Fun, but requires good knowledge of old school games
I suppose it should have been obvious since the game is marketed as a tribute to old school games, but a lot of the game mechanics relies on knowledges learnt from famous RPG. For example, in one of the boss fight you have to reflect the enemy’s magical attacks in order to defeat them. This is a staple of a certain green clothed hero RPG, except this game has no tutorial or mini-games that teaches the mechanic to you. Instead, you are supposed to figure it out by yourself.
