  • story
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story begins as a typical fantasy RPG narrative but quickly evolves into a more engaging and complex tale, drawing players into the backstories of both protagonists and NPCs. While the game features linear missions with limited side content, the main storyline offers a challenging experience that keeps players invested. However, some users noted that the user interface changes can be confusing, and the initial missions serve primarily as tutorials, lacking early mechanics to enhance gameplay.

    • “All of a sudden, the story explodes in the best sense.”
    • “Out of nowhere, I found myself invested in the PCs and NPCs, wanting to know more backstory, and impatient for the sequel.”
    • “While the game does not have any side missions to keep you coming back after the main game, the actual meat of the story is pretty challenging and gives you a decent amount to do.”
    • “The story is as generic as it could be.”
    • “Story -- the story starts out as very generic fantasy RPG fare.”
    • “This can be confusing at times because the UI also evolves as you progress in the story (and a few display elements change without explanation at various points).”
  • gameplay
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is centered around turn-based card battles, which some players find engaging due to its mechanics and soundtrack. However, there are concerns about the repetitiveness of enemy abilities and a desire for more varied mechanics introduced earlier in the game. Overall, while the gameplay is enjoyable, it may not appeal to those unfamiliar with turn-based RPGs or card systems.

    • “The gameplay is turn-based and involves cards with actions.”
    • “The gameplay is turn-based card battles.”
    • “It's not bad, don't get me wrong, but the strength of the game lies in the battle mechanics.”
    • “If you're not used to turn-based RPG or card mechanics, though, I'd definitely start somewhere else.”
    • “Finally, I'd really appreciate it if the dev could figure out a way to make enemies interesting without every single one having some kind of 'gets +1 attack each turn of the game' mechanic.”
    • “If you're reading this: add more mechanics early in your next game (sequel?) and don't wait several missions to do so.”
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game feature charming pixel art that evokes a nostalgic, old-school aesthetic, though it lacks advanced settings like full-screen mode.

    • “It has a great pixel and old school music aesthetic combined with a legitimately interesting deck building progression that gives you upgrade paths and cards with multiple use options on them.”
    • “The art style I like; I definitely would recommend this game.”
    • “You can't expect graphics settings from a 2D pixel game, but there's also no full-screen mode.”
    • “The art style is simple and basic, which I don't mean in a bad way, but it may not appeal to everyone.”
