RUNES Magica

The good: The mechanics are very interesting and fun to play around Graphics are fun pixel graphics Musik is subtle but a bit repetitive The bad: Translation to English is the worst Controls on preset are funky but easily changeable Control of the character is not as consistent as it should be for a platformer.

I can see what they were going for, but enemies sometimes ignore being hit, enemy hitboxes are sometimes too big, and in general it feels more martial arts magic than what I tend to think of as magic (course the side-scrolling beat-em-up will appeal to some)...

Pro: Fun little game Not overy complicated Con: The game itself is interesting but the lack of a checkpoint system when you finish an area is kind of annoying. Even when you quit or go to the main menu the progress resets to the first area I don't have the time to redo 30 min of a game to get back to where I died in another area. if it had that area checkpoint I would've given it a 5 with all it's other flaws.
