I actually like when games encourage you to try different builds, but limiting the progress of the game behind it may be too much. Still, seems a game I would enjoy, nice review!

[mikevisby]

I am actually really enjoying this. At first, I didn't realize that leveling up one form unlocks more, I just thought you unlock more as the game progresses. So I just used a form I liked, the ranger. Then I realized I needed a form I didn't have for a side quest, so I ended up walking back and forth in two areas(for respawn), grinding my other forms. Plus I had to grind a bit because one of the bosses murdered me quite a few times. Finally finished that boss last night so back on track!

I've seen 2 vastly different reviews of this, 1 positive and 1 negative. Curious to try it out and see what I think.

“Nobody saves the world” - we’ll see about that

[danielproctor]

This game is totaly worth a buy in my opinion. I've had a blast with it and at over 20 hours in I still have plenty more to do!!

Thank you for the review. The form system and charm of the art and writing originally put this on my radar, but after hearing on how the primary gameplay loop actually works I think I’ll just try it on game pass first instead. Maybe I missed it but I didn’t hear much in the way of the game’s story. Was it something just not worth talking about?

[kokoloko]

I'm just glad there's new music by Jim Guthrie, which would've been my biggest selling point anyway.

Gotta try this bad boy. Being from the people behind Guacamele is all the recommendation I need. Thanks for the review, Jesse.

Short and precise review thumbs up from me. But I wouldnt necessarily say the game having you preform tasks to progress in a form is counter intuitive to playing how you want. Rather they are having you try a specific task in a form forcing you to better understand the strengths, and weaknesses of that form. While this may seem frustrating I think it allows the user to have a much more rounded experience with each form. You may find/think of even cooler skill combinations that you may not have even thought of had you not tried certain skills in the way the game forces you to try in order to advance in that form.

Just picked this up on PS5. Super hard to put down

The leveling system sounds terrible. Sounds like it's a "Great, you've leveled up your skills, but you don't need them anymore and you'll have to start over again with a different skill"

[danh.]

Me and my gf are having a blast with this game. It’s such a pleasant surprise, and surprisingly difficult in areas. It’s easy enough for her to hang, but difficult enough to let me flex my skills from time to time.

Shame that this seems flawed, the art style is awesome ☺️ certainly worth a go on Gamepass I imagine

[seanfager]

Requiring the character to constantly try new systems and the player to embrace their weakest skill sets (eg newest, least understood/ not-yet-intuitive mechanics) to gain XP is a solid concept.

[jaymanilla]

Scaled leveling in this game. So you level up but don't get any stronger. There's almost no point in leveling. If you grind the enemies level up with you. I wouldn't have bought the game if I knew. Nobody mentions the scaled leveling in any reviews anywhere. 6/10

[elamriti]

I cant deal with the leveling system its dragging and not satisfiing, the world is full if enemys just killing them wont give u anything i was not aware kf this at the beginning lf the game, when some one told me how to level up thats when the problem started for me dragging, leveling 1 caracter is fun 3 4 5 but to many is dragging the game
Collect mana with 1 caracter us fun 2 maybe 3 is pushing it 4 no thanks
Art and animation is a 10/10

[Luckyth]

I always check to see if the time of the review is past 3 minutes : (

[JayFFAFAlesanaES]

It looks easier to track the characters than something like Diablo 3 and that was a blast multiplayer on Switch with my friend.

[gbalfour]

Just heard of this game yesterday.
Thanks for review, I was curious if the issues I saw others saw.

[Typical]

if the attacks were omnidirectional and not just up down left right think this game would have shined better.
