Bonds of the Skies

This felt like a down to earth 16bit era rpg in the vein of the snes classics. I know Kemco is accused of making mobile shovelware rpgs but I actually enjoy this one a lot. Almost feels like a loose gba sequel to Skies of Arcadia for sega dreamcast. Except it could def use more airships.

I really tried to like this but the rough translation threw me off. There is also just one portrait per main character in the game. They seem stiff and look as though a 14 year old drew them. I'm a fan of KEMCO's other games but this is just bad. Quite a shame really. I like the pixelated artstyle of the game.

This is a review that I wish I could put a neutral for. Since even though this KT game does a lot of things right, it does one big thing wrong. The gameplay loop in this is phenomenal, one of the best I've experienced in ages. I loved it. However the true final boss kind of soured it for me. Since she is so dang strong that without an excessive amount of grinding, it felt kind of like I hit an impassable brick wall. This game by far has one of the best systems implemented in a KT game and you want to know why? There's no secondary currency. You don't have to worry about grinding enemies to get enough points for a second playthrough! That's the biggest upside. Plus the story in and of itsself is pretty neat. But again the true finale kind of ruins all the good things this does.

A fairly short and easy JRPG. Great for when you have 8-ish hours over and need to pass the time. Decent story, good writing, very easy combat. 7/10

what the hell is this game lamao

For the record: I played this game for 6 1/2 hours....after that I couldn't care anymore. The gameplay was so boring or better said without anything exciting (and that's not counting that my party members were over level 60 without much grinding). Heck, I should read some reviews before buying those games ;-) I mean if even the premier fan site for Kemco games gives this one of the lowest votings......
