great game with funny characters, that also manages to be serious enough for it to be enjoyable. just a generally great vibe at all times! pit is a funny and sweet protagonist, dark pit is such a nice spin on "evil doppelgängers" and palutena is a very lovable companion/leader. even the characters that aren't part of the main cast are great and enjoyable!

my main problem with the game are the controls though. i did die quite a couple times seemingly out of nowhere, with my healthbar dropping from 100% to 0% without even an indicator as to why. i also did experience hand cramps thanks to how the game controls. as for the controls, they are smooth while in the air but a bit sloppy on ground. i dashed off too many edges on accident because running and walking are basically the same button.

i do still hope this game gets a sequel or even a remake one day. i'd like to see more of those characters and hopefully with the controls being adjusted!

all 8 routes are really good, but i especially fell in love with how the villain was introduced in the last route. the individual routes never felt too long and i felt like i was really accomplishing something in a short period of time, while also growing attached to all the characters in the limited time i got with them. the only thing i wasn't a big fan of was the gameplay, which made me drop the game at the very end and watch the ending on youtube. some battles and routes felt pretty easy and some felt way too hard. it's an interesting battle system, but interesting doesn't always mean good
