The game is a standard JRPG with turn based fights. The good thing is that world is quite open and you can get to many places and dungeons. There is loot hidden not only in chests but also in many items like tree or rock or pretty much anything so you have to constantly press space bar to not miss any loot. The good thing is that the game can be played with only a keyboard or with only a mouse so you can play it the way that is more comfortable for you. There are many characters both humans and animals and some others that can join your party so it is wise to look everywhere and talk to everyone.

There is also a good option that lets you walk through the dungeons many times to fight enemies but you can also use an option to just go through the dungeon automatically after you cleared it the 1st time and come out on the world map at the end of it. You can also walk from town to town or you can use gold and pay the guy with horses to get you there instantly. So if you want more fights you can go everywhere on foot or if you want less fights you can use fast travel options in the game.

I also liked that each town has some good late game items so there is not a single town that will sell you basically endgame items for everyone and you have to plan and remember where to buy what when you can afford it. The thing that I liked is that there are different enemies in different locations/ parts of world that make sense to the story and the place where you are. I also liked that there is a Rush option in battle menu that just makes all your heroes to attack instead of choosing the attack for each one of them as it helps when you are farming XP. There are also some fun dialogues in the game and fun banter between characters.


To get all achievements you have to finish the game 2 times but the second time felt more like a chore than any fun. The map is not very useful and you only use it to get a general idea in what direction you should move. The really really bad thing for me is that from the middle of the game till the end of the game your main hero is basically useless and even the chicken deals more damage than your hero from that point. If you don’t know before playing that your main hero will be useless you could potentially give him the best items and waste trinkets that upgrade stats on him instead of giving them all to someone else like the best heroine you can have in the party – Barbara.

And while we are at it – yes there are some humans and animals that are just plain better than anyone else you recruit so in the end you will use only them for 90% of the game. While the game praise itself as of having 30 different characters in the end there are about only 10 that are good while 4 of them being more powerful then anyone else. Because of that many characters in my team did participate in 0 battles or participated in few but got 0 kills as it is pointless to use someone that is weak from the start while you get someone that is a few times more powerful.

I really hate it when RPGs makes your main hero useless from some point in the game and also make many of the characters that can join you be pretty useless compared tot he other characters that can join you. Characters have many different skills but in the end all you really need is the spells that heal and cure status effects and skills that makes that character attack multiple times in one round as everything else just feels weak compared to these skills and deal less damage outside of some few special circumstances/bosses. Bosses in the end just throw a waves of enemies at you before entering combat themselves and that waves is the only reason why you want to level up and gear up anyone else than the best 4 characters as if you pick a team to deal with attack from one side you have to pick other team to deal with the attack from other side and the 3rd party to deal with the boss and for boss you will pick 4 best characters so you need to use others weaker ones to just kill some trash mobs. Sadly also the main story is just your typical – save the world from great evil and even worse the most of the side quests are pointless as they don’t give you any XP and only few of them give you any reward.

There is also a DLC that is just the official guide that will tell you where every hidden item is etc. so you don’t have to spam space bar at everything but for me it is pointless to buy something like that and it also makes the game look bad when the developers are trying to sell guide to their game.


I was on the fence with this game but because of the boring main story and useless side quests and of how your main hero become useless pretty fast I can’t recommend this game.

Overall score 4.5/10
