This is a solid game, more puzzle-oriented compared to the more traditional take on top-down Zelda-likes. It starts out a bit slower, but has just the right amount of things to do and places to explore for a 6-8 hour run. Plus, there are plenty of things I'm seeing to encourage more play, from romance options (rare for a top-down game like this), equipment that offers permanent buffs, and a second ending.

Not for the action-minded, but a solid recommendation. Strict puzzle-players might make do with getting past some of the bosses with the easily accessed buffs from stores, and careful attention to the boss patterns.

Absolutely obsessed with this games art direction, awesome retro throwback🤙
