  • story
    45 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "White Pearl" is described as engaging yet complex, told from multiple perspectives, which can make it challenging to follow due to frequent party splits and pacing issues. While some players appreciate the depth and emotional resonance of the narrative, others find it disjointed and difficult to track, often wishing for better navigation tools and clearer quest guidance. Overall, the game offers a nostalgic RPG experience with a mix of well-developed characters and intriguing plot elements, though opinions on its execution vary significantly.

    • “The story and the characters are all well developed; we have the backstory of all of them, and you could almost connect and feel the way they are feeling at the final moments of the game.”
    • “Despite the numerous characters, each character plays a certain role in the story, and the party split makes them stand out more.”
    • “This game is like Final Fantasy from Super Nintendo; you have all the nostalgia feeling, so if you like RPG turn-based games with an excellent story, you will surely love this game!”
    • “Wasn't enjoying the plot or characters.”
    • “Hard to follow the story and there is no tasks list to keep you on track.”
    • “Hello all, I hate to do this but this game as it is, is awful. Here is why... let’s start with the story and its progression: in one word to sum it up is crap. It is rushed, it does not make sense, it jumps around way too much, and backstory almost every 10 minutes. It could be a good story if the maker went back and fixed it with the help of someone.”
  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the gameplay is generally well-received, with many players appreciating the balance between story and mechanics, as well as the fun and satisfying nature of the gameplay. While some users enjoyed the variety of skills and mechanics in the turn-based system, others criticized aspects like the save system and limited resources in early missions. Despite these issues, the nostalgic feel and engaging gameplay contribute to a positive experience for most players.

    • “The writing is tight despite a few errors here and there, and the gameplay is fun and satisfying.”
    • “Great choice of skills and mechanics; it was so fun! I thought it would be boring to play a turn-based game in this day and age, but with variety, it all changes.”
    • “I was right, the mechanics, look, feel, and even some of the music took me right back to sitting in bed with my SNES for countless hours going through a classic journey.”
    • “It's poor gameplay, especially the save system; you can't save without finding a hexagram symbol, and in the first mission, you can't buy any MP restorers or antidotes.”
    • “Gameplay is decent, but the graphics are just okay.”
    • “The mechanics, look, feel, and even some of the music remind me of sitting in bed with my SNES for countless hours, but it doesn't quite capture that classic journey.”
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players praise its high production value and fitting variety, others criticize it for being derivative, with accusations of directly copying tracks from other games like Final Fantasy. Overall, the music enhances the experience for many, but opinions vary on its originality and impact.

    • “The music is really good and it fits the game perfectly.”
    • “The music itself is extremely varied and I'm impressed with the production value. If this game was fully commercial with original music like in the style heard in the game, I imagine Harry would be rich right now - but still, with what the game is, I am glad he made it.”
    • “Decently challenging combat and leveling, cool music, interesting story with a bit of humor.”
    • “The creator was very respectful to content that is not his (like the music).”
    • “This game just rips off Final Fantasy music, and I mean the exact songs; absolutely disgusting.”
    • “Music 6 out of 10.”
  • graphics
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the artwork and overall visual style, others criticize the quality, particularly in fullscreen mode, suggesting that improvements are needed. The visuals are described as reminiscent of early games, with specific mention of the text and item graphics lacking polish. Overall, the graphics are considered decent but not up to modern standards.

    • “I love the artwork, and the story is pretty good.”
    • “The concept and the lore are pretty good; however, the graphics (especially the text) could be improved quite a lot. To be honest, when the game isn't in fullscreen mode, the graphics look better, but when it's in fullscreen mode, that's where the graphics could be improved.”
    • “Graphic quality is like the first game created for the first time; it shows when you find items and text clues.”
    • “The graphic quality is reminiscent of the first games ever created, lacking the polish and detail expected in modern titles.”
    • “The graphics feel outdated, resembling early game designs that fail to impress in today's gaming landscape.”
    • “While the gameplay is decent, the graphics leave much to be desired and feel subpar.”
  • grinding
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding in this game to be minimal and well-balanced, with plenty of side quests and rewarding rare item drops that enhance the crafting system. While some grinding is necessary, particularly for achievements and leveling up, the presence of recovery points and strategic spots for grinding makes the experience more enjoyable. Overall, the game encourages grinding without making it feel excessive.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “Grinding in this game is incredibly rewarding and keeps you engaged.”
    • “The grind is satisfying and offers a real sense of progression.”
    • “☐ You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “My only advice is to save often, but besides that, this game is much better balanced than most of its kind. Plenty of side quests and difficulty help to encourage grinding, but it is also rewarding with the rare item drops that can be used in crafting.”
    • “- Recovery points for free healing and the best spots for grinding.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is well-integrated, with dialogues that flow smoothly and occasional witty moments that enhance the overall experience. Players appreciate the balance of humor alongside engaging combat, music, and storytelling.

    • “Decently challenging combat and leveling, cool music, interesting story with a bit of humor.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “There's a whole other story in White Pearl that I can't wait to see!”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is described as somewhat buggy, but overall playable, reminiscent of older titles where players received a complete experience without needing additional purchases for content.

    • “The gameplay is about what you can expect; nothing fancy, nothing great. It's a bit on the buggy side, but it's playable.”
    • “I remember when you bought a game, you got the whole thing, not just a fraction of it. Now it feels like you have to spend more money to get a complete experience, and even then, it often ends up being disappointing.”
    • “The game has a lot of issues with stability, which detracts from the overall experience.”
