Me lo estoy pasando poco a poco, pero ha sido una sorpresa enorme. Quería meterme en los dungeon RPG y este, además, por apariencia y por alguna cosilla, parece coger inspiración de los Shin Megami Tensei antiguos

This is such a weird game for me. I have no idea what to rate it because while in hindsight, I think that what I played of it (I got to the third main boss I think?) didn't really do anything that new, I can't say I didn't enjoy it. I ended up quitting because I kept dying at that boss and I just wasn't motivated enough to play anymore since everything was so repetitive and none of the stories for the bosses really stuck with me but it had a lot of potential. The art was awesome, the combat was fine, the story was... there, I guess. Besides that, gameplay and environments were just the same thing over and over again and a lot of the assets were just recycled from Experience's other games. It was obviously made on a budget so I don't get why it's so expensive (and no, being a long game alone does not warrant that hefty a price tag).

Basically, I kind of liked and disliked a lot of the same features at the same time. Plus points for letting me have Kazuo Yashiki from Death Mark (a much better Experience game) in my party, minus points for letting me have Kazuo Yashiki from Death Mark in my party as a cardboard cutout that heals me occasionally instead of actually coming up with new and interesting characters who contribute to a gripping story. I dunno, maybe it's just because I like plot-heavy games but a bit more originality in general couldn't have hurt.

Man I really really enjoyed what I played of this game.

Unfortunately I haven't picked it up in quite some time due to irl getting in the way and now I forget where I was and what I was doing so I'm going to shelve it for now and come back to it another time.

I really enjoyed the game, the art is wonderful, the soundtrack is also good, the combat is functional and the story is ok. But it's really worth playing.

Played time: 30hrs

Pros: Cool setting, Easier DRPG for starters to the series, Soundtrack, Character/Enemy Artwork, Game tells you exactly what to do/where to go, Luci

Cons: Maps can be annoying, Not enough skills or room for proper builds, Gear is annoying to grind out, Not enough enemy variety, Postgame was a grindfest with little reward

Overall: 7/10 for a DRPG - Definitely a good game overall
Main game is worth finishing, Postgame is bad.
