Gameplay that is as creative as it is fun, there's no other game like this out there. The way they manage to tie the gameplay into the story here is also great, as you'll be thinking about your wins and losses in order to level the character who you want to free, which then removes them from your roster, as well as thinking about which opposing team you want to elevate for the final showdown. Supergiant really managed to master the art of letting failure become not a hinderance, but an asset to their story with this game. Every character has something to love about them here and it really makes you invested in thinking about who to free, or who would even want to return if given the chance. Darren Korb of course knocks it out of the park with a banger soundtrack once again, with a nice creative treat waiting for you with one of the songs, if you've played you know which one. I only subtract half a star because well...this game is about overthrowing a tyrannical monarch but...well it's a bourgeois revolution. You're essentially doing the fantasy equivalent of the American revolution here. You overthrow the monarch only to establish a Liberal republic in which the merchant class still gets to amass vast riches. It's a near perfect game I just wish the politics were better.
