This was my first Kid Icarus game and I immediately fell in love with Pit!
He's basically an even more childish KH Sora. Adorable.

The (frequent) dubbed dialogues are super amusing and cute. Pit is iconic. He calls his dark version Pittoo (Pit two).
Palutena is the sweetest, Viridi is sassy, Pandora sounds like an old lady trying to be cute. Hades is a sassy dandy man.

The Tempura Wizard transforms Pit into TEMPURA and can eat him. The Eggplant Wizard into... yes, an eggplant.

The combat system is certainly unique: you can fight while moving in flight or on land with a wide variety of claws, staffs, clubs, orbitars, blades, bows, palms, cannons or arms. They each have different stats and range, so it's fun to find what works best on which enemy and for your own playing style.
I usually go for the Pandora Claws.

It's very HARD!! I simply cannot pass the higher difficulties, because tons of enemies arrive from all directions. It's a bit frustrating, but still pretty fun.
Also, sometimes I get distracted listening to the dialogues and get hit by enemies.
