  • The sublime visuals, excellent overall presentation and atmosphere, slick and intuitive combat system
  • Fighting can feel basic and repetitive at times, game length is extended by needless backtracking
  • A fun but flawed romp through a stupifyingly beautiful 2D fantasy world...

  • Fesselnde Atmosphäre, Tolle 2DWelt, Pure Hack ’n’ SlayAction, Tutorial, Freischaltbare Schwerter und Techniken, Bewegungssteuerung mit Nunchuck
