Maaaaaan I feel like I would almost really like this game. Though it's very clearly low-budget, the story seems promising, and the world/art/music are cool. Combat's at least acceptable.

The part that's mainly ruining it for me is that getting abilities and XP for the abilities requires you to do a little motion controlled gesture or minigame with the PlayStation controller to absorb the enemies when they're about to die... It's even worse than it sounds IMO, just way overused and feels awkward and uncomfortable.

Also don't like that they have you run through the same levels with two different characters. I get some people like that sort of thing, but I never have.

Maybe I'll hold out for the tiny chance this gets ported and has that motion control stuff stripped out. I'm sure many don't mind it, but it's just hard for me to look past how annoying that is.
