Illusion of L'Phalcia

Follow our curator for similar games https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35180752-3-point-play/ Final Fantasy + Breath of Fire + good story = Another great classic style JRPG from KEMCO. Bonus for being partially voiced during main events and good controller support.

This is sadly a made for mobile game complete with the let's make the balance so bad that you must spend the money to proceed. Except this time they took away the option to buy the premium currency but got to earn it in optional really hard battles which you will never complete until you have played for a long time, but the main battles are balanced still around the premium currency. I ended up rage quitting when I hit a pack of monsters that buffed themselves up to stupidly high levels and had AOE spells before I had any AOE cure and any way to remove buffs from them, and that was still within the first 2 hours of the game.

With Illusion we get the usual handeld port from Kemco. It's like seeing an old movie again...except the 3d-figthing screen everything else is the same. Means your party if very fast overpowered and even boss-fights are just a few rounds without problems. The only part that takes longer is the (usual) Maid challenge....but if you have enough patience to level up (lvl up to 999). The story is linear without any surprises. The fights are boring (and the setup takes longer than the actual fighting). Again after the (not so) last boss you can play more to get the true ending. Don't expect any changes or that you have a choice between different endings. Can I recommend this game? If you are bored and want to waste some money...sure buy it. Everybody else try it out and believe me you'll see nothing new after the first hour.

Bloated beyond reason. The characters have every reason to get along but instead of just talking things out they shout at each other over and over. It's exhausting. Even when they try to resolve it, it keeps going. I understand they want drama in their game, but this is unreasonable. The combat is mediocre, too, so there's no reason to keep going.
