   - Metroidvania.
   - Solid story, you need to read and understand it better.
   - You can go back and forth in time, exploring the same areas.
   - Chilling game.
   - Graphics.
   - Music resembles Castlevania.
   
   Cons.:
   - At some point, the game becomes EXTREMELY easy. it's not really good for this genre.
   - I beat the game never using the time stop (except when it was a must). This feature is almost useless.
   - The story could be more developed.
   - Needed to develop more mechanics.
   
   So, I can see the potential. However, the developers didn't fulfill everything.… Expand

Excellent pixel art graphics, plays well, the setting and story are interesting, the map is well designed and it's just overall fun to play.
   The cons: Don't like much the combat system (although the "orb mix" is a nice idea), the backstep is kinda unresponsive and sometimes is just better to get hit and keep going, instead of lose time fighting some annoying enemies. Bosses sadly are nothing special. Also, and this is the worst flaw, the "vanilla wow style" fetch quest are ATROCIOUS and a huge detriment on my enjoyement of the game.
   All things considered, it's a very good take on the metroidvania genre.… Expand

   It's a competent game... but that's really all it has going for it. Competent doesn't save it from being easy, repetitive, and unengaging. ItIt's a competent game... but that's really all it has going for it. Competent doesn't save it from being easy, repetitive, and unengaging. It basically borrows its metroidvania identity and doesn't fully flesh out its own identity (outside of its mundane story).
   
   This game will stand on its own due to its the community of people that identify with the game, and the development of features such as randomizers.… Expand

It copies SOTN and Order of ecclesia to the point of being a complete and utter ripoff, also it's hardly a challenge... There is just nothing interesting about this game, I could've said that the story is interesting, but there is almost no story(and the story that is in the game is in the form of text that you have to read and this is a METROIDVANIA GAME...)
   Final score is AVOID.… Expand

   Graphically its very well done, but nearly all of it falls short of its potential.
   
   The comparisons made to SotN are understandable butGraphically its very well done, but nearly all of it falls short of its potential.
   
   The comparisons made to SotN are understandable but misplaced. In SotN you get a whole huge castle to explore while in this, its basically one level, connected to another with a very long hallway. Time traveling is between the past and the present. The one section you showed is probably one of only 3 separate occasions where time travel is needed or utilized. This is one of the biggest problems with the game, you have too many undeveloped gameplay features. You can stop time, you have different orbs, you travel through time on occasion, you have up to 3 different pets. You can level up items. All of it is shallow, and all of it is unbalanced. Nearly every boss after the first one is a gigantic push over because of how OP you become early on. You might have several orb types but there isn't any real reason to ever switch from the first 3 you get. Since you only have one level that you explore twice because of the two time frames, the game is over (about 5 bosses defeated) in less then 3 hours.
   
   Finally, and this is more of a personal issue, the ham-fisted identity politics of the game ruin it as well. There is a character you talk to through out the game that turns out to be a trans person, and this reveal is a bonus for 100 percenting the game. Yes, you're reward is not a new item or power, it's someone's gender identity. You may also notice that nearly everyone in this game is brown, however the main villain is a white guy. The other villain is a woman, who after you defeat her is allowed to live despite the lore stating she at this point was basically a warmonger. Also she is a lesbian and her lesbian love triangle is what causes the war of planets, and this too is revealed in the journal entries. By the way, all the lore text and journal entries are high school level in writing and composition, it's frankly embarrassing.
   
   By that point i had myself played through too much of the game to warrant a refund on steam, but I can still tell others to steer very clear of this one, its not worth your time. Play Order of Ecclesia instead.… Expand
