The beautiful sprite works propel the graphics to the fore front but the game play is not to be overlooked.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
11 of 82 sampled reviews raised it
The pixel art is very nice, music is nostalgic of 90's Capcom fantasy games, the characters are charming, the combat is simple but good, I love the level designs (but they can get a bit repetitive), and the enemies are fun.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 82 sampled reviews raised it
Authentic late '80s FM synth OST (OPM/YM2151+samples chip I'm guessing?) Well done announcer voice in the vein of old arcade games, Great spritework as usual by Nieborg
