The best "hardest to love" game ever. It's so good, SO GOOD, but it has so many things holding it back, the anti-intuitiveness the game has make it seem like it is a SNES game. It over complicates what you need to do, you sometimes gets no quest markers, you'll get lost, hell, you probably won't even get the ending right. Performance? It sucks. Everytime in Vermund when there were too many NPCs, fps went to 15-20, legit rivaling Lords of The Fallen perfomance at release. Enemy variation? You don't get many, you'll be stuck facing the same enemies for 60+ hours.

But i can't help but love this game. It's the utmost case of "yeah for sure this isn't for everyone" game, but if you give it a try and find out the game is for you, you'll have a blast.

The main thing i haven't commented on yet and something that sold the entire game for me, was how impactful the combat feels. It feels so good to smash a goblin's head, to cut a stone golem head off his body, to bring down a dragon with sheer brute force, they're something my little brain got addicted to, everything feels so heavy and weighty, i actually like this a lot.

Also, i thought the real ending was really good, got a tear out of me, the story wasn't particularly good but, y'know, these fantasia rpgs rarely have a good story so i wasn't expecting this one to be the exception.

Thanks, Chun-Li, my dearest pawn, for being the MVP until the end of the game.

Please, if you can't now, give this one a try once they release a full edition of it with future content, i'm totally expecting a "Dark Arisen" expansion soon.

I appreciate and highly respect Itsuno's vision.
