God is a GeekLyle CarrMay 20236.5/10Chronicles of 2 Heroes: Amaterasu's Wrath has some great ideas and tasty platforming, but the difficulty will put some people off.

NintendoWorldReportZachary MillerAug 20236/10The underlying switching mechanic is strong and most of the platforming is solid in theory. It feels like this one needed more time in the oven, but a more refined version–or a sequel left to gestate–would probably provide a great time. As it stands, Chronicles of 2 Heroes is a mildly frustrating experience that I had to convince myself to keep playing for this review.
