    An incredibly deep story with colorful characters, great combat, level design, and platforming. The pacing
    is smooth, the RPG elements are rewarding - especially the upgrades.

    CONS:
    Gameplay can feel somewhat repetitive at times; near the end of the game, combat it can be quite
    confusing since your allies are fighting right next to you in close combat situations. Also, the controls can
    be finicky in certain areas, especially if you need to use your dash or climb mechanic. But those
    complaints are few and far between.

    My final score is a B. Great game. Highly recommended.    … Expand

    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.
