Isn't all this what I said a few pages back? Lol. At least you guys finally understand what I was saying.
I personally wouldn't call this game a masterpiece; it's a good game, but it hasn't done anything we've not seen done before, nor is the game itself all that deep. It's sort of like a Red Mage of gaming; it combines several different genres (Bullet Hell, RPG, Puzzle-solving as the primary components) into one, but doesn't thrive with any of them. It just gives you a low-to-moderate dose of each. The writing and characters is where it shines, but there are plenty of other games that have that going on for them, as well as a deeper gaming experience.
Evoland does the same thing, but with even more genres. And when I get my hands on Evoland 2, I expect the exact same Red Mage style gameplay.
