This game is a beautiful exploration through time, no pun intended with the theme of Duskfade. I felt like I was reliving the era of platformers I loved, such as Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank, etc. All this with a lovely touch of Kingdom Hearts, which I'm a big fan of. So for that alone, thank you Weird Beluga. To talk a little about the story, it's nice, simple at times, but you can feel that as the adventure progresses, you're heading towards a larger universe, a larger plot which I hope will be explored in other games or DLCs. Let's get to the heart of the game: the gameplay. Fight is fairly basic, sometimes even a bit random and not very complex. There are certainly things that could be improved to make the sword strikes feel more natural, but it's not a major issue. Aside from a few bosses, you rarely die in this game. The jumping feels a bit floaty, if I can put it that way; it's disorienting at first, but the entire level design revolves around it, so you get used to it pretty quickly. The RPG-style upgrades add character progression, but I would have liked to see a few more different options. Graphically, there's nothing to say, it's incredibly beautiful and stands out from other games, and I'm in love with the sky box, it's really the highlight of the game! They've added some nice costumes and Keyblade colors to unlock that are cool, often referencing something. In short, give it a chance, it's a very good game.
