I should love this game, but it is decidedly middling in every aspect. The pixel art is well-done, but there is random stuttering and awkward transitions throughout. The skill trees include compelling inter-character buffs, but overall progress is very slow and most of the unlockable skills are boring percentage-point increases. Combat ranges from awkward to downright frustrating, and deaths often felt unavoidable. Three of the first four unlockable characters are cumbersome to control, and the one ranged character requires a pretty boring kiting playstyle. The writing is atrocious, and as a result the voice acting feels stilted. There's a little bit of excitement to be had in each of these areas, but overall it was a chore to play.
