Character is zoomed out a bit too far. No minimap. Background and foreground interferes Heavily. Camera moves to fix the character at the back 2/3rds when character runs,stops,turns around, making for a dizzying ride and it also auto-zooms depending on the area and even moves up/down within an area on it's own. Hardcoded keys for accessing map, accepting some menus, and moving the camera (it's hold Ctrl and move mouse for some reason, also janky movement). Hitbox is way too sensitive/large. Too many actions involved in the menus (at stores, need to select purchase, click for dialogue, move to Yes, click to buy. In the map, need to interact with throne, press map, press fast travel, accept fast travel, etc). Skill tree assumes controller pad, and don't take up/down & left/right keyboard keys being pressed simultaneously.

Progress on going, but all in all. I actually enjoy it so far.

Funnily enough the quality of the visuals in that game reminds me a lot of old flash games I used to play on Newgrounds back in the day, they are similar however they look more polished and with more details.

Scratch that. The game is fucked up. The bosses are insane. Requires perfect dodging for 10 minutes to get 1 hit in. No more.
