Look, it's probably my own damn fault for buying a Soulslike when I generally hate Soulslikes.

But I really did not enjoy this one, as much as I wanted to. I loved reading Redwall while growing up. It has an interesting art style and so on.

Also, I'm a furry, so there's that.

These were not enough to salvage a game with truly bewildering hitboxes--a concept utterly crucial to have locked down airtight for Soulslikes. Instead, it was just depressing and sadistic, with interspersed moments that felt actually unfair to the player instead of merely to the protagonist (another cardinal sin, even for the genre).

Like any game, there will be people who adore this game, surely. I, however, cannot be one of them. I have put up with Gitting Gud for a number of games better than this at feeling worthwhile (the Monster Hunter series, for instance, which I've expended far too many hours of my life upon), so it is not merely that I am not up to the challenge; indeed, I finished Tales of Iron's campaign.

I simply did not have fun.
