How it feels

A fluid, hand-painted action RPG where fast-paced combat and exploration through a beautiful fantasy world are driven by a personal quest for identity.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art, the charming companion Fidget, and the story. Combat can feel repetitive and controls a bit slippery. On normal difficulty the game is easy, but harder modes spike with one-shot enemies. Some note excessive visual effects like flashing lights and screen shake that can be a problem for migraine sufferers.
