How it feels

A nostalgic, challenging turn-based RPG with retro pixel graphics and classic fantasy combat mechanics.

What players say

Players call this a faithful spiritual successor to the SaGa/Final Fantasy Legend Game Boy games with modern quality-of-life options. The dozens of difficulty toggles let you switch off random encounters or cap total fights, and the detailed mutation and meat systems reduce old guesswork. Some find gold grinding tedious with multiple humans or espers.
