I absolutely loved this game! It's such a unique and interesting mix of an RPG and Metroidvania. There's a world map you can walk around with towns and dungeons and sidequests and everything but the towns and dungeons are all setup in a metroidvania style. There's no exp, you power up by finding hidden items that raise your health or stamina. The game really focuses on exploration and puzzle solving which I really loved. There's literally hundreds of secrets to find. The combat can maybe be a bit janky at times. Some of the boss fights felt really difficult and unfair. But other than that this game was an absolute masterpiece. It was 100% right up my alley and I loved it.

Spectacular game! Well made, well designed, well polished, with good gameplay, story, characters, music, puzzles, combat, graphics (if you like pixel art, which I do) - the works. Lots of hidden content to find and off-the-main-path areas to explore, something I personally love doing. Usually when I had an idea that I thought might lead to some hidden content, it turned out to be correct, and that's really neat. Highly recommended.

10/10 for sure. Maybe 11/10 just to be safe. Definitely recommended. This game has incredible spirit. It feels like the old 2D zelda games if only the developers had access to better technology. The game design here is immaculate, every pixel thought through. I realize that many people will find the combat system annoying, and will call it too difficult. But they don't get it. That's the point! You are a little girl against monsters and war machines. OF COURSE combat is difficult! The difficulty is part of what I love! A video game that doesn't coddle it's players to make it more accessible. But it doesn't just make it crazy difficult and leave it, like so many other games have done. Instead, if you allow yourself to be invested in the story, the game will make you WANT to continue, and WANT to develop the skills necessary to be good at the game. This is a point where many other games fail. Now, to be fair, I have not played a great deal of indie games, yet somehow I do feel confident that this is a game that stands out for its game design. Here's hoping for a sequel.

It is a crime that this game isn't more popular. There is a lot of game play and it's really fun and unique. Don't let the art style fool you. This game is NOT easy, but it's also not brutally difficult. The game uses the Breath of the Wild healing mechanic where you find food and then cook it to get more health from it, but there's a little cooking mini game you have to do in order to successfully cook the food, which gets harder the stronger the food is. The bosses are fun and challenging, but my only real gripe is that a couple bosses require you to do pixel perfect jumps to avoid their attacks which can get pretty frustrating. Maybe it's because I have been playing souls-likes, but it would be cool if the roll had invisibility frames so it felt more useful especially when you are in a tight situation. Other than that, I feel like the bosses require a good amount of skill, but aren't like souls bosses where you need 10+ attempts depending on the boss. There are a lot of items to collect and a lot of lore to find. The game really rewards you for going out of your way. All the towns feel alive and exciting. The soundtrack for the game is excellent. Some real bangers in it. Something the game does that I have never seen before in a metroidvania is have a Golden Sun/JRPG type of map where when you have a chance to encounter enemies as you travel from place to place. It's very unique and it's not as random as something like Pokemon battle encounters. If you play it, you will see what I mean. Overall, even though I haven't gotten every single item or 100% the game (I have beaten the final boss), I totally recommend this game. It will scratch that metroidvania itch you may have and definitely require you to use your brain! I give it an 7.5/10
