Despite both characters pretty much being identical to each other and the basic structure of the game being incredibly simple, the fighting feels so good and the art is so pretty that it's incredibly hard to put down.
Thank goodness they got rid of that awful item system in Odin Sphere, too.
Act 2 with Momo, 3 with Kisuke.
My only real beef so far is that the translation seems to leave a lot of things, well, untranslated. I also wouldn't have minded jump being mapped to a button, but I'm getting used to it. The only time that's been a problem so far was a really long vertical path on Kisuke's story where you have to fight enemies.
Question, though: Does dying have any repercussions? And do you get anything cool from those challenge rooms?
