I just can't help the feeling that this game would've been better if it didn't get as self-important and dramatic as it does. It's got High highs and low lows. The "undertale" feel its clearly going for is best shown in its wacky cast of characters and silly dialogue. The battles and songs are quite good. I don't personally like the arm mechanic as much, but its still fun to play. A lot of battles have really fun visuals and effects that gives it a chaotic feel in the best way.

That all being said... The story is... not so good. I really wanted to like it, but it seems confused on what it wants to say or show. The plot holds itself up as very self important in a way it really doesn't earn. Also, the lost soul design for me is just too derivative of Gaster and I'm really sad the environments were so bland even if that was "the point".

If you like rhythm games this is worth checking out, but otherwise it might be worth skipping. It's a good game, but it just gets so wrapped up in itself.
