I'm really not a fan of the usual classic and retro style games, but this one is just beautiful.
It has a good looking retro style to it, the pixel style portraits look great as well.
However, what carries this game for me is the very good writing and the amazing music.
I genuinely enjoyed reading through the intro scenes and I found the individual characters to be very well written.
Combat is simple and pretty standard as far as I could tell so no big points from me here, but it is in line with the retro style.
The battlemusic though was an absolute banger so I did not mind fighting at all. You know you're doing something right in your game, when your player starts nodding their head to your game's music.
I also enjoed the little cameos I found and the Fight3Take3 reference had me giggle.
Once again I would say this could be an "official" game in its own right and you can clearly see someone knows what thy're doing.
