Just barely over the fence on a game that could have been so much more.

Cons
-------

6/10, hack and slash plat-former that could have been more, but feels like the developers got lazy somewhere along the way. Many of the items (relics) do not function as described and many of the attributes described for both relics and Arcana have a catch 22 depending on what type of enemy you're fighting. Another annoying caveot is that Relics that are dropped by enemies and left on the map do not come with a description. This is no problem if you are picking up a normal relic, but if it's cursed and can cost you your playtime and the game as it can severely weaken you. Would have been simple to add a description. Many of the bosses also seem extremely cheap, and to a regular gamer it will seem at times like the game is more rooted in luck than skill.

Finally it seems the better you play the harder the game becomes, setting you up to get right to the end and then get owned.

Pros
------

- Art Direction is sweet.
- Very addictive game play (even if at times it might make you want to rage).
- Many relics and spells keep things fresh and allow you to create a style of fighting all your own.
- Overall a very fun game, but a game of this type shouldn't be such a time investment just because of a few poorly written algorithms.
