Beware! "NOW LOADING..."

The Good

Great hack 'n' slash game. Boring at first but it grows on you.

There is a "Quick Save" command which allows you to save anywhere in the game. This is a great option if you only have little time to spend playing.

Challeging bosses that take some strategy to beat.

The sound is good, suits the game really well.

The Bad

Small letters which could be hard on your eyes. When i am playing it at night it actually makes me sleepy and i don't want to play it anymore.

The game has long loading times. Every room/screen you enter the game is "NOW LOADING..." Sometimes they change the colours of the wording to make it seem different or something, but it really annoys me. Plus the game is overall slow and laggy.

Game play is a little too repetitive. You run back and forward the same towns over and over again and all that loading makes it a real waste of time.

Poor graphics. Characters are blurry and not detailed.

I would have given it a score of at least 7.5 if it wasn't for all that loading. Overall it's a fun game to play but i would definitely not play it more then once.
