i enjoyed it.

i didn't adored or hated it, it had its quirks and good moments, this is an action rpg in the most barebones form possible, yeah it has a level system but the cap is level 17 and even hitting the cap, the infinite enemy spawn will make sure your overpowered ass is put back in your place, the game at times throws you a ball and expects you to find it by making you go around searching for something you have no idea what it is, fortunally the map is never too open that you'll spend too long looking for it, but the battle levels are mazes, they are the most problematic.

still, the animation, the writing, it all screams a person passion project, and it probably was for the pc-88 as this is a remake of the second game.
i wish the pc-88 games were translated because they look like such my jam, unfiltered artistic whim, in the original you could use drugs to boost yourself for a short time, yeah drugs, LSD, weed, canabis, all sort of weirdies, all that's left of that drug system is some different names for this remake and saddler holding what resembles a cigarrete in his mouth despite the original version clearly having him preparing and smoking a joint
still, despite the shortcomings, i still enjoyed my time with it, its hard for games to try out different world settings and this one hit right up my alley with its culture and setting (even better than alladin, screw that twink).
the Music is a BOP, it hits that weirdcore with sone funky tunes to go along and that arabic desert feeling, but nothing like the usual you expect from desert soundtrack, you gotta hear to understand.

side note : play the hacked un-working designs version, i heard awful things about the balance, another side note, grind and grind, it won't take long till you hit peak level and trust me, you'll need it
