Backed this when it started, and haven't looked back since, even if I did have to reset my play time!

A classic card game set up into a simple computer game - not the most in depth, but a handy way to kill some time in the less typical corners of the grimdark universe of the future.

Cute and enjoyable, a nice throwback that doesn't call for hundreds of hours of grinding.

App to make playing the board game easier - invaluable for those purposes, but this *is* a support app, not a online version of the game.

I'm rarely one to object to a game on the basis of its concept, but this game rates an exception.

First off, on the gameplay, it's probably the shallowest idle game I've seen (and that's saying something, considering the genre). The only thing that really distinguishes it is the artwork.

The problem is, the artwork doesn't distinguish it in a good way. You see, all the monsters are sexy anime chicks! Who whimper, moan, cry out, and (understandably) object when you start smacking them around. For no real reason. And without any particular concern for what happens after they're... killed? Knocked out? Who knows!

Before even playing the game, I looked at the concept and felt a bit queasy. I played it for as long as I did primarily because I thought that maybe they were going to lampshade the problems I saw. But no, that would have taken effort to actually write flavor text of some description.

And, you know, a mentality that wouldn't include "800+ moans as you defeat the monsters" as a sales point.

Congratulations, developers. You've made the perfect example of what the Gamer Gaters decry in gaming - a mindless exercise in objectifying the female form, beating up women, and having zero concern for any sort of moral implications behind what you're doing. I... almost have to give you *credit* for how blatantly horrifying this game is to anybody who actually *thinks* about their entertainment.

And I don't know how to feel about that. Particularly since you clearly just took the most basic mechanics of the genre and slapped a "sexy anime chick" coat of paint over the top of it.

4/10 - technically, it doesn't utterly fail as an example of its genre, but I've got to dock it a couple points for the transparent lack of thought or effort put into it.

This is one of the classic JRPG's that helped create the genre as we know it. While it didn't have the Job system that Final Fantasy would eventually become famous for, everything else about the formula was in place.

While not the best Final Fantasy game (that honor goes to Final Fantasy VI), this is probably number two. This *is* a port of the DS version of the game, so it lacks the post-game megadungeon from the GBA version (unless somebody who's managed to beat the game wants to tell me otherwise), but it still has the updated translation and graphics.

If you like *any* Final Fantasy game, play this one. You owe it to yourself!

The best in the series so far, and that's from somebody who's played them all!
