How it feels

A methodical, story-driven retro JRPG with turn-based combat and a cinematic, heroic fantasy feel.

What players say

Players praise the stance-based combat and customization, but warn not to waste finite crafting materials until late game. The story and writing are called bland, though the developer's quick bug fixes are appreciated. Some say the combat novelty wears off, making the game feel like a chore.
