known bug from changing team formation so I didn’t change the formation.
First Impressions:
Definetly RPGMaker in a good way, Character Creator, Unique Biomes, Lots of Space, Cool Party Managemant System.
Mini Essay:
Full screen with music, the title screen looks more like its for a generic RPG than this specific game. Also the volume is astronomical, everything had to be turn down by a minimum of 30% before I could think again. Really appreciated the maual progression on the intro text.
The quest system feels like a random draw from the potential quests available other than the quests given by talking to NPC’s. Reminds me of Monster Hunter a bit other than not being able to return to the map once cleared. The combat system is cool, I really appreciate the initiative system, speed system, and that the turns aren’t timed along with the initiative system. That said there are so many effects going on I started getting a bit dizzy and I had to reload a couple of times when my whole party was stunlocked, near instakilling my mages and healers. Also I didn’t change my party lineup but the priestess after dying was randomly turned into a soldier dude while the other dead party member revived?
The soundtrack was good and the soud effects were excellent. Yours was the first game with smashable pots, barrels, and chest that could be picked instead of simply opened. The footstep sounds syncronized with the steps to a magnificent degree.
The story is interesting and I’d love to see more of it, the little bits of lore that could be picked up created a setting I was excited for and enjoyed exploring. A couple of the dialogue option boxes in the sections where you get to choose a response were dipped below the physical edge of my computer screen so I was unable to read them.
Also I don’t know if it was purposeful or not but unlike the other maps with mobs the Myconid village can’t be left before giving in to demands or fully clearing the map sending you back to the throne.
Very Fun Game, I already replayed it. Waiting for more!
