Didn't seem that interesting when I first heard about it. But after I heard the words "11 bit studios", my penis instantly got erect it popped like a balloon. I bought the game and played it. Gorgeous graphics, unique resource collecting and survival system, beats the shit out of you while making you love that beating at the same time, makes you feel genuine symapthy and makes you worried over the state of your city and its fate, very fluid and interesting story. It's basically everything I need.
And after a long time, I beat it through the spiritual path. Afterwards, I chose the iron fist path. And then did both again.
I strongly recommend this game if you like games from this genre.
