6/10
the core gameplay is simple, but pretty fun. the option to negotiate vs fight didn't tie into the storytelling that much, but it was nice for the gameplay variety, and a good way to encourage multiple playthroughs. the presentation was basic but effective; I think the game could've used a more atmospheric background rather than just a solid color, but the character art was very charming!
I went back to play your other Magical Oblivion games after getting the 3 endings in this one, and I can definitely appreciate the unique approach this one takes, though my personal favorite is either MO2 or MO3.
