An awesome turned-based combat game. Lovely artwork making the world lively and entertaining. I also found myself enjoying the rhyming scheme with each line. Solid recommendation, especially on the steam deck.

It's a short game. What I think is great about it is that it isn't a long a game. It isn't to open world so it is not super overwhelming. It also isn't a grind. The artwork is lovely too. I also own on switch.

This would be a pretty average Turn-Based RPG, except: [*] Combat works in a timeline that you can manipulate manually. Like, really manually. Hold the left mouse button on top of an enemy and they'll get slowed down, so you can delay attacks or time yours to interrupt theirs. [*] The whole thing is in rhymes : every single line of dialogue, even the lore collectables. Not the items' descriptions or menus, sure. Of course, the rhymming scheme changes a lot, but it's still pretty impressive and unique. [*] There are two layers to build-making : every character has three branches of skill to spec into, but also three slots to insert craftable modifiers. So you can choose what function a char will have in your party, as well as what bonuses they'll have. You can have three characters equipped with +5% XP bonuses, or mix those into a single +10%. My advice is that you don't go to max levels so soon, it's better to have two characters with +15% damage to magic attacks than only one with +20%. The rest of the game is good in quality. Artwork, enemy variety and distribution, the pacing, and the puzzles. The soundtrack is beautiful, though. But nothing stands out as much as the previous emphasized points. I've cried to this story 10 years ago, not so much nowadays.
