From the aesthetic I wasn't expecting the difficulty of an old-school RPG, but that was definitely a bonus - most games in this vein just let you mash attack to get through, actually using skills and items is always nice. The music can be a little grating sometimes, but the town theme and boss battle theme were A+!
Graphically, I LOVE it, the 4-color Game Boy-esque theme, the cute faces and sprites were super charming.
Overall, what can I say? It's a cute game with a cute story!
