Besides the great visuals and music this games greatest strength is its surprisingly creative turn-based bullet hell combat.

3 of 169 sampled reviews raised it
A constant homage to classic games, from its interface, limited inventory, and manual save system, to its combat system that ranges from QTEs in each attack à la Super Mario RPG to the unique and surprising bullet hell mechanics of Undertale for each enemy.
