FAN ART

Enemies all have own look and all have own attacks to learn when to attack and are weak to certain abilities.

Art style is pretty and detailed very anime cell shaded look.

Characters that you meet on your adventure all have own look and own personality to them loved the sarcastic bird very funny.

Difficulty options are nice as can pick own difficulty to suit own style.

Stats are easy to understand and easy to know what they do.

Training is fun and has weird minigames that can attempt to do yourself where you can gain extra bonuses or can just auto do them where you 100% them but get no bonuses.

Story is weird and confusing to follow all I know she loves pie which is different.

Clunky movement of character in the world and in menus on a controller.

Combat felt abit basic and not very exciting.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall enemies all have own look and all have own attacks to learn to defend against and has a cool art style that is pretty and detailed and the characters you meet on the adventure all have own look and own personality with nice difficulty options to suit own style and easy to understand stats and fun training minigames. However for £32.99, there is a alot of dialogue and story is weird and hard to follow alot of mentions to wanting pi made me hungry also has clunky movement of the character and menus on a controller and the combat felt abit basic and not exciting.
