FAN ART

Story is fun and interesting.

Enemies all have own look and own attacks to to learn to avoid.

Art style is nice and detailed.

Controls are easy to learn and easy to pick up.

Characters that you meet on your adventure all have own look and personality to them.

Combat is fast paced and fun.

Weapons are nice as all have own look and own uses and feel.

Easy to die as cant take many hits in combat and the platforming feels slidey and easy to fall of when jumping.

Not alot of reason to replay the story after you finish the game.
