What players say
Obviously, I am sucker for the pixel art, so i really like this game, Story is well made, wish there would be more, ngl. All characters are fun to play, but my tiny Lucy will always win, go, my small yelly gremlin, throw fireballs at everyone, everywhere.

Honestly, this is easily one of the best games I've ever played, and I don't say that lightly. Everything about this game is fantastic. The storytelling, the beautiful soundtrack, the variety of combat styles, the progression system, and the overall atmosphere are simply outstanding. Every character feels unique, and the gameplay stays interesting throughout the entire experience. But what truly makes this game...
no matchmaking or lobbies very few indicators telling you what you're actually supposed to dodge and everything on a level is the same like four colors making it hard to see what is going on sworn has online matchmaking and clear indicators of most incoming damage allowing you to react rather than memorize and is therefor a better game . i got this for four bucks with the dlcs and while not refunding it i also do...
