  • story
    176 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally described as simple and lighthearted, with engaging characters and a charming world, making it suitable for players seeking a relaxed experience. While some players appreciate the humor and the straightforward narrative, others find it predictable and shallow, with a relatively short main quest that leaves them wanting more depth. Overall, the story is enjoyable but may not satisfy those looking for a complex or challenging plot.

    • “The engaging story is one of the highlights.”
    • “The storyline was engaging and the characters were likable.”
    • “Very polished game with great music, awesome characters and good story that's very fulfilling to play, with some interesting twists in gameplay mechanics.”
    • “The story, while complete, does feel very short; felt like I was just starting to dig into some of the deeper plot mysteries when I noticed that I'd gotten 80% of the achievements, and after that it was a straight line to the final boss who turned out to be who I thought it was because I understand foreshadowing and have played video games before.”
    • “The story, however, left a lot to be desired, being both predictable and shallow.”
    • “Just some boring fantasy game with a mediocre story.”
  • gameplay
    70 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized as simple and accessible, appealing to those seeking a light and casual experience, though some players find it bordering on boring due to its basic mechanics. While the combat and crafting systems are praised for their charm and ease, they may lack depth for those looking for a more challenging RPG experience. Overall, the game is enjoyable for its visuals and music, but it may leave players wanting more complexity and engagement in gameplay.

    • “A nice and simple adventure with cute visuals and rather relaxing gameplay.”
    • “The graphics are charming, the music is so lovely, and the battle/action mechanics are interesting and dynamic without being overly difficult - which is key for a game that wants to call itself cozy, in my opinion.”
    • “Unlocking new skills through gameplay was a fun take, and the duos add a splash of variability and randomness to plan for (though you are also able to turn off the random aspect if you choose).”
    • “It's pretty, but the game itself is sadly extremely basic, and I feel like they could have needed someone with more insight into actual gameplay and narrative design.”
    • “The entire town building mechanic seemed pointless, and I found myself wanting to ignore it completely instead of delving into the endless options the game was giving me.”
    • “Now, gameplay-wise, this is a kind of easy game that is not bad; it just felt to me like that after I played other RPG games. However, it encourages entering fights all the time due to how the experience works, where you need to rest for the night to use it.”
  • music
    54 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its charming and catchy compositions, blending various styles that evoke nostalgia for classic RPGs. Reviewers highlight the seamless transitions between themes, the extensive soundtrack, and the overall polish that enhances the game's cozy atmosphere. Many find the music memorable and integral to the game's engaging experience, contributing significantly to its appeal.

    • “There's fantastic music, intriguing and gradually revealed lore/culture, an engaging combat system (even if it isn't as robust as other similar games), and plenty of other tiny details that are just so much fun to discover.”
    • “How music is handled is also masterful: really enjoyed the transition from overworld to battle theme and back again as they are clearly the same theme(s) but with an energetic beat, and flow with an effortless grace that I know made someone on the programming team cry.”
    • “The art style, the music, the environments, the humor; it's all very enjoyable!”
    • “The soundtrack is over 3 hours long???”
    • “That is so much music for a 20 hour game, wowzers.”
    • “Graphics and sound/music are reminiscent of games in the late 80s and early 90s.”
  • graphics
    48 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The attention to detail and artistic passion is evident, making the graphics a standout feature of the game.

    • “Beautiful graphics and fun story.”
    • “The most standout parts are the graphics and music, the pixel work is fantastic and the music is really catchy, it pays homage to the classics and reminded me a lot of Sea of Stars (which is a huge compliment in my book).”
    • “Graphics are up there with Octopath Traveler and the soundtrack is reminiscent of artists like Toby Fox (Undertale) and Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger); it’s obvious in the game’s detailed design that there was a lot of passion put into this project.”
    • “Nothing but maybe the art style is like a bof so don't fall for that comparison.”
    • “Graphically it's solid, there are fixed camera angles, and a somewhat 2.5D view on the world, somewhat like an Octopath or classic Breath of Fire game.”
    • “Visuals, I see different styles, from 3D models in game, pixel art, and 2D pictures; they look okay, no problems there. The pixel art is mostly used for the character face when leveling up or when checking side quest logs.”
  • humor
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • grinding
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate that grinding in the game can be a mixed experience; while some players find it tedious and overwhelming due to the extensive need for materials and levels, others appreciate that minimal grinding can lead to easier combat. The quick respawn of enemies contributes to a sense of repetitiveness, although some players feel the game manages to avoid feeling excessively grindy overall.

    • “I really want to like this game, but the amount of grinding for levels, money, and crafting materials you have to do just makes the whole experience incredibly tedious.”
    • “Otherwise, it's massive grinding for materials to craft pins to sell.”
    • “Although enemies respawn quickly, making it feel a bit tedious when you constantly run into them in certain areas.”
  • character development
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is praised for its depth and charm, with likable designs and a well-crafted world that allows characters to feel heroic rather than self-serving.

    • “The developers have done a stellar job with the dialogue and character development.”
    • “One hand, the character designs are likable, and the world is well designed and genuinely makes the characters feel like heroes instead of 'kill everything for a goal that only benefits humans' type characters that plague most JRPGs these days.”
    • “Something about the aesthetic, character design, lightheartedness, building features, and even the sound effects are cozy.”
  • emotional
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While the game features some touching moments and is praised for its polish and wholesomeness, many players feel that the emotional impact is somewhat diminished, particularly as the gameplay becomes repetitive after extended playtime. Overall, the emotional aspect is present but lacks depth and consistency.

    • “There are some touching moments, but it does fall a bit flat in that specific aspect.”
