replayability
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
300%
The game's replayability is hindered by a lack of player control during battles, as users express frustration over being unable to actively participate in fights. While the art and character design are appreciated, the overall experience feels limited, leading to a lower incentive for repeated playthroughs.
- “Even though I hated RPGs and the advertisements of this game that claimed you could jump and do everything like a 2D fighting game, you can't even play. I like the art and pixels, which is what made me give it 2 stars, but all the characters you have are pretty strong and win all the fights. You can't even fight; all you can do is watch characters fighting. If the fights were playable, it would at least be better.”
- “The lack of variety in gameplay makes it hard to find reasons to replay. Once you've seen everything, there's little incentive to go back.”
- “After finishing the game, I felt no urge to replay it. The story and mechanics just don't offer enough depth to keep me coming back.”
