How it feels

A frantic, comedic race against the clock where you frantically grind, level up, and reset time over and over in bite-sized retro JRPG chunks.

What players say

Players love the frantic 30-second timer that forces fast decisions, though some argue the game is more of a puzzle than an RPG because you constantly reset the clock and start each quest from scratch. The humor and parody of JRPG tropes are widely praised, but the long dialogues can be grating. Fans of the original PSP game will find more of the same.
