Second GOTM finished for January 2023. I'm not sure how I really feel about this game. There were parts that were astounding, like the artwork and the combat abilities. There were parts that were odd, like movement and character progression. Then there were parts that were frustrating, like the platforming and hitboxes. Felt like a combination of a top-down ARPG like Terranigma, with a side-scrolling brawler like Streets of Rage (intentional, so they nailed it). This is a unique game that didn't take too much time to beat, but also didn't stir anything within me.
