Note: Unlike reviews, comments are considered temporary and may be deleted/purged without notice."Is it metroidvania? Not really as it is very linear and many environments look similar, making some backtracking a chore. Is it a twin stick shooter? Again, not a great one as the majority of the game takes place in cramped cave environments. Does it have any depth to its gameplay? Not really beyond recruiting new characters and collecting coins to buy optional upgrades and cosmetic items."
If this game wanted to be a better twin-stick shooter, it needed bigger environments to take advantage of it. And the last dungeon was practically 40 minutes of copy/paste repetitive platform jumping that felt unbelievably rushed (I assume the devs just wanted to be done with the game by that point after 9 years).
Despite this, I did really enjoy the story and lore and had an overall okay time, but I'd only recommend this game on sale.
