A bright, cartoonish turn-based RPG with a comedic, music-infused feel and lighthearted combat.

What players say

Players praise the unique twist on turn-based combat and the consistently funny writing, with many saying the game gets better after a slow start. The soundtrack and art style are highlights, and while the core game is 16-25 hours, some wish the level cap allowed more time with side content.
