Ok.....This title is another love/hate relationship. I gotta say that the only reason I keep playing is because this is a fantasy world that is worth exploring. Even if the game is linear and short, you'll still play again for the vibrant characters (semi ok voice acting) and level design. The "at your fingertips" combat gets BIG ups from me; my main boggle (demolition man reference ftw) is that the game kinda leaves you stranded on your own A LOT, and unless you've farmed/got lost and leveled a bit you will get your keister handed to you a few times until you learn how to strategize the battle in your favor.

Now earlier I said Vibrant characters....If you can put up with the akward voice acting (I think it's the quality of the voice) the characters are each lovable in their own right (Alish being the omission and exception bc of da booteh). Don't go into first person because it will ruin the beautiful art style of the landscapes in some scenarios. But in terms of combat effects, this title does it pretty damn good. Your techniques are wonderfully animated and never boring to look at. Your enemies won't like them too much because they'll either be turned into soup of bled out like a stuck pig (kudos for gore, always).

Story wise.....Wait there was a story!? All jokes aside, the story is a bit lackluster as character motivations are nearly nonexistant beyond "Hey lets go do these things, because....magic and reasons". It's there, just sort of hard to follow along with.

This title gets a GO from me, based on the fact that it's nice to look at, fun to make stuff dead, and once you uncover the lore it becomes a gem.
