Besotted

The music for this game is fantastic, however there are two things about this game that need to be addressed quickly. 1. the time it takes for an attack animation and its actual damage to happen is way too long. Its nearly 4 seconds sometimes before the hit actually registers. 2. the random encounter rate is way too high. there is a promising start here, but that needs to be fixed pronto.

So far so good. Love the music

It's a super generic jrpg. Nothing outstanding, but it doesn't really claim to be.

About an hour in so far, the story is pretty cool, and I like the JRPG genre. However, the combat is REALLY slow and almost kills it. Battles just take too long to go (after attack lands, damage pops up way after), and I'm jamming buttons just to hopefully speed things up. I like the artwork and the music, but the battles need to go faster, or I can see myself losing interest before playing through.

Steam has given me the green light to review the game early, so here I am (for those questioning it, consider this your disclaimer). I've genuinely given this game a fair shot, and its story is finally getting interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFuCL7iDjj0

Honestly, I tried, I tried like hell to like this one. But it's pretty clear there's simply no effort made into play testing this thing and a lot of effort well be needed to get this anywhere near a salable state. Enemy strength values fluctuate, magic stats have no correlation to damage, level up screens glitch and simple animations like death states don't trigger. Bugs are everywhere and it's pretty damn clear developer needs to delist this one and focus on quality control for the next project. This isn't shovelware, but damn is it half baked, it's in a similar state to CP2077's release.
