This is not an objective review. This is one of my favorite games for the PS1. And yet I've never beaten it.
Another reviewer, Rensie, accurately remarks that the game "oozes coziness and style" and that the worldbuilding for just one town and a tower is robust and thoughtful. The story and the characters are fun and diverse in as much as a 90s Japanese game can be. And thanks to the menagerie of monsters you can collect along with the procedurally generated, though simplistic, levels this game never really gets old. It can be punishing, but all the effort you put into it really pays off as you see your community prosper because of you.
