In this world, you will learn that being selfish and heartless is the only way to survive...

Ratings and reviews

one of my favorite RPGs ever. the controls for this feel solid on mobile and is a good port. my one complaint would be the game restarts and goes to main menu if you leave the app in the background for too long. mobile games are more suited to a pick up and play style where you play for very short intervals. for this reason, I would recommend not playing the game in Pain Mode (my usual preferred mode) as that limits the amount of saves you have. if that issue was somehow fixed it'd be perfect.

Great game but the save system is pretty poor. If you fall off of the map you have to restart from the last save point which could've been 30 minutes ago and then you lose all your progress. this would be fine for a console game but playing on mobile makes it difficult. Otherwise, it's a dark game with funny moments and fun combat and I would recommend it. Unless you're sensitive to darker topics.

This is definitive edition. Port itself is alright, but lack of optimisation can be felt from time to time. Also sometimes save files just wont happen to appear, and it takes around 40 seconds to load ingame. If you can ignore these cons and wish to get portable experience, then i can recommend you playing this version
