Played the PSP version back in 2020 and had a great time with it. The story is simple but enjoyable with good payoff, the combat is very well tuned for the encounters, and the levels are fun and challenging. This review of the game is for the normal difficulty. This time around, I played on hard and earned the platinum trophy and it had a negative impact on my enjoyment of the game. Encounters don't feel properly balanced and most of them left me with little health and magic. The game can also be cruel with some levels where you have several encounters in a row with minotaurs, cyclopes, and medusas with no healing or checkpoints in between. This might just be a skill issue on my part but I never remember having issues close to this on normal. I'd definitely recommend this game as long as you don't play on hard though, because the core game is quite fun.
