So boring I couldn't even make it two hours in.

The visuals are good, the music fits, combat has customization options and viable variety, and I'm glad the resources came together to realize this indy project. There's stuff to like about this game, and I'm glad other people do, I'm just not one of them.

The game wears its references on it's sleeves, almost to the point of feeling like cliche instead of homage; the plot requires characters to 'teleport' into places they shouldn't be to advance the story (a lot of authorship contrivances imo,) subplots are just "resolved" with a line of dialogue, and some moments outright lack character reactions to the things happening. As other reviews have written, the ending does a disservice to the game, and leaves the overall experience a 'mid' if not disappointing feelings.

Player movement can snag on open terrain giving a false impression of a secret to find -- I spent a lot of time on that.

Later parts of the game dump too many copies of obsolete gear on the player, and those could have had partial upgrading and/or crystals already slotted into them since gear is otherwise just linear upgrades.

Some characters should have had a player party slot, or a bigger involvement in the plot and are instead sidelined further reducing player-engagement interest the few characters interactions are there.

And while the crystals seem an interesting option, there's too many types doing too little to be more than rng fluff.

This game experience flies high, so the barbs snag that much harder compared to other projects not as well-realized as this one and I tend to be more influenced by negative snaps than the positive peaks.

Just a fantastically crafted RPG. The menuing can get a bit tedious and clunky, but that's literally my only complaint about this great game.

Decent game, but ending was lackluster and left a bad taste in my mouth.

one of the best turn base rpg i have ever played

Absolute Cinema

For any classic RPG fans, this is a great game with a good story.

100/100

If this game were released on the super nintendo. It'd be the goat of that system.

Beautiful pixel art. The story's twist and flow is well-written. The mecha battles are fun and I think adds variety to the battle experience. Overall 10/10

I'm really surprised to see nobody talking about how a huge amount of the theming, characters and plot devices are almost perfectly ripped from Final Fantasy 12. There are many other inspirations in the game from other final fantasy games too. Early in the game you break into a palace to steal a gem via the city's underground sewer system, and you run into a thief on the run from bandits; shockingly familiar. Later on, and this is where I stopped, you get taken prisoner aboard an airship where you escape death specifically on the scaffold of the airdship before going to rescue the princess who's being held in the central cell of a 6 cell room, oh and right next the that cell is a merchant who's been following you around. the pig like characters are modeled after the Seeq from ffxii and the lizard characters are clearly Banga, the one that looks shockingly similar to B'gamnan is named Ba'thraz.

So, Zero originality and the rails that the game puts you on is terrible, you don't get to explore anywhere, you just get turned around by the main character saying "that's the wrong way"

Sorry, I really wanted to like it, but you completely ripped off and bastardized my favourite game of all time
