A classic metroidvania, it takes some of the best mechanics from games like Order of Ecclesia, and even makes improvements over some of them. It adds the time travel mechanic. You can travel between the past and the present and changing things in the past, changes history. Reminds me of Oracle of Ages (Zelda for GBC) for example.
It's incredibly well done in the level design department, and I even love the monsters. However, it has a few problems.
1. The story is weak. The first time I read Eragon I liked it but I felt something was wrong: I had already read it somewhere. That story took everything from other very well known and better stories. This game does the same thing. There's nothing original in this story, you feel like you have already played it. That's it, if you are not a kid or very inexperienced. Which is ok, I would gladly 100% recommend this game to any kid. If you are young, if you don't know what I am talking about when I mention Order of Ecclesia or Oracle of ages, then this is your game.
2. The story is cringe. Yeah, it touches the previous point but I had to point it out again. I rolled my eyes a few times. Again, teens are gonna love this ^^
3. The difficulty is BROKEN. This is more serious. The way the weapons level up makes impossible to use more than one type of weapon reliably, because if you use more than that, the exp will divide and they will stay weak. To be stronger, you have to focus on ONE weapon, the other become useless very fast, which is a HUUUGE disappointment. There are a lot of cool weapons I barely could try because of how weak they were.
In the same topic, the strong attack DESTROYS EVERYTHING. You can rush the game by using ether potions and spam that attack. Seriously, in normal difficulty you are invincible.
4. Finally, the game is too short. Really. It's like one area in a Castlevania game.

I recommend the game, it's enjoyable, but the budget was small and it shows. Great ideas, but limited resources.
