I've just played about an hour and a half of this game and I couldn't stop smiling the entire time. The writing is good, I haven't laughed this much at flavour text in a long time, let alone dialogue. The world is amazingly well realised and rivals the likes of Mieville for originality and imagination. I don't want to spoil anything, but there are story and design concepts I loved within the first 5 minutes of gameplay.

The meat of the gameplay is a slick 3 vs 3 ritualised sports game, almost a cross between basketball and rugby, where you control one character at a time whilst the others remain wherever you left them, projecting a defensive aura, which temporariliy banishes opponents when they come into contact with it. Without going too indepth into the mechanics they seem to be elegant and well executed. I've seen a few classes so far and they are all distinct whilst having a unified set of controls. There are level ups, items, and lots of events.

I could not get into Bastion or Transistor but this game has it's hooks in me in a way no other game has in years. I'd highly recommend you take the plunge.

Crazy hybrid of Nethack and Dominions. You can use mushrooms to somehow create an army of snakes. Hail Satan.
