As someone who enjoys metroidvanias and would rank them at the top of my list of favourite game styles, Doomblade attempts too much and succeeds at little. The concepts are great, the artwork is great, and the core mechanics are workable, but demonstrate deep flaws when put to the test. Overall movement is fine, though can be clunky when precision is required. Where the game can become frustrating is during situations where randomness takes over. On one hand, this can be fun, on the other it will border impossible tasks since the game randomizes enemy location during certain battles. Luck becomes too great of a factor and takes away any enjoyment it may have offered. Will you enjoy it? Parts will entertain you. But, once you start familiarizing yourself with the fast travel (which is horrible) and the lack of tightness in the controls, you'll be left grinding for the satisfaction of saying you've completed it, though you'll rather forget you ever played it in the first place.
