I love this game, however, it does have some major issues, mainly regarding it's balance, it's either super easy or almost impossible, the item variety is pretty great... but more often than not you'll only really "need" three of those to beat the game, as it's more knowledge/skill based than items/stats based, it takes time to get used to it's quirks, but all in all I think it's a fantastically unique game that accomplishes hooking you into wanting to try again and again... The final boss can feel extremely cheap and BS, however, as long as you keep your distance and learn how to perfect block, you'll be fine, as most enemies (bosses included) won't try to attack you unless you're fairly close to them, I'd like to say more, but I think it's better if you experience it by yourself, it's worth it (though frustrating af if you're just getting started)
