I backed this game and got my copy on the least optimized system (Switch) and there's just too many problems right now. I say wait a month or two then come back. It's not that big a deal for me tbh, I already waited this long for a new Suikoden-esque game.
It's just like Suikoden, except instead of Suiko it's Eiyu
I kinda like it more than Suikoden 2
Right now there are too many issues with the game's graphics. There is a really huge issue with higher quality textures loading right in front of you on the Steam version. This wouldn't have been a problem if they didn't decide to go for the heavy post processing effects and making the game in Unity.
It's even better to wait cause I could just play the game with a better fan translation as well. Sad I have do this for a game I've been genuinely excited for

Was vibing pretty hard with this game despite some minor gripes and lacking QoL. Then the main hook of the game kicked in (At around the 9-10 hour mark) and the narrative/pacing quality spiraled downward so rapidly that I've opted to shelf the game for a bit to play some other stuff.
Sad to say it honestly, was really enjoying it.
That said- nice music and really nice presentation with some charming characters.

I got to play this game a few days before launch and I'm already 15 hours in, I can definitely say that this game is literally a suikoden game. There are many things you'll recognize if you're a suikoden fan like me. The difficulty has been improved A LOT which was basically the weak point of suikoden. I really like lian her conversations they're so good, tbh I don't get the translation hate I think it's really fun, don't listen to the haters they have brainrot and are actually insane about it. I don't think I'll like seign and jowa better than jowy and riou though. This might be the best looking HD2D game so far, the game doesn't have annoying filters like octopath and triangle strategy, it's easy to read what's going on the screen unlike squares HD2D games. the characters are very expressive to be a HD2D game which I really like, it does a lot to make things feel alive. The blur might be annoying sometimes especially when they blur the place you're walking to, bruh why blur the thing you're focusing on it's so annoying, it feels so uncomfortable to look at it's like having bad eyesight ( I found out I can turn it off yippie ). I will update my review when I get further
