“Nice artwork, a fun story, a little bit addicting, and a few challenging boss fights. There's also an "extra hard mode" after you complete the main storyline.”
— a player, Steam review · 15 hrs played“I like this game. Combat may feel a bit overwhelming (IM TALKING TO THE PEOPLE WHO CALL IT 'THAT') at the start but you will get used to it (UNLIKE OTHERS). The Story is Amazing, the Soundtrack gets stuck in yer head much. If its on Sale consider getting this!”
