Between that is a great story of queer love and community overcoming oppression and mutual support breaking away from toxic support.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
23 of 84 sampled reviews raised it
Within the game each section takes you to another uniquely designed big encounter, each with its own unique mechanics and patterns to learn and all with a killer sense of style and some of the best use of royalty free music I think I’ve ever seen.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
10 of 84 sampled reviews raised it
I would definitely rate it as challenging overall, but if you have a hard time, there are a lot of options to adjust it to the exact difficulty level you prefer.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
9 of 84 sampled reviews raised it
The combat system is pretty punishing and it revolves around trial-and-error, but the difficulty can be customized in many different ways (both easier and harder) up to a godmode.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 84 sampled reviews raised it
The upbeat chiptune soundtrack is also very catchy and suits the game perfectly.
Accessibility
Players who bring up Accessibility mostly praise it.
5 of 84 sampled reviews raised it
The thing however that allowed me to have fun with this, genuine mechanical fun in a genre that usually pushes me out is its amazing accessibility features.
