While its lore, characters and art style have a certain charm it never really succeeds in properly blending its two styles of play.

Its platforming and combat aren't at all satisfying and its tower defense gameplay adds up to little more than mindless spamming. I can't speak on the co-op as I played it solo. But I can't really see this game improving with a friend as there are plenty of moments of downtime that drag on maybe a bit too long.

I find myself respecting the title for a solid attempt at a unique idea. It really did start off promising and got me excited for what was to come. But that doesn't change the fact that I didn't really enjoy my time with it overall and was happy to see the credits roll. I would say sadly this is a disappointing skip.
