  • The main scenario writing and translation are standout features, enhancing the overall experience.
  • The game offers a fun and engaging short RPG experience, particularly appealing to fans of the genre.
  • The morally grey female protagonist is well-developed and adds depth to the story, making players invested in her journey.
  • The game is very short, with many players feeling it ends just as the story gets interesting.
  • Combat lacks strategic depth and can feel underwhelming, with little variation in enemy encounters.
  • The game is linear with no meaningful choices, making it feel more like a visual novel than a traditional RPG.
  • gameplay
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized as a standard turn-based RPG with fun mechanics, though it is criticized for being short and lacking in difficulty. While the tactical combat is entertaining and well-balanced, the boss design is seen as bland and could benefit from more unique features. Overall, the game shows potential but feels limited in its current form.

    • “Gameplay is fairly standard RPG, with some good presentation and enemy units actually reducing in number as you hurt them.”
    • “The gameplay is well-balanced this time, but I think the bosses need more unique appearances and skillsets.”
    • “As the store description says, the game is indeed pretty short, which is a shame, because the story is quite interesting, and the tactical combat gameplay has a lot of potential: entertaining as it currently is, but it could stand to gain more features and tactics to employ in battle.”
    • “In practice, a character's HP/follower count doesn't actually have any effect on gameplay, at least compared to games like Conviction.”
    • “This means the gameplay is pretty much a standard turn-based RPG and is in fact a simplified version of Loser Reborn's battle system, especially with the skills that inflict global increases or decreases towards elemental resistance.”
    • “However, the boss design in this game is bland, both visually and mechanically.”
  • story
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story offers an engaging twist on the traditional fantasy hero versus dark villain trope, maintaining a quick pace that keeps players interested despite its brevity, with a completion time of around three hours. While the plot is intriguing, some players noted that the villains lack depth, which may become a drawback if the story were to be extended beyond its prologue format. Overall, the narrative is compelling but could benefit from greater complexity and character development.

    • “Story is an inversion of the fantasy hero - dark villain trope, which works well, and the game is short enough that the plot moved quickly and kept my interest.”
    • “As the store description says, the game is indeed pretty short, which is a shame because the story is quite interesting (despite the antagonists having no redeeming qualities), and the tactical combat gameplay has a lot of potential.”
    • “A minor complaint is that the villains of the story are a bit one-dimensional, which is not enough to be problematic because this is a prologue, but I could see it being a bit boring if extended to the main story.”
    • “The story is paced fairly well, but I wish it had more complexity.”
    • “The game is pretty short; I beat it in about 3 hours, but the story and general feel of the game kept me hooked.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find grinding in the game frustrating due to static enemy behavior, as they do not approach the hero. However, the game offers a more streamlined experience compared to "Loser Reborn," allowing for efficient grinding through the respawn of weak enemies.

    • “Grinding is annoying because enemies do not move towards the hero.”
    • “Balance-wise, the game is designed to be less of a resource management puzzle compared to Loser Reborn, mainly because weak enemies can be respawned for more efficient grinding.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are considered subpar, with players noting that they have experienced better RPGs that feature inferior visual quality. Overall, the graphics do not seem to meet the expectations set by other titles in the genre.

    • “I've played better RPGs with worse graphics.”
