Movement is incredibly slow. Healing is scarce. Traps you can't outrun are constantly in the way. You need to loot goblin all the money in the level if you want to be able to afford the ability to disarm traps. Enemies often ignore the whip, especially charging armless guys.

Janky and frustrating to try to gain any progress.
This was especially egregious for me since I went in expecting something similar to immortal redneck just with swordplay instead of guns.
