+ | | So far I like it, but probably not enough to bother buying it. I particularly like the graphics, look both like early 3-D renders and [[Mega Drive]] sprites, really vibrant. Stage design reminds me a bit of the latest //Kirby// game. The combination of moves hasn't really gelled together for me, and though I kinda like the idea of how combat works, how you have to get overwhelmed to take a hit, it's mostly just spinning the joystick around, which always makes me feel a bit anxious, like I'm killing my controller, especially now these things are so expensive. || | ||

Characters are hokey, and I don't care about story stuff anyway. || | | Playing this at the moment while it's on the Switch Online trial thing.\\ I see why people like it, I get real sucked into playing it for long stretches, but I don't think I actually like it.
