What players say

92% of 17,179 reviews are positive · 85% of 81 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the story and characters, real-time combat, pixel art, and music. The main complaint is the volume and length of puzzles, especially dungeon challenges that require precise aiming, timing, or platforming; some players also say these sections slow the story's pace.
