The same quality applies to the audiovisual presentation, with pleasant music tracks, nice sound design and detailed, colorful visuals.

I like the story for the most part, but do think some dialogue could have helped.

3 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Whether using the Xbox One gamepad, Steam controller, Xbox 360 controller, PlayStation Dualshock 4 (it even shows the PlayStation buttons), a PlayStation 3 pad or my little 8BitDo Zero 2 controller, Kaze and the Wild Masks worked straight away with every wireless gamepad I tested it with.
