An absolutely gorgeous game with great art direction and fun, rewarding combat.

One thing anyone should know going into this game is that there is a heavy emphasis on boss battles. I believe there are 15 different boss battles in this game, and depending on the difficulty you're playing, it's possible to hit a roadblock pretty early on as the game forces you to learn the combat system before you have a lot of your more powerful moves.

The combat isn't particularly difficult, though, and if you can handle the Kingdom Hearts games on Proud or Critical, you can handle Kena on its hardest difficulty. Most bosses only have 2-4 moves you need to watch for, and once you figure them out the combat becomes really rewarding.

This is also one of the few games in recent memory where I enjoyed my second playthrough (on the hardest difficulty level) more than my first playthrough (which was on normal).

I'd definitely recommend this game, and I can't wait to see what this developer comes up with for their second game!
