It really adds to the immersion and makes some of the boss fights much more fun because you coordinate your attacks around the support character. This mechanic is probably one of the most unique things about this game. No grinding Satisfying Story Costs $3Neutral: About 3 Hours LongCons: No post-game content There's a bug where the "Defeated" message will be faintly visible if you kill an enemy before it disappears. The amount of stat boosts from examining items and the amount of "boss assistance" seems to taper off later in the game SummaryI thoroughly enjoyed this game and hope the developer is able to make a sequel or some sort of DLC in the future.. This is a game I personally waited forever to get on sale, and I finally caught it, and even though it is short. This is an enjoyable experience. It felt a little rushed especially after the half way point, but it's a person's first attempt at a game as a single producer. For a solo project this isn't half bad.. I very much enjoyed this game.It reminds me deeply of classic RPG's from the 90s.Whilst it is only about 3 hours long, it was engaging the whole way through. Combat was tactical and satisfying, with the ability to decide just how you want to approach it. What I especially enjoyed is that whilst for one area you may find a dominant strategy of attacks and skills, it wont remain an unbeatable combo forever. This means there is a good reward for discovering good strategies, but it doesnt lead to an easy and therefore boring game. The final area and boss don't mess around, and I won only by the skin of my teeth with smart play, which felt great!Also given that there is multiple weapon types there is probably at least 3 if not more different playthroughs you could do emphasing different gear and weaponsets.. My only issue with the game was the choice of font, but other than that I loved it. Not only did the main chartacter have a good personality and cute quirks, the NPC's also had unique traits that made them more than a background piece. The mechanic for rewarding exploration with stat boosts was also a cool concept.. This is a game I personally waited forever to get on sale, and I finally caught it, and even though it is short. This is an enjoyable experience. It felt a little rushed especially after the half way point, but it's a person's first attempt at a game as a single producer. For a solo project this isn't half bad.
