tldr The game is too grindy. You yourself are a plain wizard that gets skills every other level without your say so. The 3 girls in your party eat monster souls to become that monster. You can make them change monster at home however you like and they take a max of 2 skills with them to the new monster. Basically you figure out what you want them to be and funnel them there through 1-2 other monsters to inherit …

I've never heard or seen this game before, but it's been absolutely incredible so far, I'm only a few hours in as of this review but if this checks your list as much as it had mine, not just in the standpoint for JRPGs but game design in general, this might be for you, no spoilers btw: - So far a decent premise, a vibrant cast of members, and interesting world building. - A seemingly infinite combinations of …

Mixed feelings on this one. I wouldn't highly recommend it to everyone, but there's definitely some good stuff here. It totally nails the nostalgic feel of the old RPGs we grew up with. The problem is that it might be too old-school for today's players. Adding a few modern QoL features would have gone a long way. Still, if you don't mind a little clunkiness, the plot actually pulls you in, and leveling up the 3 …

Average 6/10 game. Lots of old school janks like escape is not guaranteed, insane low drop rate forcing you to pretty much afk auto attack farm towards the end and stupid annoying quests

일단 그래픽이나 BGM부터 파이널 택틱스나 용기전승 느낌 찐하게 나서 좋음. 초반 스토리는 좀 뻔하고 늘어지는 감이 있는데 본격적으로 게임 시작하고 몬스터 영혼이랑 요정 합체시키는 시스템 열리니까 그때부터 재밌어짐. 나중에는 저 몹은 합치면 어떻게 변할까 궁금해서 몬스터만 찾게됨 ㅋㅋ 고전 RPG 감성 좋아하면 추천

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember playing when I was a kid on Gameboy, couldn't understand a word of it as it was only in Japanese but it was enjoyable gameplay. Back there required insane amounts of trial and error to figure out MP costs and what you magic was and damage, effects etc. Needed to make a ton of notes. Now that I can read and understand it, I am sure the story will make it significantly better. There are a couple translation issues or grammar maybe. Overall so far it's pretty solid port over. The…

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm playing WIZmans World Re;Try, a DS DRPG from Etrian Odyssey dev Lancarse, that got a recent steam remaster. The loc seems solid, and the game itself is really cool! The core conceit revolves around having three fairies who you fuse with monsters to make them into monster girls. The sprites rule.

The protagonist, a young wizard who may be the sole person to have come from the outside, sets out with three homunculi to conquer the surrounding dungeons. The scope is deliberately small — the fate of one dying town rather than the world — and…

I’ve played JRPGs like Dragon Quest VII or Monster Hunter Stories with less compelling starting points. Here, the game gets to the point. There aren’t endless walls of dialogue or scenes that overstay their welcome. The plot is easy to follow and flows naturally. It’s not groundbreaking or revolutionary, but the core premise feels refreshingly different. I genuinely can’t think of another game built around…
