story11 positive mentions
grinding2 negative mentions
  • Unique and engaging dice-based turn-based combat with strategic depth and skill customization.
  • Compelling, well-written story deeply rooted in Chinese mythology featuring memorable characters and intertwined arcs.
  • Beautiful artwork and atmospheric soundtrack that enhance the emotional and immersive experience.
  • English translation is rough, with awkward phrasing, grammatical errors, untranslated text, and occasional continuity issues.
  • The story can feel railroady with limited meaningful player choice, and some character arcs and themes are controversial or poorly handled.
  • Gameplay difficulty is generally low, and some bugs or interface issues (like screen subtitle cutoff and occasional softlocks) detract from the experience.

  • story

    The story is generally praised for its emotional depth, intriguing character arcs, and compelling plot twists, especially for those less familiar with Chinese mythology. However, some find the main protagonist unlikeable or the narrative approach (such as a fixed "chosen one" male hero) unengaging, and note issues like translation inconsistencies and minor continuity errors. Overall, the game’s storytelling shines through its multi-character structure and visual novel style, often heightening player investment despite occasional flaws.

    • “The plot is charming and compelling, especially if you're not so familiar with Chinese mythology tropes.”
    • “I initially went in just to scratch my Slay the Spire itch, but instead I found a deeply emotional, story-driven gem.”
    • “The story was stunningly emotional, invoking feelings of happiness, grief, anger, so many tears and a desire to see everything through.”
    • “I could totally get behind the story of vengeance for the protagonist having his kingdom taken away and himself being put through unjust torment, if the protagonist wasn't a bloody lunatic who's just one dialogue option away from murdering a random pickpocketer.”
    • “Because of it, I was losing interest in the story fast and in the end just dropped it altogether with the first loss.”
    • “There are still some untranslated "pages" of the story here and there (thankfully you usually don't lose much), and the overall English translation is written in a way I personally found severely unengaging and detached.”

  • gameplay

    38% positive mentions, 39% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The gameplay is generally engaging and unique, featuring interesting dice-based mechanics and satisfying big-impact moments, though it is often more fun than challenging. Some players find it somewhat railroaded with repetitive strategies that limit difficulty, but lively characters and novel systems help offset these flaws. Overall, gameplay is enjoyable but occasionally falls short of deeper complexity or lasting engagement.

    • “Gameplay is more satisfying rather than challenging—the big-number, nuke-damage kind of satisfying, like Monster Train!”
    • “That said, the gameplay is fun enough and the many characters lively enough to more than make up for the flaws in translation.”
    • “Cool gameplay, never seen using dice as stamina before.”
    • “Don't know, maybe later I will revisit the story hoping that gameplay itself would engage me (improbable), but for now it just makes me dissatisfied to the point of rage.”
    • “I'd especially recommend this to anyone who was as disappointed with the unfulfilled potential, flop storytelling, and tedious gameplay of Octopath as I was.”
    • “I would best describe this game as a severely railroaded D&D campaign with simpler mechanics.”

  • emotional

    The game delivers a deeply emotional, story-driven experience with beautifully intertwined character fates that evoke a wide range of strong feelings, including happiness, grief, and anger. Its powerful narrative and dark moments create a compelling emotional core that resonates deeply with players.

    • “I initially went in just to scratch my Slay the Spire itch, but instead I found a deeply emotional, story-driven gem.”
    • “The characters’ fates are beautifully intertwined, and that connection gives the narrative a strong emotional core.”
    • “The story was stunningly emotional, invoked feelings of happiness, grief, anger, so many tears and a desire to see everything through.”

  • humor

    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's humor is a mix of unintentional comedy stemming from numerous translation errors, awkward phrasing, and typos, which may amuse players despite their flaws. Additionally, the witty commentary from the fisherman character adds genuinely funny moments.

    • “The commentary from the fisherman (the DM in the background) is also quite funny.”

  • grinding

    Grinding in the game is manageable and not overly tedious, offering a reasonable challenge without becoming frustrating. It provides a necessary level-up advantage for tougher enemies, appealing to players seeking a more rewarding experience compared to similar games with tedious gameplay.

    • “I'd especially recommend this to anyone who was as disappointed with the unfulfilled potential, flop storytelling, and tedious gameplay of Octopath as I was.”
    • “There are situations where enemies are hard to beat, but leveling up is required to gain an advantage; the grinding is not too bad.”
