do yourself a favor and play this game on easy and get ready to spend hours on game that doesn't flow nicely and use a walkthrough. would not recommend.2 found this helpful
Pretends it's an RPG but it's closer to a lucasarts point and click adventure. You are going to need a walkthrough and a lot of free time. I suggest you lay on easy because there's no extra fun to be had from making fights take any longer than they already do. This game had a fast-forward button patched into it for a reason. (Config file says it's \ but it maps to # on my machine). I also suggest you make multiple save games to make sure you don't lose much progress if you softlock yourself. Check it out by all means, because it's a charming and fun setting, but absolutely don't pay full price for this. Get it only if it's heavily discounted. It bombed for reason. I paid £0.69 for it and that's about as much as I'd want to pay for it.1 found this helpful
One of the greatest games ever made. It's a cinematic game in a time most games were still figuring out mouse look. JRPG style comedy space adventure. Amazing characters, great story, and some very fun and impressive in-game cutscenes. Must play1 found this helpful
hidden (rough) gem, one of the best and most original games ever made
Probably a good game, or was. Completely unplayable now. Be warned if you stream too, it will just show your full name on launch. I hope they fix the issues one day, because it looks like an absolute gem of a game.
Play it. I went in knowing nothing about this game. It's really unlike anything I have played before. A western JRPG, set in a sci-fi world full of oddness that feels new despite this game's age. Sure, it has elements of many other sci-fi stories in it. I found that I actually cared about the characters, and it was surprisingly funny for a game over 20 years old. The combat takes a minute to get use to if you don't play turn-based fighting games. But I would recommend going into this game blind and figuring out things as you go. And sure the graphics are old, but who really cares? I would rather have a game with a good story than good graphics. If you like old-ass RPGs, play this game.
