A fun platformer/brawler. The game constantly introduced new mechanics such as elemental weaponry and ridable steeds, which helped make every world diverse. Certain platforming gauntlets and puzzles were quite fun to solve, and the combat was often enjoyable. It was quite enjoyable to swap between the different weapon types, whether to take advantage of an enemy's weakness or simply to experiment.

I did feel as though the super form, while fun and powerful, was a bit too simple. It's very easy to just spam the attack button until the meter runs out without giving it much thought. While certain upgrades can be purchased to alter the super form, more options unlocked by default would have helped. The story also felt a bit undercooked. The rival's character arc felt rushed, but at least she talked, as opposed to the main bosses. I enjoyed seeing the dog grow stronger and stronger as the game went on, but a final payoff was absent.
