There's no clear direction other than "follow the glittering light until you hit an unbeatable boss battle, sucker", no real opportunity to grind, and you can only raise stats 1 point per stat per level, so, say, you want to use a certain sword that requires 15 strength and you only have 7: guess what? You need to grind until you have like 7,000 gold to raise those 8 levels, and now you're woefully underpowered in every other stat category because of it.
It's not even a pretty game either. I was lead to believe it was an extremely visually pleasing game, but the fact is it's really not.
I gave it like a 4/10. It's playable, but only if you're a fucking masochist
