Kingdom's Return: Time-Eating Fruit and the Ancient Monster

This might well be Inti Creates' first outright bad game. The addictive mission format and its forward momentum is pretty much the only thing the game has going for it. Aside from the Inti staple of gorgeous sprite art, of course. The combat is incredibly stale, restrictive and repetitive, no matter which character you're playing. Movement feels incredibly stiff at all times. Level design is plain non-existent and since enemies seem to be placed at random there's no design intent to be found in that regard either. Bosses are competent at least - they're not good, mind you, just competent. The "city building" aspect meanwhile is outright ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, all you do in that mode is place down nodes that increase your stats based on the way you arrange them, even if what you build is complete nonsense - functionally it's a more convoluted version of a skill tree entirely comprised of minor stat bonuses. This game is essentially Dragon Marked For Death, but brainless and bad. What a mess. EDIT: Just finished it out of spite and I think I hate this game. What willfully lazy design. I understand that this was originally a mobile game, but my god, this is such unambitious, repetitive, bra…

Cute and easy game. :D

Game is awful. I expected a short side scroller and Inti Creates usually delivers, but this is boring, awful music. Art is okay. Actual combat is a bore, levels are short but you're interrupted with a stat screen every few minutes you complete one.

fun rpg were the battles are in the form of an action platformer. reminds me of Summon Night: Swordcraft Story but on a smaller scale. Its not realy a town management game the town is just a power up system like the crystals in Children of Mana were you have limited slots and choose do you want more armor or more attack.

Its a pretty fun game, but it really feels like "Dragon marked for death. but single player." It really feels like it was made for a group of people to play and you just... arent able to. would have benefitted from that a lot honestly.

The game simply wasn't fun to play. The gameplay loop was boring, and the city/base-building mechanics were bare-bones at best.
