    The gameplay is praised for its engaging mechanics, including a strategic battle system and customizable skills, reminiscent of classic RPGs like Final Fantasy 4.

    • “Combined with the music, the gameplay provides an experience similar to SNES classics like Final Fantasy 4 and Lufia 2, ensuring that it stays memorable.”
    • “The complex battle mechanic means that the customizable skill system and equipment options throughout the game are very rewarding.”
    • “I'm all for a challenging, decently sized dungeon to finish off a game, but when your final dungeon is about as time-consuming as 1/3 of the total gameplay time it took you to reach the dungeon in the first place, it's a bit overboard.”
    • “After being unable to defeat the boss due to a mechanic I won't mention here, I decided 'well, I'll just go grind some more', even though I couldn't bear the thought of walking out of that annoying area again, even without enemy encounters (by disabling crystal).”
    • “The 'threat' system during battles prods the player towards more strategic gameplay, instead of going in and using all of your most powerful abilities to quickly destroy opponents.”

    • “Music plays way too loud in the beginning and it's very generic, story is sort of spoiled/told to you in the intro, characters didn't really resonate with me, controls don't feel good (you have to use a mouse to play this, no remapping to WASD).”

    • “The first is the music.”
