About this game
Luca and her uneasy counterpart must find their way through a quarantined city torn apart by an interdimensional catastrophe. You move through connected ruins, choose routes through the city and fight enemies with attacks that extend from the ground into the air. Combos and juggling are part of the combat, alongside encounters with bosses. Exploration develops as you discover weapons and unlock upgrades that make previously inaccessible areas reachable. Choosing where to go and expanding your arsenal therefore feed into the same journey through the city. Hand-drawn animated characters appear against three-dimensional environments, giving the ruined setting a distinct mix of illustration and spatial scenery.

Nintendo Switch 2AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A promising fit for players who want aerial combo combat woven into route-based exploration.
Ground and aerial combinations suggest an action system worth exploring through positioning and attack sequences. Upgrades that open routes give that combat growth a second purpose, making the design particularly relevant to players who enjoy connecting new abilities with new places.
Strengths
- Juggling and aerial attacks offer room to experiment with how an encounter unfolds.
- Progression can feel tangible when new equipment also changes which areas you can reach.
Weaknesses
- Players who want unrestricted exploration may find equipment-gated areas constraining.
Who it is for: Players drawn to combo practice, boss encounters and gradually opening an interconnected map.
