Another Crusade

First of all, I like to say I had a great time with this game. I knew exactly what I was buying and it delivered. It's a linear, somewhat basic but cool rpg and exactly right up my alley.Had 20 hours that I enjoyed throughout This doesn't mean I have alot of critic that I hope (if theres a chance for a 2nd one one day) would make the game better. Starting off with the linear design I just mentioned, I personally enjoy it but there is quiet some "exploring" in this in...not the greatest designed dungeons. ESPECIALLY cause there is no map and the camera is quiet zoomed in My second issue is the gear. I adored the system that every weapon behaved different and had a great time learning the different patterns aswell as that all weapons look different. Was very sad that the weapons towards the end were just using the same patterns you had seen already, please stay with that idea. Also broke my heart that all armors don't change the skin of anybody, that is a HUGE thing for me to see some kind of progress Last point would be alot of small things that I don't think were great: that beeing: Completely random spots for some of the collect items that seem outright impossible to know witho…

The only reason I gave this a thumbs down is because of it doesn't have cloud save. RPG's like this needs cloud saves and unlike most steam games you can't even find the save data and back it up yourself. The game is pretty challenging too and I do like that about it but we need some way to back up our save data just in case somethings happens

Another Crusade is a turn-based role-playing adventure developed and published by by Dragon Vein Studios that blends classic RPG design philosophies with modern presentation and interactive combat mechanics. Built with clear inspiration from older console role-playing titles, the game embraces familiar genre foundations while adding enough personality and mechanical variation to avoid feeling like simple imitation. Through a combination of timing-based battles, colorful storytelling, and a world that gradually expands beyond its traditional fantasy beginnings, Another Crusade delivers an experience aimed directly at players who appreciate nostalgic RPG structure with newer design sensibilities. The adventure follows Rai Reysend and a growing cast of allies as circumstances pull them into a conflict much larger than expected. What initially appears to be a relatively straightforward fantasy journey slowly evolves into something far more unusual as hidden truths emerge and larger mysteries reshape the direction of the story. Rather than remaining strictly tied to medieval fantasy traditions, the narrative gradually introduces science fiction concepts and unexpected developments that…

A REALLY special little game. Battle system is tight (sometimes unforgiving, but never impossible, as someone who has 100%'d the achievements on Normal), the writing made me laugh many times, love the character, monster, and background designs... all the details really shows off the love these folks have for Super Mario RPG and the genre as a whole. Would definitely recommend it if you love SMRPG and that style of gameplay!

Two instant additions this game needs is a map with item locations on it and better timing window. I’m playing on easy and it’s still awful. Fix it and I’ll try this game again.

I want to love the game, really I do. I try to find the positives in all the games I play. A Super Mario RPG inspired game sounds awesome! But the further I get in, the more I'm turned off. Spoilers ahead. The timings are dreadfully tight even on normal mode. A missed opportunity would be to make you gain SP based on how well you time the attack, with miss being 1/3 an SP, great being 2/3 an SP, and perfect being an entire SP. At least then the tight timings would be somewhat justified and encourage you to learn them for a good reason, instead of the reason being "so the battle doesn't take 10 minutes." That's my suggestion in case the devs ever read a small time review like mine. I understand trying to balance the game around time hits is difficult, because you want to incentivize players to use them, but this is not it. Trying to grind levels is a slog. The EXP curve is vicious, as soon as you get a level in one area, it basically becomes obsolete to train in that area. Before I get some dude that's like "Nooo RPGs should be strategy not just leveling! That's boring!" First of all, there's no strategy in this game. It's nail the timed hits or die. Attrition =/= "strategy." Ef…
