Clunky controls and cheap looking graphics. I wanted to like this game so bad. Studio Ghibli is usually a home run, but I guess that’s just for movies. It’s a low-poly world that makes a lot of promises it can’t keep. It could be visually stunning if they’d just tried a little harder, but this just feels lazy. It just feels like I’m running around a field without even a clearly defined edge of the world, and completely random fades to white.

Tedious character progression and oversized hit boxes. The hit boxes are ridiculous, and you’ll consistently be hit by attacks that didn’t come close to touching you. Moreover, if you want to customize your character even a little, you have to repurchase your transmutations every single time you switch one of them out. So you’re constantly having to grind and grind and grind just to switch out character traits that should be permanently available after purchase like in basically every other roguelike I’ve played. I play roguelikes because I wanna restart the gameplay, not the grind.
