✦ AI summary
Sword of Rapier is an obscure action JRPG with an interesting premise centered around an amnesiac protagonist and a unique combat system, but players find it falls short in execution. Common complaints include a basic, budget-feeling UI, limited combat variety that becomes repetitive despite having both basic attacks and stamina-based skills, and unfair difficulty spikes that lead to cheap deaths. While the game has some nostalgic charm as a revived indie title, it doesn't match the polish or depth of similar action JRPGs in the genre.

Sword of Rapier, a very obscure doujin game by Ikumo vDog from the begone era of Xbox LIVE Indie Games, is a 2010 action RPG with a unique "Sky High" combat system that I was surprised to see not only making its way onto PC in 2018, but was updated and re-released on mobile phones and the PlayStation Vita years prior. Its story begins with Katharine, an amnesiac woman who wakes up in the middle of a forest with no recollection of her past or her identity, but discovers a bloodstained rapier in her hands as soldiers from the Heristal Empire try to apprehend her for crimes she has clue whether or not she has committed. She tries to fend off the soldiers as well as monsters as she tries to escape through the forest only to run into their commander, a knight named Sara who knows something about Katharine yet harbors a grudge against her as she tries to kill Katharine on the spot. Miraculously Katharine survives her run-in with Sara thanks to a girl named Denise and her brother Ares whom nursed her back to health and looked after her when she washed up from the valley. With their help, Katharine explores the vast world of the Heristal Empire in search of her lost memories. While not an…4 found this helpful
Found this one by looking through action JRPGs on Steam and thought it looked interesting. Turns out it's nothing special, and it's shame cause I wanted to like this. - The UI looks pretty basic (like it's from a free game or something worth £1, no offense). - You have 2 options when it comes to the combat's basic attacks; stab or slash. Slash will always have you air enemies automatically in combos and it gets old pretty quickly tbh. So it's best to just do stab, which does feel better imo, but also gets boring pretty quickly since there's no variety in the attacking. There ARE also skills, but they're stamina based like in every other action JRPG, so don't expect to go spamming them infinitely. Don't go expecting anything Ys level, let's just say. - Deaths can feel pretty cheap. Pretty easy to get stunlocked, and it's not rare for you to get overpowered by enemies the same level as you. I was playing on Normal here (there's 3 difficulties), and I've beaten every Ys game on the highest difficulty, I know what I'm talking about here. - The story is a generic "help I lost my memories" kinda story. Maybe it turns out to be good, idk, but the dialogue ain't exactly the highest qua…
