the combat was engaging and fun each skill had a use, and it required you to really think about what you are doing in order to win the fight. although there are a few bugs that prevent some things from working at times but seeing as it was made for a competition with a narrow time limit i do not hold it against the game. the story was excellent the characters were very charming with intriguing personalities fun banter and the hints at their backgrounds and motivations makes me wish i could have more time with them. the visuals were passable though could have had more polish it was obvious which elements were stock sprights and which were created by the game developer and some of the background could have used more work to make it a visual wonder. as for the theme it hits the nail on the head but doesn't do the bare minimum it goes above and beyond to make its mark on the theme while still keeping it in mind. overall, it is an excellent game that with more time to polish could be something rivaling the indi game dev industry.
