Celestial Hearts

A pretty solid indirect sequel to the first two Knight Bewitched games, with a similar tone, pacing and game mechanics. The graphics seem a little bit better and the gear/item/skill system has been improved a bit too, so if you liked the originals this one will probably be enjoyable too. As for how it connects to the originals, it's set several decades in the future in what seems to be a different region of the same world, and it's immediately clear that the amnesiac angel Helen is actually a manifestation, or at least connected somehow, to the goddess Saint Helena of the previous games. (SLIGHT SPOILERS) Some time later you also learn that a pair of brothers who join your party are descended from the rogue/assassin Uno and, from them reading a book written by a grown-up Stray, you learn that eventually Ruth, Gwen, Stray and Uno teamed up with the previous game's bad guy Lissandra to defeat the wizard Morgoth, and that Ruth and Gwen died in that battle after being betrayed (as expected) by Lissandra, which at least gave me some sort of closure given that both post-credits scenes from the previous games hinted at future events in the story but Knight Bewitched 3 never came out. …

Another fun JRPG game by Joshua Keith. Although I didn't find the narrative as compelling as Knight Bewitched it was still an interesting and fun adventure. The hard difficulty is pretty challenging if you're looking for a tough cookie to grind out. There's enough connective tissue to other games to keep things interesting and enough new developments to be intriguing. Like his other games there's plenty of optional content and secrets to find as well, and a deep and competent combat system with many different build approaches for you to find the right style that you enjoy and/or to tackle bosses in a specific way. I don't see a high-replayability factor here but if you're looking for a charming JRPG game with a complex combat system and some fun characters this is a great little game to spend 20 hours on. You don't have to have played any of the other games to enjoy this game's plot but it will make certain characters and interactions make more sense with Knight Bewitched contexts. The game regularly goes on sale for a dollar or two which is a STEAL but even for 4.99 this is a great little RPG to enjoy a few weekends exploring.

It was a fun little story :) Short, sweet, silly, just a good time overall. It's not very difficult, you're not gonna need to do hours of grinding in order to defeat bosses which I appreciate. Just playing the game normally, you'll get enough exp through the encounters. Tho, I DID do a LOT of backtracking, I just get anxious thinking I'm missing out on things, but honestly I didn't need to do all of that lol I do wish there was just a bit more build up in the relationship before they kiss and do the do off camera. I was just a bit surprised it happened so soon. I like how the story wasn't just about them, I love my love on the side of the world ending, and the other characters got a good amount of time too. I think I ended up liking Sylvie more than I did the main character Kayah. After finishing it I realized something, I need more gay rpg maker stories in my life. If I can't find more, I should make some myself haha I really enjoyed seeing what all this creator did with rpg maker :)

I really enjoyed the gameplay, character development, and story. Started on normal difficulty for my first playthrough and am currently working through my second playthrough on the hardest difficulty and trying to unlock even more achievements that were missed during my first playthrough. Would definitely recommend for a nice, fun game to steamroll through.

The beginning is good if it keeps even 1/2 the pace it will be good deal I got on sale. Character Art and backgrounds, Music, Story, and nice game engine. Nothing wrong with this so far. I can't see any negativity unless one paid too much. I'm sure if one wants a good JRPG at a low price this is one of them.

It pains me to do this but, while I liked the game, I cannot recommend it: (a) GAME-PLAY: even on hard difficulty it was still easy. (b) STORY: I enjoyed the inclusion of lesbian love but the plot was not really engaging, to the point that finishing the game felt more like an obligation. (d) GRAPHICS: Graphically the game looked amazing and the avatars were gorgeous.
