This is such a quality game. Took me while to comeback to this game to finish it now for good. Such an amazing game with good art, combat was alright. cool story. Boss fight were also nice. My 2 main complain personally is not having any kind of navigation system like map and direction cause i dont like to get lost a lot. Another one is the combat difficulty option. surei have played harder game than this but its still hard enough to make you frustrate. There are days i dont wanna play hard games so the option would been great. 4/5
[h1] A cute charming piece of art about death[/h1] I really love this game, from start to finish. The combat, the boss fights and even the story are engaging and everything is backed up by amazing soundtrack. I'm also surprised that despite the comedic tone of some dialogues, which I didn't expect in this game, it manage to shift come back into seriousness greatly, I even shed some tears during specific moments [spoiler](Like the Grey crow: his entrance and the music kicking in was just...) [/spoiler] And I really enjoyed the endgame, which adds a new ending with a bit of extra chores to do and more. [spoiler](AND AN EXTRA AVARICE ROUND WHICH I REALLY LOVE!!!)[/spoiler] I believe it's worth doing The only thing that I think this game does wrong is the sewer grates mechanic, it is the only thing that isn't explained/shown properly I greatly recommend this game, it's really the [i]beak[/i] for me ^w^
Cute, whimsical souls-like game. [h3] Difficulty [/h3] Some boss fights are actually quite difficult if you're not used to playing souls-like games. I found the game to be difficult to the point of being frustrating on controller until I switched to playing with [b]keyboard and mouse[/b]. It's way easier to traverse the isometric environment with precision with a keyboard and mouse than with a controller. [h3] Confusing progression, navigation [/h3] What I do dislike about this game but have gotten used to, is the lack of a map. If you take a break from playing, you will most certainly not know where to go next when you pick the game up again. The progression between areas is confusing to the point where many people, including myself, have to look up gameplay videos to see where they're supposed to go next. I lost 2 hours of my life just navigating back and forth, trying to figure out where to go, before I finally gave up and just looked it up online. This game is [i]almost[/i] perfect. Definitely going in my favorite game list, just wish there was a map or some sort of indicator on where to go next besides talking to NPC's.
