About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a wildly unpredictable, gag-heavy fantasy comedy with demons, time tricks, and bursts of martial-arts action; Not for you if you need a clear, grounded plot or subtle humor like The Legend.
Pros: nonstop absurd humor; imaginative fantasy creatures; energetic martial-arts chaos | Cons: confusing story turns; uneven jokes for some; cheesy-looking sets
