How it feels

A lighthearted, colorful fantasy RPG that parodies classic JRPGs with playful combat and a cheerful retro aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise the writing as self-referential and funny, packed with puns and fourth-wall breaks that satirize JRPG tropes. The class system lets characters master multiple jobs quickly, and status effects stay useful against bosses. Combat is fast and rewarding, with full heals on level up keeping the pace up. A 25-30 hour game for $10, though one reviewer finds the intro slow and linear.
