How it feels

A fast-paced, combo-focused JRPG with epic battles, lots of exploration, and a crafting system that keeps you busy for many hours.

What players say

Players call it a generous free RPG with a charming look and a novel character-aging feature, but the story feels clichèd and the gameplay too easy, with freezing bugs, no in-game guidance, and niche appeal. Reviews split on whether the QTE combat is a highlight or a frustration.
