9th Dawn Remake

Wow, this is huge and solid. I am playing solo so far, enjoying it with mouse and keyboard on a PC and also with a controller over steamlink to a macbook. I am already planning for multiple playthroughs due to the depth of the character development. I love finding game series like this. I really wish I could spectator view the first-person on a separate screen while playing in 2.5D..

Great game really fun Its like a game within a game it has mini games that also play like their own games which is really fun as well and its a interesting RPG game as well with a world to explore great to play with friends and family.

honestly first 2 hours this game is great I love the first person perspective, I do wish capturing was still a thing from the third game, but with better capturing like necromancy because i love getting strong enemies and using them to fight other enemies. I am excited for the next game.

I played this game for awhile and I think it's fun. But it definitely has some glaring issues that make this a game most people will not like. The game is extremely poorly balanced. In no particular order - the mini games stink. They don't respect my time as a player. I don't need to do them, but also, kind of need them for upgrades (money needed for end game upgrades). - the game advertises x amount of creatures, but in reality, you have like 5 base creatures and then each one has five or so individual evolution trees. At the end of the game the "final evolutions" leaves maybe about 25 choices out of everything because of stats, etc. -early game is good. Mid game and late game. No. - dev said, iirc, that defense at max can cut half of the damage. Meaning it's ultimately a nearly useless stat. - bows are unstable due to particle effects preventing any real sort of aiming late in the game. Meaning dexterity is a pointless stat. - aiming is done top down perspective, from what I can tell, so you constantly aim and miss, because you have to adjust for the 2.5d perspective. - the particle effects make it so the only viable combat is wands, and aoe magic. - no way to kn…

This game is super casual compared to other loot-heavy ARPG. There's a lot of grinding but so far I've found the pacing of progression to be rather satisfying. The couch co-op is saved per slot meaning each character save slot also contains the other players' stats and inventory data and only the primary character is able to be selected solo. It shouldn't be a problem if you plan to mostly or exclusively play with someone else. The only real criticism that I have of the games is the almost complete lack of tool-tips and no dedicated wikipedia pages or anything. There are a lot of "things" in the game that you'll just have to figure out on your own or check the forums/reddit and hope you get lucky. Fortunately the game is rather intuitive and there isn't much reason to "min-max" or stress too much about freely allocating ability and attribute points. This series is extremely fun and worth the sticker price. They remind me of Chronicon in a way seeing how they're both solo dev ARPGs who are really well received but just flew under the radar without publishers and before the age of influencers.

Enjoying the game so far :) I like the mini-games and the pet system
