It’s not typical for a smaller indie title to focus on this area and it was great to see here. From how much damage you do, enemies do, to things like auto-blocking you can make the game as easy or hard as you want. By default the devs wanted it to be a difficult experience because the sense of progression feels best that way, but if you’re not in the mood for a loot and experience grind you have a ton of control on a bevy of accessibility features. One of the best features here is your choice in how easy or difficult things are. Each of the game’s 4 main levels is broken up in a grid-like pattern where you face ever more difficult enemies. After a short introductory sequence to the game’s many progression mechanics, it is an ARPG after all, you begin the heart of things which is your dungeon-crawling adventures. The game features a mix of real-world and fantasy locations as you quickly learn just what the Professor has been up to. Whether it’s traversing your mansion home where the orphaned twins live with the “Professor” or taking your moped around the city (always in a 2D perspective though you can shift planes up and down at any time) things look beautiful. Running in the Unity engine the game features great animation during cutscenes and gameplay alike. I was immediately struck by how damned pretty this game is. After a “you will get your ass handed to you” first boss things go back in time a short while and the game begins proper.
