It also gets pretty tricky...the later battles really force you to use every skill your character has. I'm near the end of the game and sometimes when I fail a battle (no penalty for fleeing or losing) I need to sit there for a minute and think about how to tackle the enemy again.

The story is doled out in small bits over the course of the game and meant to be more of a background mystery than front and center of the game. If you enjoy games that emphasize atmosphere then this is a great one to check out.
One more thing to add for this game since I tried the post-game stuff yesterday. If you like Hollow Knight's path of pain or the pantheon fights, then Worldless' post-game will intrigue you. If you're like me, you'll just nope out real fast. It's extremely hard and time consuming! Good thing it's optional.
