I played it a while back (but I never beat it. Bad habit..), but it was a ton of fun. It's a Metroid-vania style action RPG similar to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I got maybe 50-70% completion before I stopped, and like Cobalt said, with I think 3 different types of magic, I was able to literally roll my fingers across the buttons and steamroll my way through enemies with their "combo" system. But there is also a hard difficulty setting I never played and I'm guess that strategy isn't as effective there.
It's worth playing if you like hack'n'slash games in my opinion.
