Pros
Pro Varied, beautiful world
A variety in locations visited and enemies met, that all are beautifully designed, gives the game a world that feels alive.
Pro Great combat system
Choose between solo and paired combat, where damage dealt is increased and damage taken in shared. Add to that a 'rock, paper, scissors'-type elements system mixed with a great selection of magic abilities, choice passive traits and charge bars that unlock special abilities and you get a deep combat system.
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 Dull story
The story feels as though it falls flat during most of the game.
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.
