The verdict
A charming, hand-drawn, quirky adventure with a living world and fun bosses, but not really a metroidvania. Skip it if you want tight action or clear direction.
Great for
Players who enjoy quirky worlds, reading dialogue, exploration and boss fights, in the vein of Paper Mario
Main risk
Cryptic progression, waiting and grinding make it feel aimless, and it isn't the metroidvania the tags promise
What players love

Money and credit grinding

“The amount of farming for Smurts before the Bervis fight is dumb and I don't think it is worth dedicating that much time into it.”
