There is a lot of heart put into this. It only lasts a couple hours but it's worth it to anyone that grew up playing genesis rpgs. So much detail was put into it. Almost every item in the world can be checked and you will get a description. All the characters are well developed and I actually started to care what happened to them. The music was really well done as well. Loved all the 90s lines thrown in as well. I really hope the developer makes the next chapter. It would be a shame for it to be abandoned. I would pay for the next chapter, I enjoyed it that much.1 found this helpful
Reference Opus indeed lol. There's plenty of them everywhere you look. A lovely indie RPG with beautiful music, great pixel art, and classic Phantasy Star IV-style gameplay. The Pech minigame was a fun break from the action. I finished Chapter 0 and am eagerly awaiting any future updates!1 found this helpful
Solid ode to Phantasy Star 4! I loved that game growing up and it was my favorite of the Phantasy Star series with great graphics and music and an awesome battle interface. This dev did a solid job and I hope he can continue because this is a teaser.1 found this helpful
Cool little game! Looking forward to the rest! Keep up the great work! I'm hooked! Love the PS4 feeling.1 found this helpful
A fun experience so far. The inspiration is clear and well implemented in many cases. I look forward to future updates.1 found this helpful
Just Incomplete thats all. Glitchy game crashes under certain circumstances like slimes merging. Which if it auto saved wouldn't be an issue. End fight is very confusing with all sorts of unexplained glitchy behavior. Feel like a prelude to an actual game. Story just gets started when the game ends. You have barely left the first town just the wilds outside it and a dungeon. There is one weird minigame thats pretty hard to control feels more like final fantasy 7 the phantasy star in that sense. only one character has a skin as far as i can tell and its from the hard to control mini game. I got what I paid for though lol.
