The verdict
A charming Flash-era nostalgia trip built around addictive reflex training minigames and light turn-based combat. Skip it if you hate grinding, want 100% achievements, or need controller support.
Great for
Flash-game nostalgia fans who enjoy reflex minigames and watching numbers go up
Main risk
Training minigames become repetitive, brutally hard grinds that make up most of the playtime
