This game practically masters the "Fable" aesthetic; the story is engaging and is written with a verse-based whimsy that is infused with a depth unheard of in games of this tone. The sole issue hampering this game is the Final-Fantasy-style combat; while the strategy involved in timing hits is somewhat engaging, the sheer, samey repetitiveness of it, in addition to the lack of useful info on enemy stats, make the idea of playing on anything other than Casual untenable.
