The art direction is what it is, it's not my thing, but it's fine. The gameplay is really fun though, I remember being really impressed by the overall game-feel when this first came out. Never got around to finishing it, but sometimes this goes on sale for like $1, so you might as well give it a go.

It's probably not as good as I think it is, but I've played this game so many times. It was all the rage when I was in elementary school, and I love it so much. I can still hear the battle music in my head, and the pixel art was really incredible. I loved the idea of using your spells outside of battle to do environmental puzzle stuff, and I loved the djinni summon/passive/spell rotation system. It's very, very special. Just maybe not quite as special if you're coming to it for the first time now.

Really fun fighting game! Stupid (in a good way) story! I'm not a pro fighting game player, I just like the kombo systems and of course fatalities are always nice. Looks great, sounds great. The weird exploration treasure chest mode is a nice break from nonstop fighting, the tower stuff is fine. Overall really solid. One of the best fighters I've played in years.

Ambitious and interesting. I'm a sucker for unconventional narratives. The acting is generally good with some bad bits here and there. Still need to finish it, but I have a text file on my desktop where I was just taking notes and trying to piece things together. Games that make you do that are always a treat.

I killed the throne once and immediately died, but it was in early access so I was using a character that I'm too bad at the game to unlock, so that's where my journey ends. I really like this game though, and I loved following its development in early access. It felt like the gold standard for usage of the early access platform.
