The shape is smart: just overhead and text, lots of assisting images. I can't remember after playing what was rendered or part of my imagination - genius!
But when a game has lots of reading, it gets me itchy. Why aren't I reading a book with a better story? The premise of the main quest is surprisingly interesting, but the chatty characters give too little with too much text; not dense enough to escape the itch. I haven't gone back to it.
