I bought this last week on release day (I went for the Switch version) and I'm really enjoying it. Played about 13 hours so far. It has really high-quality Neo-Geo-ish graphics, but with Chrono Trigger-type gameplay. Great music too. One of the best games I've played this year, so definitely check it out if you like turn-based RPGs.

I finished it today, took me about 24 hours. Really enjoyable from start to finish, and the story is great and full of surprises.

The Switch version struggles with the framerate in some spots, such as Docarri Village and late-game stuff. Gets pretty choppy. I wonder if it is smooth on the PS5/XBX?

Pro-tip for the credit roll: hold A to fast-forward (or A+R to go "ultra" fast). For some reason they decided to list all of the kickstarter backer names, which would probably take 10-15 min to go through without the fast-forward. There is no indication on the screen that you can fast-forward, I just found out by pressing all the buttons in frustration.
