    • “I really loved a lot about this game, the characters, art, scenarios, and unique story made it stand out from a lot of other RPG Maker RPGs.”
    • “The story is rich, the characters' personalities are strong, and everything is great.”

  • gameplay
    118 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising its innovative mechanics and nostalgic old-school RPG elements, while others criticize it for being clunky, frustrating, and reliant on unreliable mechanics. Players noted that the game offers a unique twist on traditional JRPG gameplay, including a resource management aspect and a "call system" for assistance, but many found the execution lacking, leading to a challenging yet often unenjoyable experience. Overall, while there are creative ideas present, the gameplay struggles with bugs and repetitive elements, making it a hit or miss for players.

    • “The core gameplay is cool, and the concept is something you probably haven't seen before.”
    • “Where the game truly shines is in the gameplay - or more precisely who you play.”
    • “Simply wonderful and nostalgic old school RPG game with some innovative gameplay, worth a try!”
    • “Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality copy-pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay.”
    • “I would recommend other RPG Maker games over this one anytime. Yes, there is a lot of work put into this game and the unique look is definitely a plus, but the gameplay is just plain annoying and not well developed.”
    • “It's a fun little game, but it does verge on frustrating when you have to lean on unreliable mechanics (e.g. evasion, confusion, critical attacks...) and every boss has the potential to just one-shot you out of the blue.”
  • graphics
    82 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in this RPG Maker game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the colorful and charming art style, while others criticize the reliance on default assets and lack of HD support.

    • “Graphics feel fresh with each area, nothing feels repetitive.”
    • “The graphics - or rather the choice of tile sets used - are very cute, colorful, crisp and clean.”
    • “Models and artwork are great; you can see that from the first minutes of playing that a lot of time and skills are put into it.”
    • “As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer.”
    • “However, most (if not all) of the graphics are using default graphics.”
    • “It may be that I hadn't gotten into the game in the time I played (which was very short) but I felt that the visuals were lacking.”
  • music
    80 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its quality and how well it fits the environment, particularly during battles. While some tracks are described as epic and enjoyable, others are noted to be repetitive or mismatched with certain scenes.

  • humor
    68 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a mix of humor that ranges from light-hearted and witty dialogue to darker, more absurd moments, often poking fun at RPG clichés. While many players appreciate the comedic elements and character interactions, some feel that the humor doesn't fully compensate for gameplay issues. Overall, it is recognized as a humorous RPG with a unique charm, though opinions vary on the effectiveness of its jokes.

    • “The story has all the usual classic dramatic clichés from JRPGs: evil emperor taking over the world, a world which is 'dying' and slowly collapsing, etc., but it's sprinkled with a ton of humor: funny item descriptions, heroes with an attitude, funny dialogues, small details everywhere... I really liked it!”
    • “I'm amazed a small RPG Maker game managed to make those tiny characters so interesting, funny, and engaging.”
    • “There is a lot of humor in the dialogues, and all characters have their personalities well defined.”
  • optimization
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant performance issues, including lag and crashes, which detract from the overall experience despite its appealing design. Many reviewers attribute these problems to the limitations of the RPG Maker MV engine, suggesting that while some critical issues have been patched, players should still be cautious about the game's optimization. Overall, the combat system is well-optimized, but the game's balance and performance remain problematic.

    • “Now that the most critical issues have been patched, I do recommend this game, especially considering its low price, but be warned of the performance issues and odd balancing which is the result of mixing together puzzle-combat and RNG without the ability to grind nor the concessions on difficulty you usually see in JRPGs.”
    • “Combat system is well optimized, but a bit more challenging than most games of this genre.”
    • “At the end of each chapter, you are scored based on your performance, which unlocks useful bonuses.”
    • “The main problem is the game’s performance: at some moments it gets incredibly laggy and even crashes, which really shouldn’t be happening given its low-tech outlook.”
    • “However, the game has performance issues which might hinder you from playing the game.”
    • “The fault most likely lies in large parts on RPG Maker MV's engine itself, which seems poorly optimized and capricious in general.”
  • stability
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is plagued by numerous glitches and bugs, leading to frequent crashes and freezes, particularly when pressing the tab key or during critical gameplay moments. Many users report being unable to progress due to these stability issues, although some see potential for improvement in the future. Overall, the current state of stability is a significant concern for players.

    • “When I attempt to run the game (after reading the dev's suggestions on the support page), I receive a blank, white screen which freezes Steam when launched through Steam, or freezes Windows for a few minutes if run prior to Steam's launch.”
    • “I cannot get past the second battle because the game freezes and crashes after the monster is slain.”
    • “Pressing the tab button freezes the game; to unfreeze it, you have to alt+tab, then go back to the game.”
  • replayability
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers high replayability, enhanced by features such as chapter replays and achievement unlocks that encourage players to revisit content for improved scores and to discover hidden secrets. Despite its relatively short playtime of around four hours, players find the experience enjoyable and worth the price, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a fun JRPG with lasting appeal.

    • “It has great replay value though, and is more than worth the price.”
    • “The ability to replay chapters adds another layer of depth and replayability, and for the price, I would not pass this one over if you’re looking for a JRPG.”
    • “All in all, a great, funny game that may not be that long (it’s, in the words of the developers, 4 hours long), but with a great replay value.”
    • “Extremely short (even with high replay value).”
    • “Was a lot of fun and only took a couple of hours to beat it; has a bit of replay value with the achievement unlocks getting easier every time you re-complete a chapter.”
    • “These ranks unlock certain helps and extras that make the game easier and replayable, like the 'Don Miguel' and mapping tools, which encourage you to revisit stages to find secrets that you couldn't unlock the first time you played those stages.”
  • character development
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is noted for its long-term progression typical of the JRPG genre, offering high replayability and solid growth at an attractive price. However, players express frustration over the delayed development of party members, which only becomes apparent later in the game, while combat mode showcases better character design, particularly for enemies.

    • “RPGs as a genre promote long-term character development.”
    • “High replayability, solid character development, and for an insanely good price.”
    • “I would like to complain about the lack of character development for your party members until later in the game, where you finally get some idea of who they are and why all of this is happening.”
    • “Is short-term character development that keeps resetting.”
    • “Combat mode is better when it comes to character design, especially with enemy characters.”
  • grinding
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its engaging story and episodic structure, which eliminates the need for grinding, allowing players to focus on crafting and item management instead. Reviewers appreciate that the gameplay encourages thoughtful decision-making without the repetitive tasks often associated with grinding.

    • “As far as I can tell, due to the episodic nature of the sections of the game, you can't and won't be level-grinding and you have to deal with whatever items you can find, as well as deciding what items to improve with the crafting items you find along the way.”
    • “But I felt a need to represent gamers with a conscience and post this review, so I got a key through a cheap trade and made my money back through card farming.”
  • monetization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of the game has been criticized as a disappointing cash grab, characterized by the use of recycled assets and minimal effort in development. Despite having a potentially good idea, the execution reflects a lack of care and creativity, leading to a negative perception of its value.

    • “This... is one good idea, turned into a disappointing cash grab.”
    • “It's from Andorlea, who've been rubberstamping out these asset flips for the best part of a decade, lazy cash grabs with canned assets, terrible writing, and minimal effort spent with the RPG Maker construction kit.”
    • “This isn't a cash grab done in 10 hours and released with no care.”
  • emotional
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its emotionally impactful writing, with many players noting that it evokes strong feelings and even tears during key moments. The powerful introduction sets the tone, quickly immersing players in an emotionally charged experience that contrasts with the action-oriented gameplay.

    • “It might look like just another RPG game, but the writing managed to hit some serious emotional beats with me, even making me tear up at a couple of points.”
    • “The intro at the start of the game made me feel this way almost instantly, and it isn't long before you are chucked right in at the deep end, straight into combat.”
  • atmosphere
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its beauty and immersive qualities, contributing significantly to the overall experience. Players appreciate the distinct environments and engaging gameplay, enhanced by a compelling narrative and the introduction of new characters.
