Miriel Saga

Miriel Saga is an abandoned early access 3D interactive novel/ARPG/JRPG hybrid of dubious quality. Gameplay consists of clicking through a huge amount of badly written dialogue before you are then free to wrestle with the unpolished, awkward control scheme. The game feels like it was intended for consoles, but failed to meet required standards for those platforms. PC gamers will be insulted by the console peasant childrens toy gamepad prompts. There's no control customisation either, so many of the controls simply don't seem to be available, which implies practically zero testing was done for PC. Despite the 2019 launch date, there's no support for resolutions beyond HD, a resolution introduced in 2007, and the graphics look a bit like they're from 2007 too, with a kind of low poly/cel shaded look. Not the worst I've seen, but pretty bad. In an unsurprising twist, the game was abandoned by the developers (the last minor update was last year), who promptly dumped this into bargain basement game bundles to gouge out as much as they can before heading for the hills. No refunds were given, but this doesn't stop the developers from trying to sell this game with no reasonable …

I genuinely enjoyed the game and I'm planning to stream it again these coming weeks. I played the game up until the part where I beat Lester and I already have some feedback I want to raise. With that being said, here are my comments on the game: [b] What I liked: [/b] [list] [*] The story/lore of the game is interesting and it influences me to want to know how the story will progress. That's why I'm willing to play and stream it more in the future. [*] Main characters are established. Each of them has their own story to tell and they have unique abilities and play styles. [*] The concept of the game still has a lot of potential. As mentioned, my viewers compared the game to Genshin Impact. I believe if the game can be more solidified and established, it could compete with the likes of Genshin or maybe even better? [*] Background music is nice and suitable for the environment.Ultra high-quality graphics looks amazing. Both the environment and the characters. [*] Dialogue between characters is well thought of. [*] The Miriel Saga world is big and I love that I can freely roam and explore it. [/list] [b] Things that need improving: [/b] [list] [*] When I started up the game, my Avas…

So the voice acting is great some names of certain characters don't fit at some points. The gameplay is awesome but the mapping system, the input before you launch the game if you don't know, could be simplified a little bit. The characters are charming and everything. I know this is early access so I'm not judging it too bad cause its an Early Access, there's bound to be some issues. Also first boss was easy due to a glitch where it couldn't harm me XD

[h1]Overview[/h1] First and foremost, this review can't be completely unbiased since I have contact to the developer of this game, we even did a collaboration on my game, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1739100/Not_Another_Dungeon/][i]Not Another Dungeon?![/i][/url]. The story is mainly delivered via Visual Novel-esque dialogues and small "cutscenes" which are partly voice acted. It's nothing you've never seen, especially if you watch Anime or read Manga. One thing to point out - This game has a surprisingly high amount of content in it. Ignoring basically all of the side quests, I've spent around 20 hours for the main story alone. For a developer team of that small size that it is, that is impressive. [hr][/hr] [h1]Positives[/h1] + A lot of content, like, a LOT. + Creative Skills and Abilities + Old-School (J)RPG vibes + Surprisingly fun dungeons [hr][/hr] [h1]Negatives[/h1] - The platforming sections did not fit the overall gameplay, which is rather fast-paced than precise. - A few bugs here and there, especially in the later parts of the game (e.g. bosses take 0.1x damage because their dialogue had an error). - The limitation of potions made some parts harder than they…
