Just finished a replay on my Steam Deck, this game still rules. Still plays great and has some of the best boss fights in the series. Halberds for life.

A difficult game to judge on a quantitative level, because the actual Rhythm Gameplay is so fundamental and at times feels like it barely functions that it's hard to recommend playing. But for everything that Um Jammer Lammy lacks in modern playability and polish, it makes up for with style, and what style it is. The music, the visuals, the voice acting, the story, is all so very charming. I absolutely adore this game.

splendidland is so very good at condensing specific feelings into all of her art. Franken perfectly surmises the classic RPG experience into a breezy hour and a half journey. The art is fantastic, whether that be adorable overworld sprites, the dialogue portraits which bring to mind Leiji Matsumoto's work, or the battle art, which is simultaneously intimidating and cute, and all of this is delivered in a style that is unmistakably splendidland.

The gameplay surmises the content of an RPG in a manner reminiscent of one of my favourite Game Boy games, For The Frog The Bell Tolls, and much like that title uses every mechanic it has as a vehicle for telling jokes and had me smiling the whole way through. Highly reccomend.

This game is like, peak kusoge. There are so many systems in this game, so much ambition, and all of it is terrible. Made at the peak of the Havok Physics Engine revolution of the 360 generation, everything in this game flops around and waggles. A horror game that completely fails to be scary at any point, it is a genuinely hilarious romp to go through right up until the final Episode of the game, where the game demands you arbitrarily burn down 50 tree roots before you're allowed to do the final chapter.
