I love this game so much, this is the hardest review I've had to write (and I have been playing video games as long as I can remember).
This is your new favorite 16-bit RPG. There, I've said it. If you love the genre, this will take you back there and blow your mind like it first did. If you don't, then this just might change your mind.
Bear with me here, because while game tells a classic story - good versus evil, fate of the world in the balance, a society with great magic capability but also facing a huge danger from that power - the brilliance is that it approaches in a very, very fresh way that's still true to its predecessors. Characters come, go, and return again as the plot weaves in and out of your point of view, building a whole epic in more than what one character alone could experience.
The dungeons come in a variety of flavors - the puzzle-heavy ones, the combat marathons, but they're all good and all feel like they are a step in a longer journey. Every main character is fully developed. They have their flaws and strengths, their funny moments and their low moments. Though it's a rather long game for a one-person dev team, every part feels necessary and complete.
It's just a damn fun game, but once you get past that, it's also damn near perfect.
This game is on a professional level, I loved every second. I would highly recommend this.
Hi! I just tried out a few things myself just to make sure I see what you see. If you have the game set to full screen, try pressing the f3 key on your keyboard, that toggles the game's size with borders. I hope this works for you!
This game understands how to use the shape of a classic RPG to tell a lovely personal story with a beating heart. I had a great time with it, I'm glad to have lived in its world for a while.
This is the real deal. A solid 15+ hours of extremely Working Designs and Falcom energy.
