A JRPG using a cyberpunk setting, that is set in European countries (which is quite unusual when you think of cyberpunk, not many other games done that)? A JRPG that has mechanics that go beyond the regular formula? With great pixel art that stands out from other indie games? And with a good story on top of that all? If you're into Deus Ex/conspiracy theories, you can expect that (and even more). The answer is yes. Good game, enjoyed every minute of it, worth the full price.6 found this helpful
Hard to say no to this game because I can tell it was born from a real love for classic JRPGs, but it was undone by tedium and too many things that just didn't work for me. First thing I noticed: the game is plagued with constant grammatical errors, way too many to list here. I found it sort of endearing and nostalgic at first, but it gets pretty distracting down the road. Exploration is not a great experience. In sprawling areas with roads and tall plants and such, you're limited to walking on very specific terrain and the boundaries are sometimes unclear, especially when the fixed isometric view obscures a path you [i]can[/i] walk on. I felt like some areas didn't have enough interactable NPCs, and that makes the world feel lifeless despite the nicely detailed and animated pixel art. And then there's the exceedingly dull random encounters. Enemies pose very little threat, but they also have lots of HP for some reason. I usually try to play these games conservatively, but I had to spam my strongest skills just to end fights reasonably quickly - and that meant repeatedly opening the menu to heal SP. Bosses are very easy for the most part, and sometimes even quicker to die than…4 found this helpful
just finish first chapter and it's kinda remind me to classic jrpg in GBA, PS1 era. Recommended.2 found this helpful
[list] [*]A cyberpunk/sci-fi JRPG [*]Set in Germany [*]With catgirl NPCs [*]Stylish sprites [*]And CURRYWURST as a stat boost item [/list] Look, it might not be perfect and might have some typos, but it really scratches an itch that very few other games did so far. I will update my review when I finish the game (just in the middle of Chapter 1 so far), but darnit, I wish I learned of this sooner and wanted to contribute to give this game a little bit more visibility with a positive review! First time I see the word "Schnitzel" used in an RPG. Can't reccommend enough so far.1 found this helpful
