The game is really hard. You may die very, very often, which could be very frustrating with the lack of checkpoints. It almost plays like a one-shot arcade game where the levels are absolute and you are meant to try again, and again, and again to see what else the world you are now mystified by has to offer. However, it’s not nearly as addictive as it should or could be. The objective of the story can get easily overlooked with story descriptions getting visually lost in the blue, black and white color pallet. The alluring concept of ‘freeing souls’ that the premise promises is very undersold by lackluster animation even as the game dedicates an entire command and key to ‘free the souls’; it doesn’t give you much satisfaction in what is supposed to be your ONLY objective other than making jelly beasts go splat . The main problem is that there isn’t much to come back to. The main character’s only attack ability is a seemingly weak shockwave attack, it could do with some more EASIER baddies bust.
