Thoughts:

If you didn't grow up playing with early 90's 3D-platformers (like me), this game controls and camera angles are likely too rough to get a feel of. Super Mario 64 is like as far back as I can go for platformers in this generation. I had to stop playing as the camera angles were starting to make me feel sick.

Otherwise, this is CyberConnect's first entry in their cult-classic Japanese Kemono (furry) Little Tail Bronx franchise, which also has later games in the same connected universe with shared themes such as Solatorobo and Fuga: Melodies of Steel (Will post a full review). Each game plays completely differently and has a greatly different tone and feel.

From the presentation of this game, this clearly feels like a kid-friendly G-rated title. The game features extensive voice acting (though it's very cheesy) and even the "villains" are nothing more than mischievous bandits that only want to pull your leg at best. I mean, the main character's name is as silly as Waffle Ryebread. It's a very carefree game not to be taken seriously, like a 90's Saturday Morning cartoon.

A lot of the basic themes in this game such as the tension between dog & cat-people and the lore behind the giant human-created weapons of mass destruction are all explored much more in depth in Solatorobo (which also has direct cameos to Tail Concerto) and Fuga.
