This was on a good sale so I grabbed it on a whim. It turns out this is a great little gem of a game! The combat is harder than I thought, with timing/parry/dodge mechanics. The enemies had some good variation as well. But the fighting isn't the only charm in this game. The narrator does a fantastic job, the art style is unique, the background music always fits, and the exploration feels like a Redwall adventure. Grain of salt: The game is a bit linear, usually with a single task at a time to complete before the story will move on. The gear and loot steadily get better and leave little improvization to the player. (This actually made the progression more straightforward and allowed me to enjoy the other facets of this great game.)
I've played a ton of metroidvania games while we wait for Silksong. This one is unique in awesome ways. The Mexican style and music is beautiful!! The combat is combo-smashing fun! There are some really great (and fair) puzzles in here too. If you pay attention to the map, you can find all the power-ups by exploring. Fair warning, to get 100% you have to complete some very difficult challenges. But it's worth it!
