It's very good designed game. Raiding stuff and avoiding ust great concept. Frankly it's not copy of helltaker - I was afraid it would be. Art is good but sometimes too much sexy fanservice in my opinion. Fantasy of mechanics girls is great and ghosts ads spice. Music is good but not that banger as it was in Helltaker. My only problem is difficulty curve on last levels. It's breaks to unbelievably level of frustration when you die hundreds of tries. Game is impossible on hard difficulty at the end. Game could benefit from longer gameplay to learn and enjoy design - and difficulty could be changed by manipulating speed of events instead just giving more time or infinity time and additional life. Easy is boring. Normal is so so. Hard is best but too much unforgiving at end.

Animation is just god tear. Great style and you can see all the animators hand drawn raw lines. It's also uses some tricks to not animate everything so only strong scenes last. Very well done D&D campaign, so what could get wrong? Story unfortunately is not that great, it's very plain characters are flat and even beautiful drawings can't save it. It's D&D - very infesting only if you play it and decide what to do but if you watch it it's kinda boring and escalate very absurdly. What's missing in my opinion is character development and focus on relations - that could build an energy and story could be less epic but still very interesting in fantasy world. Those missions and problem of kingdoms with 3rd plane characters add unnecessary layers in story and that's why it escalate to much with characters we don't care. I mean they have some value but with correct use.

Even the low rated reviews say the show is dark - so it means something! ;) Great montage, use of music and filters makes this show very unique and stand out. Presented story is layered with great respect to audience - you have clues but not obvious explanation. Some threads are unexplained at all and for me it's great in building mystery. People have problem with narrative - I think it's because of not definitive hero and not linear plot (time jumps - of course there is text explaining it each time) which is again a great way of show mystery and unsettling situations from different perspectives. Boogiepop have this "2000-anime" loss of quality in terms of animation but not very drastic - that's not action movie but philosophical take on human weaknesses, so come on. For me - show has only one downside - it has not a narrative loop that could close a series. I think people are little disappointed at the end because show does not add the meaning of every character to the main story/ situation, it should be all more connected than it is.
