What players say

Players say Kotama and Academy Citadel is a solid metroidvania with combat that revolves around parrying. Recovery costs money, which one reviewer calls nearly infinite healing. Bosses are fun but some are tedious or unfair. The exploration is rewarding, and the anime art style and character designs are a big draw, though story and music are merely okay.
