It was kind of random, but I guess they had to leave room for more ball busting goodness.

It seemed like the power corrupted Nessa somehow and I'm pretty sure that they will make a sequel since they ended in a cliffhanger.

Me too have been a little disappointed. The Wheel Sword have fought their way mainly for Nella and the she betrayed them all. So sad.

The main problem that I had was the lack of leadup to the event. It kind of seemed like an afterthought. To be fair, it's not like the game had much in the way of story anyway.

Well..thats true :) but even with the little story the game have it feelded disapointing, illogical and...unfinished.
Maybe we will get a adon soon ;)

Utter truth. The story is averge, at best, but the worst thing is that finale.
Let's hope for a dlc or a sequel with an improved storyboard ^__^

I finally got to the end & it just seemed a bit out of place. At no point in the game does Nella ever hint at having her own agenda. I suppose it is vague enough to be left wide open for interpretation. Did she really intend to take Lockshy's place or was it a surprising result?

For me the bigger gap is her missing contract and how she learns of the city and its machinery; all of that is left unexplained.

If you notice - you don't actually take the last bits of Lockshy's health before the game ends ..... i reckong Lockshy uses Nella's contract as a component for a soul swap / possession spell and in fact the 'Nella' that suggests destroying the device is in fact Lockshy.

He does state before the fight that they are intertwined.
