ルナティックドーン 前途への道標 (2015)

Perfection. That's all I have to say.

This JRPG that reminds me of the Ultima series, the strategy and complexity of the systems working in the background really impressed me. I've been having a lot of fun with it, and fortunately there is an English translation pack that makes this accessible outside of Japan. Recommend! See my video below for gameplay at the beginning of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dUZV5i995k

Can't really think of other games where you can be a good chaotic nun that runs around wearing a fundoshi besides ecchi, hgames, and maybe Elona

If you're planning to play this game in English, you need a patch which is simple to install. This is an old-school JRPG, and it's a good way to get into these older style of games. It's not too hard and not too slow, but take your time if you do play it.

The UI and aesthetic here is delightful. While I understand the appeal to a game like this, the end result here is a little too aimless for me. Games with a similar freeform approach like Daggerfall or Mordor: The Depths of Dejenol give you a strong sense of progression and facilitate setting compelling goals for yourself as you play. This feels very "make number go up" in comparison and I have a hard time sticking to it, particularly when I'm having to interpret the machine translation at every turn. Critiques aside, if you're looking for an endearing RPG sim to sink into and don't mind making your own way, this is far from a bad choice, but there are certainly better options available.
