Highly satisfying gameplay
So, narrative-wise, it's kind of neat. The story feels borderline irrelevant to the gameplay, as the various things talked about through the story (so far) do not seem to explain any of their capabilities. I am currently in the phase of pursuing Project Demeter, no spoilers to follow, and am very much enjoying the game so far. It has three difficulty settings, the first of which is Normal, and feels kind of easy, at least for what I expected. I still got my booty folded into an origami bird by one of the bosses a couple of times. Gameplay is thus. It's a side scrolling action platformer, in which you have several classes of melee weapons, and ranged weapons. Melee weapons behave with combos, and you can jump and attack as well. Ranged weapons have ammo that replenishes when you defeat enemies with non-ranged attacks, and have a satisfying variety. Shotgun's my favorite though. It's a good panic button. You also have special ability slots. Currently I am using the healing ability for when I get careless, and the Nova ability, which is a powerful screen-wide area-of-effect attack. Good damage, makes things dead good, weakens everything it doesn't kill. These abilities, unlike many other games, recharge *when you hit enemies*, rather than a cooldown, or room-based recharge like Binding of Issac. This makes one particular melee weapon, the Falchion, quite useful for ability builds, as its passive is to make you recharge those abilities faster. All of these abilities can be upgraded. In addition to this. weapons seem to be the roguelike aspect of the game. They have stats that vary, different abilities, and different tiers of rarity, from common to Legendary, from what I have seen. These weapons all have different levels of upgradability, and the undesirable ones can be salvaged into the coins needed for the upgrades. Combat feels good. Weapons are satisfying. Conclusion: Buy this game. I may update this review after beating the game if my opinions change.
