This game was such a delight to play. I admit that when I first picked it up, I wasn't expecting much from it, but was quite pleased with it after playing. It's a basic top-down hack-and-slash with some RPG elements. The gameplay is fast, fluid and immensely satisfying; taking down Dragons does feel pretty epic. What really made this game stand out is the care and love a small design team put into it. The artwork is adorable, no getting around that. The world map, the characters, the enemies, all of it looks and feels like a story-book world. The couple of musical tracks that comprise the soundtrack are good, never tiresome; a jaunty, adventurous theme on the world map, a haunting and eerie tune in the dungeons. Most notably, I enjoyed the writing. The cat puns abound, but more importantly, the main questline is really good, and with the huge number of side-quests available many of them are well written, entertaining, and quite interesting, which really helps to distract from the repetitve nature of the gameplay. Overall, this game makes for a fun, enjoyable, roughly 10 hour long adventure. Nothing too serious, just some good, wholesome, kind of 'old-school' fun. If it seems like something you might like, grab it up when it's on sale; you're likely to not be disappointed.
