In fact, I had no idea what was going on mostly. Something about a god and the beginning of a/the world or some other shit. You explore and uncover the map and get further and further as you pick up new abilities, a la a Metroid game. The game world itself is quite small but there's still a fair amount of trudging back and forth which, without decent fast travel, can get tiresome. The onscreen map itself is also a little awkward in that it only shows a dot for a room or area and roughly how it is connected to anotgher room or area - so you could have a dot on the map representing several actual game screesn horizontally and vertically. There are some decent platforming sections and you do get a nice feel of progression. Combat is different to your usual games of this type. Again, you unlock new abilties and weapons etc, but there are a set number of encounters spread across the map so you don't have rooms full of little enemies. This is partly due to the turn-based nature of the fights. The mechanics themselves are sound, but can be cumbersome - there are parries, counters and perfect blocks, all of which don't feel very responsive or fluid enough which can lead to frustration. And there are a few frustrating encounters that almost had me quitting. And I haven't even properly finished the game - just the standard ending. I am missing one piece of a puzzle that I assume/understand unlocks possibly the proper end boss but I can't be arsed to trudge around looking for it. Overall, worth it if you have a spare 6-12 hours (depending on how much you want to find) and nothing else to play. Otherwise, there are better games to play but this is by no means bad. Just not that good. [7]
