Cinnabar Nights

Feels like a game created by an artist more than a game created by someone with an understanding of game design. In the first hour I very easily hit a point where I was one shotting every normal encounter with a spell my character started with because of how leveling up works, and pretty quickly got to a point where I was killing every boss in 3 turns without them being able to do anything. I didn't need to engage with any items or equipment, nor could I tell you what any status effect did, all I needed to do was continue using the spell I had from the start of the game to kill everything. The lack of direction on the island is cool, but a few NPCs will ask you to find someone or a location, and give you no direction to find said person/place. This was particularly egregious when the reward for completing a quest chain was a key to a location I've never been to, and was given no direction on where it was, so I got to spend an hour bumbling around getting interrupted by combat where I killed everything before they got a turn. NPCs are pretty threadbare, you'll get some small amount of insight into them, they'll usually ask you to go murder someone, then afterwards say ok thanks!! …

the art work for this game is what does it for me im not to far into the game only 6 hours but man the fights are fun. 5/5 for me

The kind of game you can get lost in while exploring the world. There aren't really many things to go off of and you are free to do whatever you want. The art and music are both wonderful too. If you find the right build it's actually incredibly easy but I definitely liked the game regardless.

This game is crazy good for the money. Can confidently say I'd be more than happy to spend 3x the amount on it. Thoroughly fun to explore and expand. Very satisfying exploration progression. Gorgeous art style and music!!

beautiful.

Great game. Good vibes. Good art. Highly recomend especially since the price is very affordable
