*sigh* I so wanted to like this. But ultimately the combat is the major dealbreaker. It isn't even the combat itself I guess, it's the progression. It's absurdly slow, making boss encounters tedious and tiresome. There aren't enough opportunities to level up at a fast enough pace to not make it feel like an absolute slog. You earn so little money from combat encounters that coupled with the low experience gain it feels like each one is just some nonsensical thing there to keep you occupied. The active stuff in combat is cool, but mostly disappointing. Especially the block. Sure it negates some of the damage, but when your characters have such low health to begin with that is almost a pointless gimmick to have. The 2 characters + companion system is hamstrung by the companion not being able to use items - and not having the same level of effectiveness with the attacks/skills. Spending each turn with one character healing while the other does trivial attacks fighting a boss with 250 health was not fun a any point.3 found this helpful
Pretty fantastic game. 100% Recommended1 found this helpful
I'm disappointed. The style and attention to detail is absolutely amazing, the art direction is incredible. The gameplay itself is just meh, with pointless fetch quests and battles that take way too long. Your attacks will do 8 damage at most, and a boss will have over 100 health. It's not difficult, it just takes way too long. If you like the vibe, maybe give it a shot, but I sadly couldn't recommend this one.
Fun little game that kept a tight scope and is better for it
Super underrated, gorgeous bite-sized rpg!
I only got this because i wanted to play the original before playing the new game. This was a fun and cute RPG with unique QTE's for each of your abilities which sets it a part from most turn based games. Its very stylistic and has great side quest and "problem solving" to progress the game forward. The funny dialogue kept me entertained through the entire game. I did 100% completion because i was /THAT/ into it. Well worth the price. OMW to Echo Generation 2!!!!
