While I somewhat, kinda dig the art-style, I dont' like how washed out the colors scheme looking. Gameplay looks pretty solid, especially the traversal. We'll see. I'll put it on the list, but doubt I'll day 1 buy.

People are saying the game feels “lifeless” which reminds me of indivisible. It looks good and looks like it would play it good but theres something missing about it that makes it captivating.

Indivisible was dope AF tho. Definitely had a great spin on the turn-based rpg combat and was cool that they did that with a platforming hybrid mix. I didn't feel that game was lifeless at all. Hell, Indivisible looks plays so different than this game, considering that, I don't even get your comparison, lol.

Hmmm, idk it just didn’t grab me im not sure why, i liked all the systems individually, loved the animation and art style, story wasn’t bad. Maybe I’ll give it another chance.

I’ll probably cop this later actually.

It was a complete surprise when I finally got around to playing it. Got a tad tedious near the end of the game, but was more than fun enough for me to actually finish it. I've low-key considred replaying since there'sa great amount of characters that mostly play different from one another. Too bad all the shenanigans with its devs shytting the bed on the promises for more content with it.
