  • story
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story effectively intertwines the overarching narrative of the esa with the personal journeys of individual characters, drawing parallels to real-world issues like propaganda and the war on terror. While the narrative is engaging and reminiscent of classic sci-fi, some characters, like chronus-13, lack depth, leaving players wanting more. Overall, the game presents a solid space opera experience with unique characters and interesting twists, though some players feel that the integration of story elements could be improved for a more cohesive RPG experience.

    • “It's a good way to handle both the macro story of the ESA and the micro story of individual characters, and motivates the player to fight the ESA even harder.”
    • “We also get to see how the ESA propaganda works due to the news networks framing the story to suit the country's agenda, which is eerily similar to the real-life war on terror.”
    • “The story is much better than in Origins and you get a better sense of what's at stake for those who fight against the ESA.”
    • “I do wish Chronus-13 was more fleshed out, since it feels like the story couldn't decide if they wanted it to be a tool like the fully robotic party members or if they wanted Chronus-13 to truly be a main character.”
    • “Given how story-driven it is, just having an auto button for the conversations, for example, would help immensely.”
    • “I tend to enjoy games that mix genres, but because it feels like it's only included for story elements and to be able to claim it's more than just an RPG, I think it would be better to remove those elements and focus that time and effort on the RPG part of the game.”

    The gameplay is mechanically akin to its predecessor, Origins, but suffers from a poorly balanced shop progression system, leading to inconsistent player experiences ranging from feeling underpowered in early stages to being overpowered later on.

    • “The way shop progress is handled makes it hard to find the balance between being underpowered like in Origins' first dungeon or grossly overpowered like my fully equipped team.”
    • “The game is mechanically very similar to Origins.”
    • “As for the gameplay, the way shop progress is handled, or lack thereof, makes it hard to find the balance between being underpowered like in Origins' first dungeon or grossly overpowered like my fully equipped team.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are noted for their intense and graphic portrayal of death, which adds a significant weight to the game's themes rather than serving merely as a shock tactic.
