  • story
    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it compelling and engaging, while others criticize it for being basic, rushed, and lacking depth. Many reviewers noted issues with clarity, character development, and exposition, suggesting that the narrative could benefit from more polish and expansion. Overall, while the RPG elements and aesthetics are appreciated, the story's execution leaves room for improvement.

    • “The story is compelling so far and throws you off; the RPG-style aesthetics fit in nicely with the fantasy nature of the game, and the combat system is very refreshing for turn-based play, allowing both you and your enemies to attack at the earliest possible opportunity, rather than 'when it's their turn.'”
    • “The sprites are amazing, the music is great, and the story is so captivating.”
    • “I rather enjoy it, but the lack of the quest system telling you what you are supposed to be doing led me to a point in the game where I didn't know where to go, and I spent a few hours grinding my levels.”
    • “The plot itself is rushed and not very interesting in its current state, as it feels more like a summary or recap of a story rather than an actual story.”
    • “I want to like this game, but the story and characters lack depth.”
    • “The story starts in a boring manner for me (apparently people overused 'kidnapping family member' in RPG games), with that lazy guard that just gives you the key...”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the captivating soundtrack and its nostalgic feel, others criticize the repetitiveness of certain tracks, particularly the title screen music. Additionally, there are suggestions for improvement, such as making the card game music less intense and more atmospheric. Overall, the music is seen as a solid foundation but could benefit from more variety and refinement.

    • “The sprites are amazing, the music is great, and the story is so captivating.”
    • “I hope the developers see this; this is a great foundation for an old school feel to the RPG, along with a great soundtrack.”
    • “Card game music is super intense.”
    • “Another problem is using the same set of music and sounds as many other games...”
    • “The opening song is repetitive and does not strike me as audio I would like to hear with an opening game or sequence.”
    • “Card game music should be something slightly softer and moodier, but light.”
  • graphics
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are described as typical RPG Maker visuals, featuring nostalgic sprites reminiscent of the SNES era, which some players appreciate for their charm. However, there are mixed opinions, with some users expressing dissatisfaction with the graphics quality and the small screen size. Overall, while the aesthetics align well with the game's fantasy theme, they may not meet everyone's expectations.

    • “The RPG-style aesthetics fit in so nicely with the fantasy nature of the game, creating a compelling visual experience.”
    • “Graphics evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of the SNES era, with charming sprites that fans of RPG Maker games will appreciate.”
    • “This game features an awesome graphics style that enhances the overall experience, making it a joy to play.”
    • “Graphics are your basic RPG Maker kind of graphics with sprites that we expect from these games, which is kind of that SNES nostalgia era we all once knew and loved.”
    • “I hate the small screen and that it drops you in the middle of the story without telling you the backstory, and the graphics suck.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been criticized for its lack of engaging story and bland characters, with many mechanics feeling underdeveloped and overwhelming. Players noted that the turn-based battle system is frustrating, as enemies continue to attack while players are deciding their moves, leading to a spammy experience. Overall, expectations for gameplay were met, but not positively, particularly due to its RPG Maker origins.

    • “The gameplay I didn't like because it is just a spam of the spacebar. Even if it's your turn, the battle still goes on, so while you're thinking about what skill or what to do during your turn, the enemies are already killing you.”
    • “It's an RPG Maker game, so the gameplay is pretty much exactly what I expected.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players have mixed feelings about grinding in the game; some find it necessary for progression, while others feel it detracts from the experience, leading to frustration and aimless gameplay. The absence of clear quest guidance can exacerbate the grinding experience, causing players to spend excessive time leveling up without a clear direction.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “It really rubbed me the wrong way; I couldn't finish the game because I just started escaping every combat since I knew grinding experience didn't matter.”
    • “I rather enjoy it, but the lack of a quest system telling you what you are supposed to be doing led me to a point where I didn't know where to go, and I spent a few hours grinding my levels.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has been reported to be quite buggy since its early access launch, with issues such as sprite errors and frequent freezes upon startup. While many users still recommend it, the stability concerns are significant and may affect the overall experience.

    • “Buggy since the start of the game, sprite errors, etc.”
    • “I highly recommend this game, but I do have some problems with it. It's in early access, so it's pretty much going to be a little buggy at times.”
    • “Honestly, I would love to play this game, but sadly it just completely freezes when I start it up. Some help would be nice. ^^ 7/10”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is hit or miss; while some players find it lacking overall, others appreciate the cute art and occasional funny moments, particularly in a familiar card game element.

    • “The art is cute and there are some funny moments, plus there's a card game that seems somehow really, really familiar.”
  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is frequently criticized, with users noting that it suffers from poor performance issues, largely attributed to the limitations of the RPG Maker engine.

    • “Of course, it has terrible performance because of RPG Maker from time to time.”
  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While the character designs are praised for their cuteness, the reviews do not provide substantial insights into the depth or progression of character development within the game. The focus seems to be more on aesthetics rather than narrative or emotional growth.
