Elrentaros Wanderings

This is the saddest, most disappointing game I've played this year, and I'm having a hard time imagining anything overtaking it. The trailers made it look like Rune Factory, but in practice, it feels like a combat tech demo at best. The town is just a conglomerate of unanimated character sprites you can interact with. Nothing moves around, and you can't enter houses. The most primitive NES RPGs have more fleshed-out towns than this, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that all the functions it serves could've been handled by a single menu. The same can be said about the overworld, an empty sandbox that barely serves any purpose besides connecting stages. Some farming is thrown in there, but it's implemented at such a surface level, that it makes you wonder if it was only included to be shown for two seconds in the trailers, and make the game seem more complete. Dating is also a joke. On top of being very shallow like everything else, the dialogue is pure cringe and honestly kind of distasteful at times. If you've ever played Rune Factory, you know character relationships are usually corny or cheesy but in a cute and endearing way, but in this game, they come across as…

I bough this game because I love Rune factory game But I can't enjoy this game We got small village and some Villager who give us a quest Got quest -> go to dungeon 1st time to find condition to get Quest item -> go to dungeon 2nd time I cant find the way to enjoy this game

I'm not going to outright slam this game, because I did have SOME fun with it, but I agree with SweetGhostlyNight's review on it. I just beat it today, because I had to play it in bits and pieces here, due to my work schedule. At first, I thought the difficult was a bit high when I started the game and found that i had to somehow avoid getting hit by a rabbit's arrows. I ranted about it in the discussions, but eventually overcame it. It turns out that, once you get a good idea of how to proceed through dungeons and their challenges, all you have to do is play through one once to see which ones you failed or passed, and if you already passed one, like with not getting hit by a swine's projectile attacks, you can go through on your next play through it without having to worry about playing through a dungeon as carefully again. So in a way, it becomes relatively easier to deal with challenges. Also, try NOT to get too attached to some legendary weapon or armor because with how you will almost always be underleveled compared to the current dungeons you're running through, sometimes, you'll want to take advantage of a gold or a silver, or even a brown rarity weapon to kill some monsters…

By far the most dissapointing game experience I've had in 2024. Pros: + Sidequests do reference to the characters handing them out (even thought it does not make sense how a grandma's backscratcher is found in the depths of a dungeon) + Gadgets (obtainable through these sidequests) too + Some thoughts've been put in the weapon changing/enhancing system + Boss Fights are at least somewhat interesting, especially if there's a mission for it limiting options Cons: - the story is so utterly confusing and weird, game would've probably been better without any - even though the combat works somehow, it's rather bland and not challenging at all - Challenging Level, one sellingpoint of the game, reeks like an excuse for even less dungeons (though there aren't that much) - Same goes for the Planting system In short: It's bad. The price is somewhat of an issue too, but what's really downing was the horrible, confusing and disappointing story and the blandness of combat. It works at least somehow, but playing that wasn't fun at all.

I wanted to support the studio but I can't. The game is so bland and boring that I kept falling asleep. Other negative comments are correct, don't buy the game unless you really have nothing better to do, which includes sleep.

i thought this was a Rune Factory-esque game
