How it feels

A slow, methodical RPG-puzzle hybrid with a focus on matching spirits in turn-based battles and exploring a dark medieval fantasy world.

What players say

Players find this the original Japanese version of 99 Spirits, requiring knowledge of Japanese to play. The combat is a puzzle where you identify enemy names, which many say gets repetitive and monotonous, though the story and atmosphere are appreciated. Players split on whether the combat is engaging or tedious.
