i played this thru steam, managed to get to the end but it was way more effort than it should have been. There are alot of glitches that mess up the playing experience. Some big ones that come to mind are:
the legendary blacksmith charges money before telling you that you dont have the necessary materials to craft a legendary item (he tells you what they are AFTER you pay the money). So you will continually lose money each time you attempt to get him to craft something, without getting anything in return.
Near the end, if you try to move to the right from the largest room in the castle, you will be forced to walk left, possibly into debris and freezing the game.
In the post game, I seem to have gotten stuck in the underwater dungeon with no way to escape.
I want to say this is different from some of the game design choices that are rather unconventional, for example removing the player's inventory without warning. While annoying, that mechanic makes sense in game and the player will have to adapt to the new situation. That's ok. Another interesting thing is that the game actually becomes somewhat open world once you get in the volcano. The game difficulty suddenly ramps up and you are left stuck in a volcano filled with powerful enemies. This can be quite intimidating and I almost quit at this point. But, once I escaped the volcano I had to explore everywhere to empower myself so that i can eventually tackle the main objective. And it was definitely possible to figure everything out. Without the major glitches and the sudden difficulty increases, this game is actually not too bad.
P.S. Putting a save point inside of a timed section is also very questionable. The first time i got unlucky and had tons of encounters, getting to that save point with about 2 seconds left on the clock so I couldnt save, and had to go all the way back when I lost to the final boss the first time.
Hello, I managed to play your game all the way to the ending and was impressed by that choice of twist. I decided it was right for me to write a review. It's a little long, but I think the extensive feedback would be beneficial.

Sorry you had a negative experience. Thanks for playing.
Thank you for letting me know about the bugs.
The underwater section is escapable with Yuri's "Shift" ability
