titles should also know that there are better experiences to enter this genre and Damsel can easily make you pessimistic about this category of games. At its core, Damsel clearly has good basic mechanics, but unfortunately in all directions it is one step away from "getting better". It is clear that the development team intended to develop a challenging game, but they do not do it in meaningful way. My final suggestion is to choose better titles if you want to get into the arcade style.

Damsel misses the mark in many ways, but really isn't all that bad. It's more of a glaring missed opportunity than anything else.
Damsel's gameplay never comes together, and it's too repetitive to be particularly fun.
Damsel gets a middling recommendation. If you’re looking for something you can file under “slightly difficult to get used to, eternity to master” then this would be in that rather specific category. As I said at the start, this won’t look out of place on the Switch or Steam library, as those two are bread and butter for this kind of game. Whereas on the supposed powerhouse that is the Xbox, it just seems like a waste of potential. Granted, this is only an indie title, so there isn’t going to be mass dollar behind it. It’s just that the end result on the Microsoft flagship is a bit of a damp squib.
