This game is good?? This game is really good. Wow.
I was expecting this to be funny, but the script is way better-written than I was expecting from the demo. It's well-plotted, the minute-to-minute writing is excellent, and I was so invested in every one of the characters.
Combat is where a lot of indie RPGs fall flat, but SLARPG plays great. Although the battle system is mostly very traditional, the "star point" system that encourges you to play towards a character's strength works very well. The skill design and balance is very well-done; it's a joy figuring out synergies between the different characters' skills. The difficulty level is overall pretty easy for experienced players, but that's not a bad thing and it's easy in a way that still requires players to put in a lot of thought.
I've played a lot of "first RPG Maker" games that were good but not great. This isn't that - this is an exceptional RPG by any metric. Even if you don't like super lesbian animals.
