Ngl this game is carried heavily by its aesthetics and soundtrack for me. The characters and story are enjoyable, but they are fairly simple.
Combat is similarly enjoyable-but-too-simple. Though the final boss of the game is great and I wish the game was more like that the entire run through.
The game looks great, I love the pixel art and animations in this game. Though there are a few rooms where the perspective is fucky due to changes in elevation being hard to tell apart.
I also love the soundtrack, though I wish the final boss had a more banging track. It's a very lowkey ambient type of thing.
Nonetheless, short and sweet RPG. I enjoyed my time with it. The credits are the most soulful credit sequence I've seen since Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, as it blatantly references classic PS1-era cracktros.
My biggest gripes are actually two bugs I encountered.
One is that you can softlock yourself in combat by pressing the start button in the Install screen.
The second is that the final boss' boss rush phase is completely skipped if you kill the boss via poison damage, which I did because its insane health meant poison was extremely effective. The boss rush looks lame tho!
