    Players criticize the grinding in the game as excessively slow and frustrating, exacerbated by poor controls and a progression system that rewards dying and heavy grinding rather than allowing for smoother advancement. While some players eventually find a method to make sense of the grinding, many feel trapped by the necessity to grind early on, leading to a negative overall experience.

    • “But that's not the only reason why I cannot recommend this game, as it has a really strange progression system that rewards heavy grinding and dying instead of moving through earlier stages quicker.”
    • “Once I realized this, I am a bit farther in and now all of a sudden the grinding and farming I would have benefited from makes sense, but I am stuck and cannot go back.”
    • “The only way to not do this is by grinding in the beginning.”

  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story has potential for engagement, but repetitive dialogue due to frequent deaths detracts from the experience. While the narrative is somewhat coherent, it may not be enough to keep players invested, especially in a genre where story is often a secondary focus.

    • “I know this doesn't affect gameplay much, but part of the reason I play some silly platformers is because there's a story attached, and it's fun to read through to see to the end, as cliché as they may be.”
    • “But hey, at least the storyline kinda makes sense!”
  • graphics

    • “The walls are lined with portraits of Zelda, Link, and King Harkinian in their classic CD-i art style.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor aspect in the reviews is primarily focused on the amusing experience of button mapping on the controller, which users find consistently quirky and entertaining.
