Finally getting around to playing this game. I know the HD rework is coming out, but it always seemed like a game you'd want to play in its original incarnation.
I'm maybe an hour into it. I've done 3-4 battles with the shadow creatures thus far. I'm enjoying the ride so far. I like how the combat is so simple. Basically a boy with a stick hacking away at shadow creatures he presumably doesn't know anything about. It doesn't come off as fluid combat at all. I like it, it really encompasses the desperate nature of the situation. I also like how the character actually moves like a little boy.
Definitely something I've been wanting to get around to playing for a VERY long time. I'm sure all of you have played this, so feel free to join in the discussion as I complete my journey.
