Play as Phaedra, a girl hungry for revenge. She spent years on the run, honing her skills to confront her brother who shunned her and stole her position as master of Snowfox Valley.My main focus on the game was to find various ways of using sacrifice as a core function in combat. I used a part of my upcoming game Trials of Proelium to speed up the map design process so I could focus primarily on t…

gameplay3 positive mentions
grinding3 negative mentions
  • The game features a unique protagonist, Letha, who has unheroic traits, making her relatable and refreshing compared to typical RPG heroes.
  • The gameplay is enjoyable with a simple, non-grindy structure, allowing players to turn off encounters and explore at their own pace.
  • The environments are visually appealing, and the game includes interesting mechanics like weapon-based abilities and a compelling story with fun characters.
  • The difficulty level is inconsistent, leading to frustrating moments, especially in certain areas like the monkey beach.
  • There are several glitches and translation issues that detract from the overall experience, such as stiff dialogue and gameplay bugs.
  • The story and character development can feel simplistic and one-dimensional, lacking depth in the motivations of antagonists and supporting characters.
  • story
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as simple yet authentic, featuring compelling characters and a heartwarming relationship between the protagonists, Letha and Yoni. While the narrative may be straightforward, it effectively engages players through its quests and character development, allowing for a fulfilling gameplay experience. Overall, the story is enjoyable, though some may find it somewhat simplistic in depth.

    • “The story is simple too, but feels more authentic than most.”
    • “This game has everything I want in a game: a compelling story, fun characters (Sqaulus is hilarious), and a heart-warming relationship between Letha and Yoni.”
    • “The story is fascinating; characters gradually cultivate their feelings when fulfilling their mission.”
    • “So, you can finish the main story line within 12-15 hours, inclusive of completing many of the side quests as well as attain all achievements except for 2/3 of it easily if you like exploring around and interacting with everyone like me.”
    • “After completing the main story line you can still explore around the world too, so while there's no replay value or new game plus, you still have quests to complete if you are a completionist that wants to get all achievements; otherwise, you've reached the end of the game.”
    • “Character-wise, it could be seen as a little simplistic.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is described as fulfilling and features unique mechanics such as cooking, upgradable gear, and in-battle equipment changes. Players find it relatively easy, with a fast leveling system and manageable fights, aided by summons and support characters, although the abundance of side quests can slow progress. Overall, the game offers a streamlined experience with opportunities for grinding and exploration.

    • “The gameplay is really fulfilling.”
    • “It has some interesting mechanics that I haven't encountered before in an RPG, such as simple cooking, upgradable gear, in-battle equipment changes, and weapon-based abilities.”
    • “The gameplay is relatively easy with a fast level-up system (if you turn on random encounters or grind repeatable boss battles). The fights are easy to manage since you can get assistance from summons or other supporting players. By the time you reach the boss fights, you're likely well above the suggested level. It's also easy to grind for gold and loot, as some chests can be re-looted. The map is not too big, making progress fast, although many side quests with boss fights may pop up along the way, which can delay progress but is a plus point.”
    • “The gameplay is relatively easy with a fast level-up system, especially if you enable random encounters or grind repeatable boss battles. The fights are manageable since you can get assistance from summons or other supporting players. Boss fights are also easy, as by the time you reach them, you're likely well above the suggested level. Additionally, it's easy to grind for gold and loot, given that some chests can be looted multiple times. The map is not too big, which makes progress quick, although many side quests with boss fights can pop up along the way, potentially delaying your main quest progress.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the game's approach to grinding, noting that it is not overly grindy and allows for the option to turn off encounters in previously explored areas or against weak monsters. This simplicity enhances the overall enjoyment compared to many other RPGs.

    • “It's quite nice that it's not grindy, and you can turn encounters off if you've already gone through the area, or if the monsters are too weak to give meaningful XP (although I recommend keeping it on).”
    • “The grinding in this game feels endless and tedious, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “I find the grind to be repetitive and uninspired, which detracts from the overall experience.”
    • “The amount of grinding required to progress is overwhelming and takes away from the enjoyment of the game.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While the game lacks traditional replay value or a New Game Plus mode, players can continue to explore the world and complete additional quests, making it appealing for completionists seeking to achieve 100%. However, once the main story is finished, many feel that the experience reaches a natural conclusion.

    • “After completing the main storyline, you can still explore the world, but there's no replay value or New Game Plus. If you're a completionist wanting to get all achievements, you still have quests to complete; otherwise, you've reached the end of the game.”
    • “Once you've finished the main story, there's little incentive to replay. The lack of New Game Plus means that after the credits roll, the experience feels largely complete, leaving little room for further exploration.”
    • “The game offers a vast world to explore, but once the main quests are done, the replayability is severely lacking. Without any significant changes or new content in a second playthrough, it feels like a one-and-done experience.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with players noting that it enhances the experience, particularly with curated playlists available at safehouses. However, some users choose to play without sound, limiting their ability to comment on the audio elements. Overall, the music contributes positively to the game's atmosphere.

    • “Music is on point; you even get a playlist in every safehouse.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is praised for its engaging environments, blending standard RPG Maker assets with a personal touch that enhances the overall experience.

    • “The atmosphere and environments are great too; you can still see the standard RPG Maker assets, yet there is a personal touch to it and much improved.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game excels in its emotional depth, featuring a compelling story and engaging characters, particularly the humorous Sqaulus and the heartwarming relationship between Letha and Yoni, which resonates strongly with players.

    • “This game has everything I want in a game: a compelling story, fun characters (Sqaulus is hilarious), and a heartwarming relationship between Letha and Yoni.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's humor is highlighted by its fun characters, particularly Sqaulus, who is described as hilarious, and is complemented by a compelling story and a heartwarming relationship between the main characters, Letha and Yoni.

    • “This game has everything I want in a game: a compelling story, fun characters (Sqaulus is hilarious), and a heart-warming relationship between Letha and Yoni.”
