It was nice having the ability to mix and match abilities to best fit your playstyle. Fortunately, currency to unlock new abilities is easy to come by, and I was able to add different perks from the other classes early in the game. The attack has a tricky lock-on mechanic and a dodge that teleports you that was tough to direct. However, both the mage’s attack and dodge mechanics were difficult to master. I normally prefer a more ranged approach, so I started with the basic mage abilities. After a brief tutorial, you can equip the fox with abilities from three different classes: mage (ranged), engineer (gadgets), and warrior (melee).
