I recommend this game for when an update or remake/remaster fixes the engine issues it has.
Game could use a bit of polish but overall impresses for its time, showing genuinely interesting boss designs and inventive scenarios.
And man not to mention the Aesthetics, the style this game has is so unique and perfectly crafted to it's presentation.
To talk slightly about the story it's something akin to Drakengard meets Classic Zelda with the main characters being like Walter White?

Roy is a self absorbed asshole, who does asshole things "For the good of others".
And the world he lives in is filled with Fantasy world tropes that are "Just a bit fucked up"
This results in something that isn't wholly unique but is charming and interesting nonetheless.

(Fun fact: includes the FIRST appearance of Shovel Knight (Before his own game even))
