Not a fan of magic and allergic to cats. I guess I'll have to pass on this one.
Timing? Is that Grandia-style timing or Gladius-style timing? I.e., is this one of those games where you have to pass player skill tests for every action, or not? Not that I should care, I suppose, since it's yet another game with no Linux support. I guess the Steam-inspired Linux support era has ended, by Steam's own Proton program, no less.

edit: after finally watching the videos, I see this is one of those "press button at this random point in the animation for success" games. No thanks. Sorry for even placing Gladius in the same boat as this low-quality action game.

I liked Legend of Dragoon's combo system and Shadow Heart's Judgment Wheel. Not too many others did it right.
So, any clue why it's currently rated so low here? It's all ratings without any comment, so more or less completely meaningless, but still...

Over on Steam the current opinion appears to be exclusively positive with the exception of a religious fundamentalist dipshit warning of apparently very mild LBGT themes.

That's not usually a problem here, so pixel art haters?

Honestly it's more likely to be because of people not liking how Humble Games pushes LBGT themes than it's because people hating pixel art.

Honestly just ignore the global score on GoG. Wait for score from people who actually bought the game.
