The Bottom Line:

"Almost, but not quite"

The controls are TERRIBLE... Ok I had to start with that, not enough are saying it. The first mission of the game seems custom designed to illustrate just how restrictive the camera controls are and just how bad of a decision having wall running and jumping on the same button can be. Good luck exploring in this game, it's got lots of really bad platforming...

Targeting units in battle is also a mess, which is to be expected in games like these so it's hard to take points off, but if an enemy so much as taps it breaks your attack combos, leaving the massively overpowered move I like to call 'jump hammer smash' as your best option in most combat situations. The TERRIBLE controls aside, the game looks pretty good.

Graphically the game looks great despite a bad port. Aside from a few textures the game is gorgeous.

The story isn't very complex or enthralling, but it's fairly well presented and interesting enough to keep you playing.

The music is fantastic and the in game cutscenes and cinematic are well presented.

The gameplay is a lot like TLoZ: Twilight Princess combined with elements of LoK: Soul Eater, the puzzles are often straight forward but occasionally seem poorly thought out with no indication of how to proceed, but the game can be enjoyable once you get into it.

If not for the TERRIBLE controls this game would be very easy to recommend. Unfortunately, as previously stated, the controls in this game are TERRIBLE, we're talking accidentally jumping to your death trying to run on walls, fighting with your camera to get a good view of a collectable you're trying to reach, not being able to see where you're supposed to jump to, hard to target enemies, poorly thought out contextual dodging (effected by camera over directions, TERRIBLE idea). The Terribad controls in general are the only reason I can't give this an 8.0, if not for the controls this game would be great.
