A brilliant, old-school, Ultima-like RPG with a great story, amazing world-building, and a stunning level of refinement of the game mechanics. This game is truly greater than the sum of its parts.
The game has amazing pixel art, fantastic music and sound effects, great gameplay, a briliant world, and a great story. It has some Rogue-lite elements to it, a classic arcade overhead action interface, a host of different playable characters with their own styles/strengths/weaknesses in play, and a gameplay loop combining the classic get-stronger-to-advance-story setup. There are 3 main areas with 3 subdivisions. Each subdivision has a boss and each area has a bigger boss. Along the way there are an assortment of side-quests and story moments that expand the scope of the game. At its heart it is a game about good vs evil, right vs wrong, life vs death, how old sins cast long shadows, the power of redemption, and the importance of family. As obvious as those things sound when describing a game, they've been in short supply the last few years in culture and entertainment. The bottom line is it's a fantastic game in every way. I can't recommend it enough.
Interesting game with a good story... Has just enough creepy vibe to it... Puzzles are good and has a hint system to put you on the path... Has some slight jank to the camera when loading assets but it's forgivable...
