Forgive me for the necropost here. But I just have to chime in.
Okay, so I got this now. It's really friggin' fun. I like the whole action-RPG feel, and the puzzles are fun. Beating the crap out of enemies after they're already dead is always satisfying (didn't know I had 32 soul shards just from the first dungeon).
The music's pretty good too, of course (aforementioned dungeon made me want to listen to The Very End, neko's phenomenal mix) and I'm enjoying it.
I have played a bit of the original SNES ones and a bit too much of RoL, but this is superior to RoL by far (like comparing a rotten apple that's been in a junkyard for 3 months to one of them thar mythologicamal golden apples) sooo...
I like it.
Once again, don't get mad at me for the necropost here.
