What players say
It's a really great RPG, with strong moments. My favorite part is that it really gives the feeling that you're becoming stronger not only by the main characters but by creating a community to help each other.

Charming little 3DS JRPG. Solid art, decent gameplay, though marred by random difficulty spikes. Need a controller to play, though I really liked it both on Desktop and Steam Deck. If I recall right I had to go into Nvidia Control Panel to lock FPS as otherwise it was attempting to run at as high a framerate as possible.
Honestly, I don't understand the hype for this game. The combat is just...not fun. You can auto-battle your way through most every random encounter. But then some bosses are insanely hard. The scale in difficulty, from sheer laughably easy to "what in the hell were the developers thinking", is a big blotch. On top of that, none of the character's stats are explained very well. I found the physical skills to all be...
