This is a phenomenal experience, especially in couch coop. I bought it for 11 euros including the DLC and it‘s worth every cent.

- great design
- nice gameplay
- motivating
- cool music
- funny characters

It feels like a mixture of an old 2D-Zelda game and Super Mario Odyssey with all the different transformations.
I highly recommend this game if you can play it with a friend! ❤️

## Edit after beating NG+ and 100% ##
Well, I sort of got addicted. I love this game! The deeper you dive, the better it gets. Building whacky builts or just crushing through a dungeon with zombie familiars etc. is so fun to do.
This COULD be my GOTY already! ♥

I love metroidvanias, so I picked this game up because it was on sale, the trailer looked nice and it only costed 3 euros.

Uh, and because I liked Skul: The Hero Slayer, which was published by NEOWIZ too.

What can I say?
- the graphics and design are cool
- the music gives a nice atmosphere
- the story exists, but I didn‘t care
- it‘s fun to explore and move through the world
- the bossfights are good
- the difficulty is easy-medium for advanced metroidvania players

It‘s a nice game total and I‘d call it a lite-version of Hollow Knight, which is my favourite game of all time.
So if you liked that, I think you‘re gonna have a great time. Just wait for it to be on sale.

There are certain aspects to the game that I really like:
- building your camp
- helping pals that you can assign to tasks
- fighting and capturing
- interacting with a variety of pals (as mounts, weapons, etc.)
- relaxing atmosphere and gameplay

However, the game‘s current, technical state is worrying and according to videos, the developers don‘t continue to work on their Early Access-titles, eg. Craftopia.
So I could play this on Game Pass and it was more or less free, but if I had paid 20+ euros for this game, I wouldn‘t have been satisfied.

Why?
- tons and TONS of glitches
- empty open world
- no story, dialogue or interesting locations

For instance, there is a small town in a desert area. 60% of NPCs are glitched under the surface and no dialogue whatsoever makes any sense.

- many copied elements, that don‘t always work
- not many things to apart from running around and capturing pals
- coop-gameplay on Xbox only works, if the creator of the world starts the game
- only XP-grind is capturing pals as in Legends Arceus
- pals don‘t do anything in the wild, they‘re just standing around in places
- …

So, there are immense, technical downsides to the game. It‘s still a funny mix, as it as a lite-version of ARK, but it could‘ve been a gamechanger for the whole genre. Maybe some other company learns from it and gives us a game like this. As long as it is not Ubisoft…
