This game is so bad that I had to write my first game review to warn other players.
Graphics are cute, the character movement is good. They did well there and that's were the positive things to say end.
The story is non-existent. There's nothing to puah you yo rescue townspeople other than finish the game.
The puzzles have no hints whatsoever, if you need to find a combination for a door you have to move through the whole map and figure out that you needed to count the starts on a painting.
There's a part at the end that you can only access by wearing a specific pendant and reading some writing on the wall. No one tells you to do that, there are no hints on the pendant either and no way to know that's what you need to do.
The map is very inconvenient, there's an option to place a blinking point to mark a place but that's all. Way points are very far away from everything, so you need to walk most of the time. There's no way point to town, so you have to move to the first floor and then walk to town.
When you finish a level, they send you randomly to another level...but there's nothing to do on that level! So you have to walk everything AGAIN while you figure out what to do.
The enemies will hit you most of the time doesn't matter what you do because their mechanics are just weird. There's a lot of Symphony of the Night here, even the monsters and their colors. But as someone else mentioned above: Symphony of the Night was fun, this game is not.
Now the price. I saw the price on the Nintendo eShop for $20 which is insane considering how awful the game is. $5 is more likely, if you want to try it any way, be sure to check other stores and wait for a discount.
