The Grindstone

this the most challenging of all the game shane had created love the crafting and thanks to the walk through i really enjoy this game

Once again, Wolfs Moon Studios puts out a banger of a turn-based RPG game. If you are new to this developer, all of their games are short on dialogue and huge on battles. Think old school Final Fantasy with some new twists. There are a few things that set Wolfs Moon apart from other RPG Maker games. 1) The amount of gear available is tremendous. It always feels like a treasure hunt looking for better gear. 2) The bosses are hard! Too many RPG Maker games set the difficulty way too easy. Not so with this game. Heck, even the standard monsters can be difficult if strategy isn't applied. 3) Lots of unique music. The heavy metal riffs while battling a tough boss are a nice touch. I do have some cons to list: 1) There isn't an "end" to the game. I prefer to have a final boss and closure with credits rolling at the end. But this didn't have that, it's more of an infinite level up type of game. 2) There is a huge gap of leveling-up required for competing in the two hardest areas of the game. I had to grind for 10-15 hours to get leveled up enough fight in the last 2 areas. There should have been new monsters/gear/areas to explore to keep it …

The perfect game for someone like me. Minimal story and a focus on gameplay. Satisfying gameplay loop. Just a heads up for Deck users, the game does seem to crash occasionally. It's a known problem for certain versions of rpgmaker. It hasn't detracted from my enjoyment however. Highly recommended if you like grinding and number go up dopamine hits.

This reminds me of classic rpg i used to enjoy back in the day with 4 party character. Just started the game, will update again once i get far into the game*

I have rarely experienced such an uninspired game as this one. Not only does it not actually have a story... just go to this dungeon then to another to get more levels... no, it is also just totally boring. As in most other *games* of this dev, each dungeon only has one type of enemy that you have to defeat again and again. Oh yeah, then there are these great side quests from guild masters... but they only bring me xxxx from defeated enemies. Bad luck if you also chose the wrong jobs for your party... lost points that you never see again. In summary: Boring! Boring!! Boring!!!

I want to like this game but the fact that you walk so slow in dungeons and there is no way to speed up combat just makes this game seem more tedious than fun.
