Elemental Continent

At the moment this game is unplayable thanks to a bug. After reaching chapter 3 and entering the city of Atlantis I couldn't access the menu anymore. This is critical, because you have to enter the next dungeon directly from Atlantis and there you don't have access to the menu either. Healing or potions are therefore only possible during a fight. What to expect until this breaking bug: Grinding, endless grinding. You need new equipment... well, bad luck. To fully equip your party you can easily plan on an hour of pointless grinding (and that every time you start a new chapter). It's a standard RPGMaker game... so the world is hardly alive. There are hardly any NPCs and the ones that are there... well, you should save before every conversation. Because if the few important NPCs tell you something important and you click it away too quickly... bad luck. The translation also seems to be a very bad MTL, which sometimes made me think about what was meant. There is no quest log. There is no map. So pointless running around to find the next town, dungeon, etc. is inevitable. The fights are monotonous. In each area/dungeon you only encounter a few specific enemies. No tactics required…

Despite some good points (like area/dungeon design and a lot of playtime), this game doesn't offer much in terms of story or gameplay. What's even worse: The developer doesn't answer questions and doesn't fix (potential) (game-breaking) bugs. I don't want to elaborate further, since I'm inclined to change/delete my negative review when the developer finally grants his players appropriate customer service, but until then I can't recommend this game; the chance of getting stuck (because of - game-breaking - bugs) or of getting too bored to continue is just too high.
