Pros
Pro Polished art design
The graphics, music and voice acting are all top notch. Considering the amount of money this game made through its Kickstarter, it is no surprise the extent of the polish of the game.
Pro Bleak yet beautiful music score
Composed by Austin Wintory, the musical score is quite beautiful and haunting.
Pro Great hand drawn graphics
The all hand drawn graphics are animated smoothly and are extremely detailed which makes for one heck of a good looking game.
Cons
Con Poor story in second act
The second act of the game has an increasingly incoherent story that explains very little of what is going on. Considering the first act ends with a cliffhanger and many questions to be asked, to see the second half explain almost none of it makes for a frustrating story.
Con Pretty difficult and uneven
The difficulty is sometime uneven with some battles being not to hard after one that was extremely difficult. Couple this with how difficult the game can be even on the easy setting and it is very apparent that the game will take some patience to complete.
