As a brawler - a little cool, a little weird, a little boring. The art and music are really lush and quite good, although both repetitve and odd in their own ways. The character designs are somewhat original - our mostly-medieval warrior heroes are battling some kind of clockwork alien race? - but the designs (especially the bosses) are overused and get stale. Combat is boring as hell - one-button, single-attack, no combo stuff. Big yawn. And the two characters aren't even any different moves-wise, even though one is roughly two times larger than the other (at first you think it's the standard beat-'em-up formulation of Normal Guy and Big Guy, but then the Big Guy is roughly the same size as all the enemies, so it makes it seem like the normal guy is just some kind of silly little hobbit).

Worth a look for the vibrant pixel art and the soundtrack, but doesn't really do anything too interesting to back it up.
