Style + Addictive - Goes Flat
I like this style very much! The atmosphere is great, the music fits the game very well, the style is cool.
I played until level 14-15, I don't know exactly. The game is very easy and flat in the first levels, but then it gets suddenly harder. The falling stones just get my nerves! I stopped playing at the level when after passing 3 enemies and some falling rocks you meet with that giant. I always die, that lap is so frustrating.
I miss variety so much in this game. I think you could should have created more types of enemies, I find quite boring to kill always that 2-3 kinds of fighters. The levels I've played so far were very similar, too.
Anyway, I found the story a bit strange. There is the future king, who does nothing but forces the main character to be his wife plus kill his enemy and do all the dirty stuff. Somewhat interesting, but not very motivating.
To summarize, it's a very cool-looking, stylish game with addictive atmosphere, but the lack of variety and the sudden frustrating levels make it somewhat flat. On the other hand, the medals are a good idea, which more or less trying to balance this flatness.
Overall: 8
