  • gameplay8 mentions

    The gameplay is criticized for being overly simplistic and lacking depth, with mechanics that fail to provide a challenging experience. However, some players appreciate the nostalgic elements reminiscent of classic JRPGs, noting that it offers decent value and hours of entertainment despite its flaws. Overall, the gameplay experience is mixed, with some finding it enjoyable while others feel it falls short.

    • “The gameplay is less of a goal to get porked, and more of a goal to be 'what if a normal JRPG had consequences where sometimes the enemy takes your hoo-hah if you lose.' So it's more than just some internet game, but less than a well-polished JRPG.”
    • “Mechanics-wise, the battles are very easy if you fight decently.”
    • “Gameplay 7/10: it's like good old RPGs, and I played a lot of these kinds of RPGs; the nostalgia kicks in.”
