Okay, I tried to give it a chance. It is certainly very charming and is interesting for its time. But I grinded for hours and still couldn't walk through the map without being slapped by the monsters. You grind a lot, money is very difficult to get, since you need to grind even more. After the first couple of hours, it gets more interesting because you can finally go a little bit further away from the starting spot but then came the worst thing after grinding: you only save in the starting spot, so if your a long way from it and needs to stop playing, you're screwed. And then we realize that the items are very cryptic to find, and it is difficult to know where to go and the items are too expensive...
Yes, the game has a lot of problems, even though it's quite charming. I wouldn't recommend it, it's not worth the time it wants us to spend on it.

I really tried with this game. Scouring through Gamefaqs, saving dungeon layout JPGs for quick access... but it's really just a lot to slog through. It was interesting to see what was basically The First RPG but it's also illustrative of how far the genre has come.
