FAN ART
Story is interesting and fun.
Enemies that you meet are cool in design and all have own look and all have own attacks to learn how to defeat them.
Heroes that you can play as have own look and all have own attacks and own feel to them and can swap between them for each new run.
Bosses all have own look, and all have own attack phases to learn in order to beat them and all fight are fun to fight.
Characters that you meet in your adventures all have own look and all have own personality to them and even offer own services such as upgrade your stats and even change the look and color off your characters outfit.
Tons of upgrades for all your spells and so many different elements and more to make your own playstyle.
Spells are cool as alot of variety to them as can have everything from poison to fire and so much more and can combine them such as for me I like being able poison them and then uses ice to freeze them in space or electric to stun them doing more damage and all spells have own uses and can be upgraded and own feel to them and you pick and choose to suit your style.
Controls are easy to pick up and play and are very responsive which is nice.
Fast paced and fun frantic combat is fun.
Tons to unlock and alot of content for £19.99, as alot of possible builds and more and nice responsive controls and more.
Can be annoying as easy to die as can easily get mobbed in the corners by enemies.
