Controls feel slugish and unresponsive and enemy damage is total.

Unfortunately it seems very random if it properly gives the achievements. It's also a very short game. It's fun to play but probably not worth the money.

Man this is incredibly good. It's a great mix between puzzle and tactics. The vast amount of damage you can do in one turn coupled with the ability to undo any action until you decide to go to the next turn is makes it very puzzle like.

Same game with some subtle graphical and music improvements. and HOURS of miserable dull commentary. like 3 minutes on the design of every single puzzle. The art and music commentary are better if you're into that. Lost patience maybe I'll finish listening to it later.

Jesus christ this game has an incredible number of branches.

It's ok but would not recommend. Aside from the rare crash it's missing the obvious feature of being able to delete saved layouts. It also currently promises it's next update in 2020.

This game is pretty good. Really nice graphics. Kind of an exploration game. Challenge level is medium. A lot of things (map glyphs included!) don't explain how they work so stay the heck away from this if you don't have a lot of gaming experience already.
Fighting is usually fair but difficult. If you don't pay attention and heal you can get dropped quite fast. You can carry enough health that the low max health usually isn't an issue. There was one time when I got to right in front of a boss without health pickups 1 hp remaining and had to retreat and try again.
Game gets much easier with chain dash, bullet dash immunity, bullet reflect.
I might go back and try new game plus.

It's a semi solid metroidvania. They didn't really balance the end game though. You do tons of damage with enough upgrades have over 10 heals, which you will need because you need to heal after every hit that will do half your health in endgame. With enough upgrades you can just stand next to a boss and more or less wail on them tanking most of the damage.

This game kind of takes a lot longer then it needs to, but it really, really delivers on its premise.

This game is amazing. This game is also really difficult and frustrating. I really liked this game, but I make no guarantees about your mileage.
