Ratings and reviews

The word count limit alone cannot accurately describe just how I like this game. It's the first RPG that I've ever gotten fully invested in with regards to content and enemy variety. Rewards are lucrative, mechanics are simple yet satisfying, and the music provides SUCH good atmosphere. The one gripe I have about this game is that leveling up is a bit of a drag, but I'm letting that slide because the amount of things you can do outweighs this issue. 10/10, WILL play again.

Like another user said, I want to like it but can't. The controls are what is making me not want to play this. The joystick is too sensitive, and the touch to go option feels limited as I can't move the screen up or down very much. I'm rating three stars though because there's something here to enjoy, but the controls just make it hard to do so.

Want to like it, just can't. Progression stales way too fast and way too much. Has a few QoL issues that are very detrimental. Has a lot to offer, while somehow feeling underwhelming with little options. Grind is always apparent. However, progression helps hide it. Ultimately, it comes down to progression issues. Quests along the seemingly large variety that feels empty hurts. As stated, I would love to love this. The game is neat, unfortunately, not enough.
