there is some promise here and there are some good ideas here heck there is even some realy endearing audio-visual design going on but frankly nothing and i do mean nothing is polished, finished or better said: nothing realy works progression works classical: you kill mobs, do quest, get exp, lvl up the crux is the talent-tree-system you get 3 tiers of talent trees per character and for every lvl up a point each tree consists of a small amount of straight stat upgrades (+ATK, +HP, etc.) and for the most part buffs to the char's skills; usualy multiple different buffs per skill (like a cost reduction, or added debuff/buff effects, etc.). and here is the problem: for 99% (not an overstatement) these skill-buffs do not matter at all. you will barely ever outside of boss-battles (very, very few) use anything but auto-attacks. but even worse: debuffs do not work on bosses. every boss has a permanent buff that negates debuffs. the tank-char with his taunt? nigh useless cause his taunt acts as a debuff on enemies, hence doesn't work on bosses. which also means his re-active skills (like a damage-on-beeing-hit-aura) do not work any better than they would on any other char. i am also v…

Games has serious bugs at time of writing. I like the game but this review will remain negative until I see evidence that the devs/publishers show an intent to fix the game. So far I have encountered disappearing npcs when attempting to turn in quests, but far worse than that are numerous collision issues that result in your character falling through the map forcing you to reload and old save. The collision bugs I have been able to repeat in the same locations and happen on the world map when attempting to collect loot. All this and I am only in Chapter 2 so it will likely get worse as I progress to later areas of the game. I have posted evidence in the forums via screenshots if anyone cares to see for themselves.

Decent turn based JRPG with a good cast of characters and decent story. Gameplay is simple but solid and the speed up button for battles is a good QOL tool. Graphics are decent and the soundtrack is pretty good. Overall a decent game and if you get it on sale you should enjoy it.
