The game is NOT COMPLETABLE off cart. There is also a bug that can cause problems for EPILEPTIC PLAYERS.
A few things first, controls were responsive no input lag, and performance was not too much of a problem. There was pop-in and constant framedrops in the Main area, but it did not impede with the gameplay too much, combat areas had better performance and were more than playable on NORMAL.
In chapter 2, an invisible chest was discovered, upon opening the invisible chest the character turned invisible, once we saved and reset the game the character model returned.
In chapter 4 after completing the bathhouse quest, alot of the character models in the world were replaced by static white silhouettes, resetting the game fixed the issue temporarily but it would come back after a while. This affected roughly 30-40% of all NPCs.
Upon entering the Groaning Grotto dungeon in world 5 the game glitches. ** EPILEPSY WARNING** THERE IS BRIGHT GREEN RED BLACK FLASHING LIGHTS in the first cutscene.
Finally, when you reach the Groaning Grotto boss in world 5 game Crashes to home-screen at the start of fight after cutscene plays. We could not find a workaround. For the tester, there is no way around the crash. It was gamebreaking.
