What players say

Players praise the deterministic combat that turns each fight into a puzzle, with no random outcomes. Many say it is easy to learn but grows significantly harder, especially with bonus objectives. Reviews also highlight the gradual introduction of mechanics and the witty dialogue, though one player found later puzzles frustrating.
