This is an aberration. An atrocity. Words cannot even begin
to describe what rules of nature this game has decided to ignore.
It’s a game based on a property.
That’s good.
Can you believe it? The audacity to actually create a game
with a well thought out action command style rpg system. Utilizing button
prompts as your enemy attacks to defend yourself, or make your attacks stronger
when it is your turn.

The audacity to have a large variety of gear that one gives
an equally large variety of status effect to mix and match? Ranging from basic
armor to a variety of ways to improve your abilities against certain enemies,
or certain defense types, or to plagues your enemy with a host of different
status effects.

Even having the nerve to utilize a variety of status effects
and make them incredibly useful rather than being wastes of time that slowly
chip away at health when that turn you just wasted could have been used on
something far more powerful?
Even the allies seem well thought out, unique in their own
ways of how they aid you, each having an action that can be argued to have some
use in the grand scheme of battle. Hell, even stuns, something I’ve seen a
million times made completely useless in rpgs, are actually one of the most
powerful anti-non-boss enemy attacks in game.
A well-made game that’s based on a television series.
I never thought someone would have the audacity to break
such a sacred tenant of video game design, as to decide to make a good game
based on such a property.
Stick of Truth gets a proper creation out of what should
have been a convoluted mess.
