REVIEW After 100% — "Kotama & Academy Citadel"

Описание: "Kotama & Academy Citadel" is a perfectly-paced, 20hr-ish metroidvania experience by Atomstring Games, a Chinese studio of about 15 core devs.

The game has meaty combat, solid progression systems, some deep world-building, and a little not-overbearingly-done fanservice.

I'm not an anime person, but I've had a great time with this one.
