Pros: -Nice opening and cutscenes -The new mechanics are fine -A few cute moments peppered throughout -The artstyle of the cutscenes and character portraits are fine Cons: -Main gameplay is boring and tedious -Soundtrack is very lacking compared to its predecessors -Reused sprites from previous game (jarring when you consider the flatter backgrounds and radically different character portraits) -Flatter and less colorful backgrounds that pop out much less than HGH -Bosses are less interesting for numerous reasons (too much/too little health, boring mechanics, all have the same (bad) music) Verdict: Definitely not worth $30, just play Pirate's Curse or Half Genie Hero, or literally any metroidvania. It will be a more pleasant experience. Watch the opening on YouTube tho.

The only reason this game isn't five stars is because of the forced rhyming dialogue.
