When you try to make your way through small passages you get blocked until you see what is going on.

The isometric perspective makes it hard to see if you can pass trees or not. It's good at times that the player is a bit limited in their movements, like in the good old gems. I still think that a controller makes the player feel much comfortable than using a virtual stick, but this also makes it a challenge to predict enemy movements because you can't roll or dash into any other direction. I haven't found mine yet, but am happy that players can choose. You can choose between different control settings. The only "bad" points about this game are the controls and the visuals at the beginning. If this is still not enough you can also do some NPC beat 'em up. Want to be Link, Super Mario, or Bomberman?

Personally, I would prefer to save as I go along rather than relying on checkpoints, but that just adds to the overall challenge of the game. If I had to find one gripe it would be the checkpoint function. Don't get me wrong I haven't found anything groundbreaking or anything I haven't seen before, but there is a certain charm that I find hard to ignore. I'm not usually fond of pixelated graphics in games, but it just seems to fit right here.

I put a bit of time into this and I must say I'm enjoying it quite a lot.
