"My body is a temple... And you just stepped in with your shoes on."

been waiting a while for this one, and it came out really good! but it's a little underbaked in some areas. if you're anything like me the gameplay mechanics probably caught your eye (superstar saga turn-based combat with warioware minigames and rhythm heaven elements), and it feels pretty dang good to play overall, but the balancing is inconsistent and honestly kind of frustrating at times. for example, there are 3 different types of minigames that play for your regular attack at random, two of them are a bpm based minigame where you have to tap in time with a prompt and it gets faster as you keep going, and the third where a cursor slides past a damage meter, like a lot of other turn-based games. this third attack seems to do the most damage, however, like i said the minigame you get is random. on top of this, the protagonist can be weaaaak in a lot of fights and his skills aren't usually worth using either due to damage outputs which means you'll have to rely on your party member to do all the heavy hitting, which is probably a big factor of why this game has such a steep difficulty curve in later chapters, especially if you don't feel like killing every enemy you encounter (though you can reduce different difficulty aspects in the settings, which is a nice feature)

overall knuckle sandwich is a peculiar experience that reminded me why i love this medium of game development so much. its not a perfect game by any means but it has a nice visual style, a lot of laugh out loud moments and a great soundtrack to boot that make it memorable. so yeaaa i reccomend it if you're into rpgs or quirky indies #swag...
