    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is widely criticized for being confusing and incomplete, with many players feeling that essential elements are missing or poorly explained. Despite the developers' claims that the narrative is not a priority, players argue that a strong story is crucial for RPGs, and the lack of world-building and character development detracts significantly from the experience. Overall, reviewers recommend avoiding the game unless substantial improvements are made to its storytelling and gameplay.

    • “The entire concept of the game and the desire to provide unexpected plot beats has merit regardless of its success.”
    • “Some elements of the story could only be understood by reading the 'story' summary function in the menu.”
    • “There is barely any world building or exposition and the story just consists of characters talking to each other for a couple of seconds.”
    • “I read a review that said the developer mentioned the story was incomplete, which really makes sense because I don't understand what is going on at all in the game.”
    • “I had the benefit of speaking with the developer during my playthrough, and unfortunately, the conversation only confirmed my fears: the story is in fact incomplete, with much of it simply not in the game.”
    • “There is barely any world-building or exposition, and the story just consists of characters talking to each other for a couple of seconds.”

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are praised for their excellent anime pixel art style, appealing particularly to fans of classic console games. The sprite work, animation, and monster designs are noted as visually pleasing and reminiscent of beloved titles like Phantasy Star. However, despite the strong visual elements, some reviewers suggest looking for other RPGs with better overall experiences.

    • “The anime pixel art artworks are excellent, especially for old-console fans.”
    • “The only positive feedback I'll have is for the art style and animation; everything looked beautiful.”
    • “The artwork is reminiscent of classic Phantasy Star games (I see a bit of Wren and Nei/Rika in some of the portraits), the sprite work is excellent, and the monster designs are all pretty fun and interesting.”
    • “They certainly found some strong staff for visuals and soundtrack, and the concept is certainly worth exploring.”
  • gameplay
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been criticized for its ineffective mechanics, particularly the poorly implemented social deception feature, which many players find pointless. Reviewers express disappointment in the developer's lack of responsiveness to feedback, suggesting that significant improvements are necessary for the game to be recommended. Overall, the gameplay experience is seen as lacking and in need of substantial revisions.

    • “The social deception mechanic is a complete disaster, and the developer's inability to take criticism has destroyed my hope in future projects.”
    • “Still wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless the developer takes a deep look into the criticism of the game and makes some real gameplay, story, and quality of life changes.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While the game advertises a lack of grinding, many players report experiencing significant grind, particularly in the early stages where they felt compelled to spend hours leveling up to overcome challenging battles. This contradiction has led to mixed feelings about the game's actual grind requirements.

    • “Literally spent 3 hours only on grinding for experience so my party would be able to win against unavoidable battles with unfavorable odds at the beginning.”
    • “a bit grindy sometimes”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised, featuring a selection of strong tracks that enhance the overall experience, although some users noted issues with overlapping audio. The soundtrack, alongside impressive visuals, contributes significantly to the game's appeal and thematic exploration.

    • “The music is fantastic.”
    • “There are a handful of strong tracks in the OST (when they're not getting played on top of each other).”
    • “They certainly found some strong staff for visuals and soundtrack, and the concept is certainly worth exploring.”
  • character development
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is generally perceived as weak, with many reviewers noting that the characters' motivations are often shallow and lack depth.

  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the battle system has been criticized for being buggy, with issues related to the "attack turn" bar functioning independently of enemy turns and AI, leading to a confusing gameplay experience.

    • “In truth, the battle system seems like a weird buggy turn-based system that uses an 'attack turn' bar that works independently of enemy turns/AI (speculation).”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is often described as unintentional, with players finding the script amusing at various moments, leading to a surprisingly entertaining experience.

    • “While I'm sure it's not intentional, the script is actually hilarious at points.”
