Bought it for 5.00,- so I shouldnt complain, right? Two stars for engaging story and atmosphere. Controls are totally not tight (compared to Hades for example). Endless walkways where nothing happens. Not sure if the game is difficult or the controls are just weird. One of the most annoying bossfights... you will be happy when its over! (I turned diff to easy just to get it over with)... but hey...guess what...same boss comes back later with same annoying patterns. Turned to easy right from the beginning. Shame really, but no... just no...
Just played a few hours so I will give some first impressions! I am already very attached to my units and every mistake (read: death) will make me reload! The story is engaging and really cool. Characters are well written. I definitely want to see where this goes... UI is super intuitve and you will find all the infos you need at once. Maps are beautiful and give you LOTS of possibilities to win the battle. Playing on Normal difficulity and the AI seems to do a pretty good job (read: lots of deaths = lots of reloads = lots of new tactics to 'solve the riddle') Music is wonderful and fitting for the setting! If you are on the fence about this, consider this: it is a work of love and it is done very well. I can feel that the developers loved the original and truly care about this game! Totally worth your support!
Exactly what I expected. Just like the good old days! If you "die" its not because of RNG, bad builds or crazy difficulty spikes, its just me. Been playing for more then 2h now and making good progress. (Quarble said, he had to save my live 22 times already!) Characters and story are really funny and engaging! Ask for storys in the shop... Also: Dat soundtrack!!! If you want a comparison to any other game, i would say "Shovel Knight". So if you had fun with Shovel Knight, get this one, too. Here is the best pro tip i got from Quarble i got so far: "Avoid the spikes." Thought i would share that, for it sounds important!
