Just completed this game and all I have to say is wow, just wow. A basic fight through each map and move to the next level game like they've been doing since Mario. But, it has rich lore, beautiful art and progressively challenging stages. Sometimes I really thought there was no way to beat the level, but of course, there was always a way. A difficult yet not impossible game. The art blew me away, it was like reading a well done comic. Overall, thoroughly impressed and will now play the sequel.
