When I laid my eyes upon The Tarnishing of Juxtia, I knew I had to try it out; I adored its colourful, pixelated visuals, as well as its promise of delivering a 2D action RPG with dark-ish fantasy themes.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 222 sampled reviews raised it
The game is not without it's flaws however, the biggest one being the lack of music in most places, which is a real big shame as the soundtrack is really good when it does play (during bosses and some arena's).
