Overall Game Rating: 7.5/10 A very beautifully designed game with a very strong, distinct art direction and a very calming atmosphere to it. Gameplay: 7/10 It doesn't do anything particularly innovative with the autobattling system, but it delivers on a sense of customization through your companions (the yaolings). You can intervene through spells that can feel...mixed on how effective they actually are. Most of...
A fun game with beautiful art. And I love the branching evolution options if your into monster taming games.
I wanna like the game but Auto Battlers are not fun to me. I wanna play the game not watch it play itself.
