Quote:

Players get four “ratio” points to use in each round of battle. Dorothy and Scarecrow cost one, Cowardly Lion costs two, and the Tin Man costs three. One’s gotta figure out what’s best to do. Only characters acting during that round can be attacked, but everyone gains the same amount of EXP at the end of the battle, even if they don’t do anything in the battle. At first it might seem like the player chooses turn order, but battle participants act in order of agility (the scarecrow will always go first, for example). Worth note is that each character is strong against a certain type of enemy.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

When I'd played it for the preview (beat the Yellow Brick Road and first witch), I was still going strong and the game was alright.

But after a while, certain things got on my nerves and some sloppy game design choices/oversights became more and more noticeable. It added up to a below average experience.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I love a bright and cheery atmosphere.

I feel it's better when it can actually be explored, though.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
