This game is a joy to play! The sidescrolling action feels really fluid and the animation is beautifully done! Arcane Soul really gives me vibes like I'm playing Dust: An Elysian Tale (which was a fav game of mine!) The levels are short enough that it's the perfect length to play while I'm sitting and waiting, but I usually end up playing more than 1 level hahaha!
There is a paid VIP system in the game, but I haven't really felt a need to use it. Since it's an action game, I found that my skill will carry me through the game so far!
