This is a game which is artistically beautiful but mechanically flawed. I was constantly in awe at the stunning pixel art and lovely soundtrack, but the actual moment to moment gameplay felt awkward in comparison to the delicately crafted visuals. I can't quite put my finger on what it was, but something about the way the game handles side characters as "weapons" feels somewhat bad. It wasn't terrible by any means, but the gameplay doesn't do the rest of the package justice.
