FAN ART

Story is fun and interesting.

Controls are easy to learn and pick up.

Enemies are cool as all have own look and own attacks to learn.

Art style is nice and detailed.

Perks to make own build are nice and can suit own style.

Movement is different as turn based as enemies move when you move and you slide rather than direct control.

Levels are nice and detailed.

Combat can be awkward as easy get surrounded as no direct control of characters such move couple steps you sorta slide meaning get surrounded easy.

Die easy as not take many hits.

No reason replay levels unless you trying get a better score.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall story is fun, controls easy learn, enemies own look and attacks to learn, nice art style, levels detailed, perks cool make own build, movement is different as slide rather than direct control. However for £13.99, die easy as not take many hits, no reason to replay levels unless trying to get better score and combat can be awkward as easy get surrounded and die.
