One of the few 2.5D platformers I've played that felt like it was taking advantage of the perspective well. It's a really balanced difficulty, using your attack damage and health as the same resource to encourage strategy and back-attacks over brute force.

And like, Kirikou is a badass. This kid is less than a year old and he looks at his village, sees an evil witch causing problems, and picks up a dagger. Kid was born to get things done. I hadn't seen the film and a big joy of the game was seeing the lengths this kid would go to. He was an A-grade protagonist I'm not even joking!!!
