- This game is amazing, potential, and more beautiful about the battles, and point and click adventure style. The main character is awesome for the weapon is a broom. This is the best RPG Maker game of 2019
- Playing this was an absolute joy! Every second of it! From the battle system to the visuals and to the dialogue, everything felt just right. Perfect, even. The animations, especially, were really lovable. Lastly, the battles were really fun and engaging. Allowing the player to talk, interact or attack, was absolutely genius!

I love Arthur and Starsio! Awesome work, can't wait for more.
What an amazing effort. The art and animations were really impressive. The combat was really fun, in a scripted Underworld kind of way. I don't think I really understood a lot of the stats and moods and things, and I need to go back and see what the skills actually do, but every battle was unique and interesting. I also found the clumsiness of the heroes quite charming. I mean, a water bottle? That's just so lame it's adorable. I just need to know, is Starsio okay?
Edit: Wow, went back and there is even more to this game than I saw. The battle system is pretty deep and interesting, and battles have alternate pathways to pursue that seem to have different effects on the game. The work put into this must be insane!
Thank you for this thoughtful review! There are several ways a single battle can be concluded, indeed. I am glad you got to experiment with that. I am planning to release an updated demo that includes a Help file accessible in-game to refer to the various mechanics and how they affect gameplay.
PS: Starsio is not ok ):
This is a game with a lot of love, charm and potential. It deserves to have more eyes on it. If you're reading this, definitely give it a go.
Thank you so much Ghostie! I appreciate your support so much! <3
