Feb. 2025
The Boys and I just purchased this game for $2 because we were all supposed to get together last night but one was feeling a little sick plus the weather was bad. So we compromised on buying this game and playing together online. It's very simple and we only played for 1.8 hours at this point, but we had a lot of fun dinking around with different characters, exploring the levels, and just noodling and having fun. It comes off as a basic build in today's world (though fairly complicated for a 2013 game), but it's actually pretty complex. We got all the way to the first main boss where we got DOMINATED. We look forward to our next play session and seeing where this goes. IF we continue to enjoy the game, we might end up playing our way down the full lineup of games. Final judgment: For $2, check this out. Make sure you have friends to play with as I feel this is very difficult solo. You will easily get your money's worth and then some.

So much fun to play with friends as you can see how different classes in a party perform and they can help you pick up coins which is very tedious to do on your own.

Great game. Simple, with no complicated mechanics. Good music. The atmosphere is great. It has a good amount of puzzles and secrets. Not too long which is great. It shows love in the making, this game deserves way more positive reviews.
