I play a lot of rpgs in various forms and I want to start out by saying I liked what I have played so far. I have played up to Chapter 4 in the off line mode. I appreciate that I do not feel like I have to pay to win, even if there are items for sale. I am also very interested to see where this story goes since it is mixing in all sorts of genres, that I did not expect. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a casual type rpg.All that being said, I do have a few things that I already don’t like. None of the systems in the game are very well explained and you kind of learn by trial and error. I still do not know the use for honor points, other than in the shop. Should I be saving them, I don’t know. But if that is the case it punishes me for picking anything other than the honorable choices in the game. As for choices, the game story is very linear in that you are forced through only one path of choices to complete the quests. You just have to figure out the correct order of choices the developer wanted you to pick. But my biggest gripe of the game is the gating. Why can I not earn enough levels to move to the next part of the story without wasting my time in the training area mindlessly grinding battles? And the side questing doesn’t help since it is on a timed unlock. This alone is why I have removed at least one star from my review.
Hi, thanks for your review! I’m glad you like the game overall, even if your rating isn’t high. Let’s go through your points.The game is an old-school RPG, so it’s normal for some things to need exploring instead of being explained right away. This has actually improved compared to a few versions before. I agree that the Honor system isn’t explained well. I’m slowly working on a game guide, but it’ll take some time.As for the story being linear, that’s true, but there are choices that change some events. For example, if you contaminate Hawes' cure, Avery joins the Evil Court, and you fight her on the ship instead of going to the Island. Or another example at the end, you can choose to save Azmar or infect it and become evil, which entirely changes the next Extra Mission.About grinding, that could definitely be a problem. If you’re playing on Novice, experience is a bit lower, but on Veteran, I thought it wouldn't be an issue. Did you have trouble between Chapter 2 and Chapter 3? Some players told me there wasn’t enough experience there, so I’ve already increased it, but I’m not sure if it’s enough. If it happened between other chapters, let me know, and I’ll adjust the experience there too! In the meantime, you can save Honor Points to unlock Extra Missions if you need more experience, as they give more experience than farming in training.Anyway, thanks again for the feedback! I’ll keep working to improve the game even more!
