Fantastic indie game

Edge of Eternity was made by a very small team of exceptionally talented people, and the result is a game that's really special and stands apart from cookiecutter jrpgs. For gameplay, they went with a mix of tactical and turn-based combat. There are 4 difficulty settings and two types of battle camera, to allow you to customize your game experience. There are gathering, crafting, and stat customization systems. The devs basically made this stuff optional at the lower difficulty settings, but it can be rewarding and fun. The game's music is amazing, so beautiful and almost haunting at times. The story and characters are absolutely exceptional. The dialogue starts out campy for like the first 20 minutes to lull you into thinking it's "just another jrpg" - then wakes you up pretty fast with some shocking developments. The characters are mulltidimensional and the story will have you reflecting on its themes. The ending leaves you with questions, deliberately designed to get you to think about the answers for yourself. The characters are some of the best that I've ever come across in a videogame, and the writer has an amazing sense of humor. I've teared up from laughing so hard at some points in the story, and also teared up for real at other times. The voice acting is also great, which adds a lot to the character personalities. Have realistic expectations for visuals and bugs. These guys have 1 animator, 1 QA person, issues on unity's side, and covid memes. If you happen to be super unlucky and discover a bug, just drop a line in the official discord and the devs will address it promptly. Overall, this is an indie title worth backing for sure. The devs are hardworking and capable, and geniunely listen to player feedback. They also keep addressing bug fixes and adding content post-release. Even if it's not quite on the level of a big studio title, Edge of Eternity has so much going for it that it's definitely on my list of favorite games of all time.

Disappointing in almost every way

This game trys to be a JRPG, yet everything feels more like an asia grinder that forgot the MMO part. The characters are not very good, I think they have the elements to be interesting characters, but the presentation makes it hard to think about them as more as chesspieces. The story is rather dull as well, and we spent long distances of the game running around doing hunt quests and fetch quests, and the occasionally meaningful quest that trys to give this world a little life and depth. Even those just don't work out since, they all miss the final punch, or a suitable follow-up. Maybe those will be added in the future, maybe not, I won't find out, I played through the game and won't do it again. The world is looking kind of interesting at first, but that feeling goes away rather fast, since the variety is rather small. What this game is lacking, is a soul, you are walking around kind of aimlessly (well you can follow the little yellow dot to the next main quest location), you try to play the game, and it just won't let you. After finishing it, I was really diappointed with the ending as well, and they sequal bait? Not interested...

Missing some updates

Like MarkoH01 said the game missing the two last updates and there's a high chance it won't receive them. Since the devs seem hostile on Discord over GOG customers. And the studio was bought by NACON. (i know it's not the publisher written on this store page) I contacted NACON : to ask if those updates could be release to GOG. I received empty promises. But i learnt a few points ; - The Studio is a small team and right now are working on the sequel of this game : i don't see a reason to not send those updates to GOG. After all they updated the game on Steam and GOG (maybe others stores ?) till the 1.3.1 version for the later. Do not providing those updates because they are working on the sequel isn't my problem and an excuse : i bought a game on GOG and i want the game completely updated. If they can't honor their contract to the end why release the game here in the first place ? The game should be busted from the store : the devs and the publisher didn't respected fully their contract. Furthermore the sequel should be refused here for this behaviour. So my advice is : either do not buy this game OR wait the game completely updated (i could be dreaming)

I liked it. Most of it.

I've heard that people better remember the beginning and end of a story moreso than the middle. Perhaps that explains a lot of the mixed reviews. Well, honestly I think the middle of this game's story feels like where it's the strongest. That's where you get a real sense of how close to the brink of destruction this world is. I noticed something VERY interesting here, something I don't think I see very often, and other writers should take note of: The characters talk at length and passionately about the problems facing the world and the problems its inhabitants have created, yet it's never an allegory for anything happening in ours. The voice acting really carries it. Getting all the worldbuilding requires doing sidequests. But they dropped the ball on the ending. It's like they had to cut out answering all the questions they bought up to meet a deadline, and hoped they could put that information into a sequel. And a thing happens that just comes off as "No? He wouldn't act like that". And the game makes a big deal about getting a certain item, but when you equip it it apparently has no special effect. Oh the gameplay? Yeah it's fine. There are some spots where it feels a bit grindy, and it kind of starts boring, but it picks up a bit once you start getting more magic rocks and moreso once you get your mount, and then more than two characters in your party. The optional objectives keep fights from getting too repetitive. There's a few spells/skills that just seem useless, and translation issues regarding "nexus/case" and some of the subtitles. You really have to take care with gem/equipment buffs, because otherwise Selene will just be way too slow compared to everyone else. The game also has that problem where people act like the world is bigger than it feels sometimes. There's a feeling of being unrealistically walled in by cliff faces, and the "continent" can't be bigger than 10,000km across...and most of it is apparently impassable mountains.
