Outsite this major flaw, the game is a masterclass in engaging combat and build progress.
Graphics

13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are pixelated and cute (like in Rain World, but way better here), the music is fun, the effects are pleasing to the eye, but when it comes to the actual gameplay — it’s really, really bad.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sprites and animations are great, and the character design is coherent and satisfying.
