Bastard Bonds

Actually great RPG experience, still haven't seen any sex scenes yet

Didn't understand the mechanics at all. Very unintuitive, couldn't make any progress so I gave up.

"Hey hey people, Seth Here..." Jokes aside, this game surprised me, the combat is simple yet addicting, exploring feels nice and challenging. I really enjoyed the characters and I would honestly say that this is a solid rpg game.

Simple yet elegant mechanics that create surprisingly tactical combat. My favorite part of my first playthrough was having gay sex with a ghost. On my most recent playtrhough, I noticed that instead of the regular "Recruit" dialogue option when recruiting one of the early-game beefcakes, the option reads "I want you." This game scratches my nostalgic itch for Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and improves on the experience with all the shirtless men. Lots of lore and world-building is done with the environment design and makes the world feel more alive. Note: I switched from PC to Mac since buying this game, so I've been re-playing the game on a borrowed Steamdeck. I have two complaints about the transition. First, the commands for R1 and L1 are inverted from right-click and left-click. Second, it really strains my hand to hold the button for taking reckless actions in combat. There is an in-game option to have that triggered by holding down the click/trigger instead, but the downside is you can't easily change your mind, but save my hand this is how I play now.

An excellent game, great art style, fun combat, and interesting lore.

... you can softlock... the tutorial. ... ??? if you use the ordinary key on the wrong door and can't learn the spell, you just have to restart from the beginning, it would seem. this is... not told to you at all.
