DisturbedSwan Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I played through both characters' stories in the demo earlier. Preferred Primrose by far, thought her story was much more original and darker than the Knight's, but the Knight's was still pretty good all the same. I've no idea how it'll play out in the full game, I got the impression you play through each story and then they all converge at some point? But maybe you just choose a character at the start and that's that as you say, I've no idea, definitely an intriguing prospect. Absolutely adored the art-style, although it was a bit more 16-Bit and less 32-Bit than I expected, but yeah, it works really well and some of the dark areas with the lighting look staggeringly lovely. The battle system is cool, it felt similar to Child of Light to me, always kept you involved and thinking ahead to get a break on certain enemies. Was tougher than I thought too, the boss at the end of the Knight's Chapter I had to retry about 3-4 times as he kept one-shotting me, had to use a ton of potions to get past the bosses on both story path's too.

radiofloyd Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 Think I’ll go digital with this, just to have it on day one. Otherwise I’d have to wait at least a week for it to come in the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiofloyd Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 I’m surprisingly psyched for this, but I just remembered that I’m going travelling this weekend so I won’t be able to play it until Sunday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
