Reviews

“The game features a unique art style that blends traditional Japanese art with modern design elements. The game’s environments are highly detailed and feature a variety of environments, including forests, temples, and caves. The character designs are also highly stylized, with fine proportions and intricate detailing.The colors used do not tire the player visually, thus prolonging the hours of play. They also make possible traps placed on the ground clearly visible, for example, thanks to the contrast between the background and the ground. The right balance makes the gaming experience pleasant.”
