The style is fun, very Zelda-like, which I love. But that's it.. Mechanics are sloppy: -Controls are *atrocious*; can't remap controller buttons (use JoyToKey, instead) -Lots of skipping, though I imagine they'll fix that -You have to wait for the dropped objects to "spawn", I guess, so you often run off without collecting them. OBJECT MAGNETS! STOP MAKING US *TOUCH* EVERYTHING TO COLLECT! Items fade pretty quick while a swarm of creatures attack you, wasting effort -You can't effectively attack creatures above you because of the angle and short swing range -Creatures level with you, so keeping your level from past incarnations is rendered useless althogh you can wear more "stickers" which are very small power ups -You lose *everything* upon death so you're fighting evolved creatures with no gear -Everything is super expensive but you mostly find coins valued at 1-2 gold with occasional 5, 10, 20 values - Since you lose *everything* when you die it's useless to grind out gear. You even lose "legendary toys" found in dungeons. They let you "buy" *some* of your current gear for your next life, but legendary toys are not allowed and even those costs are prohibitive -You can power up your gear - but the power ups are lost when you die - which will happen because they force you into the final dungeon via a very short timer. You can buy more time for 100 special currency - again, finding 1 at a time, mostly - so, again, super grindy. Oh, and you only buy *one* day/100 shards -To collect shards, you fight the current zone's "champion" creature - a randomly selected creature within the zone. Every hit on this creature yields drops, making them the only creature you want to kill because of the super low drop rates. Upon the champion's death, another creature is randomly selected within the zone .. the *whole* zone so you're constantly chasing the champ all over the zone .. wasting precious time while the clock counts down to the forced boss battle - and likely death Not fun
