It really is a "love it or hate it"-sort of game. The inventory system is annoying, the combat can get a little repetitive, and there's often some slowdown when facing bosses, but I liked it nonetheless for doing something new with the old, tired beat 'em up genre.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
