How it feels

A playful, whimsical JRPG that feels like a lighthearted anime adventure with silly Shakespeare-flavored humor and cozy turn-based battles.

What players say

Players are split on this Zeboyd RPG. Many love the comedic Shakespeare-meets-magical-girl premise and the tactical combat system, but a gamebreaking save bug in the backstage area and forced party composition draw frequent complaints. Several find the story shallow and the combat repetitive.
