Heartwarming and hilarious. Great story :)
This was honestly a very charming game! While I had some difficulties getting used to the game's unique gimmick (your main method of attack is also your charges for platforming challenges), I did get used to it. The game offers a very intriguing world and story in a nice little chunk of time, and the humor pretty much matches mine. It still seems like I have more to do, which I might consider in the future, but the story alone gave me a satisfying experience. If this wasn't on sale, I'd have bought it for double the base price, frankly. While I see that the dev has pivoted to different, (seemingly) more one-off arcade like experiences, I do hope they consider following up on this game in the future.
Definitely not a AAA title, but it's a fun, quick experience with decent platforming sections. Most interesting is its combat, with offense and defense tied to the same resource. That helps to make encounters decently challenging despite the bosses not being particularly complex.
A lovely platformer with a great story.
Way better then the price suggests. Fun platforming gameplay, fun characters, great classic FF style music and am entertaining story that does kind of take itself a bit top serious for my taste. But all in all I had a great time with this game and it might even be a, dare I say?, Hidden Gem?
