Ace art team - beautiful pixel art with silky smooth animation with plenty of flare that makes scenes come alive. Music is also really good, I liked the victory fanfare it's always fun to finish a fight and let it hit. Good stuff.
Story is basic and the writing is fairly annoying - the characters are using fake computing and hacking lingo as part of daily speech to the point that the entire game reads like a parody.
On the same note every single basic game mechanic term gets a cyberpunk skin, it only makes basic functions confusing.
Combat is very dull and why I dropped it despite being short. This is the bread and butter of RPGs but there is nothing there to hold onto.

@cowboyjosh I haven't finished it so I can't tell for sure.
There are a lot of things the game just brushes over - all combat seems like it takes place in cyberspace: There's a moving grid aesthetics, the protagonist fights using a deck she loads with programs that function like magic and the basic attack is called hack.
They never really explain this as aside from combat the game seems to take place in physical space. Maybe there's a matrix twist at the end but I kinda doubt it I think it's just aesthetics.
