General
This game has gotten a lot of praise since it came out, and I'm going to add in on that praise.
The game itself looks amazing, to the art style and moving backgrounds. If you have a nice comp, max those settings out and this game is a sight to behold. How fluid everything moves and comes to life around you. Sometimes I would even just stop playing to look at all the things I could see in the background!
The music as well is very well done, fits the mood of all the areas you go into. From the grassy fields, to the gloomy caves under the earth. Stepping up the tones of it when things heat up or in battles.
Game play wise its a metriodvanina, having to get power ups to get to other areas of the game, using those power ups to get other things you missed from other areas, using those powers in battle, making jumps and all that good stuff. Crawling on walls, bouncing on bad guys to get to other places on the map. You do have a life bar, that can get bigger with health power ups you find along the way, same with its magic like system. You're main attack being a little sprite that shoots LAZORZ!! and a ground pound to name just a couple.
But there are things and places, scripted events that will one shot you. And this game can get hard at times, but not the unfair kinda hard, all about good timing with jumps, air dashes all of that. Hell there's even an Ach for beating the game with no deaths, which it does even track as well. Exploring is the key thing, to find all the hidden life and magic power ups. There is a skill tree as well, since you gain EXP for killing things, finding point upgrades. Basic really, one for attack, life and magic boosting different things.
Not going to spoil the story at all in this, but I will say it hits you in the feels A LOT....don't know how many times I got misty in the eyes. Adds to the game time with finding all the hidden goodies and secrets
10/10 would cry playing it again
