✅ Quite underrated JRPG. Really liked the story. Each bosses had their own backstories which were interesting to read
✅ 2 playable characters, the dialogues between them were interesting and quite funny sometimes
✅ Personally found the combat fun and satisfying
✅ Huge skill tree
✅ Interesting lores
❌ Boss fights are extremely difficult for a game like this. I don't think any average gamers can beat them
❌ There is a section in the game which is horribly designed; everything is dark and you have to pass through platforms where you can barely see anything. It was such a painful experience
❌ Movement/Dodging doesn't feel fluid
❌ Graphics looks dull
❌ Controls feels stiff which makes the platforming difficult
