The game is pretty lackluster and generic at the start, and I almost quit playing 2 hours in, but I'm glad I didn't. I stuck with it, and ended up enjoying it a fair bit. It's not amazing or anything, but its worth a single playthrough.

Okay here's why my rating went from a 2 to a 3.5:
- Amazing boss fights. This game is basically a cute Dark Souls.
- Weighty combat. Although it starts out a little slow with just the staff, I felt really powerful by the end with all the abilities.

The animations are obviously good too.

However,
- Movement can be clunky
- No incentive to do anything extra
- Story is mediocre
- Nothing new here, its a generic action game

But again, boss fights make up for the faults.
