    The developer clearly took the needs of the platform into account, providing all kinds of options that make sense for mobile players, but without compromising an inch on the gameplay.

    There's a great game here, and while it is a little hamstrung by the controls, it's still worth checking out.

    PROS;
    An incredibly deep story with colorful characters, great combat, level design, and platforming. The pacing

    be finicky in certain areas, especially if you need to use your dash or climb mechanic. But those
