I rarely come across a game I love throughout such as this, last possible example being TWEWY (The World Ends With You), but Everhood has truly become one of those games that I'd probably always recommend to people willing to experience it.
The gameplay itself shares some similarities with Undertale but I'd argue this game is almost an older brother of it, both share roots in theme and style, but I would confidently say both stand strongly on their own merits, me personally favoring Everhood over Undertale. It took what Undertale presented and flipped everything to present a far more somber tone, the idea that there are some necessary evils in the world and sometimes the player must do horrible things for the right reasons.
The playstyle is set on a grid of 5 rows, and the enemy shoots projectiles in time with the song playing while you dodge the the attacks. A very simple playstyle that progressively gets harder as you get further into the game.
The music, being a strong factor in the fighting sections of the game, carry a strong style for every character and you'll always come across a new character/boss with a style of their own. With the music being a part of the fight, you certainly tend to remember them a lot more than normal RPGs.
I just want to present this game to anyone curious and see if anyone who has played this game has anything to say about it. I honestly want to talk a lot about it but I know too well that feeling of being overly excited about a thing no one cares about and left to myself just feeling like people are missing out on a very fun game
If I had to pick a single fight out of context it'd probably be this:
