Short But Memorable
Finally getting around to completing this one, and we clocked in at 7 hours total - for that length, I'm willing to overlook a lot of minor grammatical issues and story pacing. Here's what worked: -The story feels like Suikoden-lite: there is a larger conflict (I'd say more like an invasion) and your little band of plucky young upstarts is woven into the intrigue and fighting over time. -You don't recruit, build bases, or have the large siege battles, hence the "lite" element. And due to the runtime, stories are wrapped up quickly and no idea overstays its welcome. -The writing is decent, even if a few notes fall flat. Characters do reveal a lot in their arguments with each other, takes on specific happenings, and their relationships with other story characters do have some resonance. For a shorter game, this is pretty well done. Again, barring some minor grammatical/thematic missteps. -There are no side quests, but you can get collectibles in the form of hidden secret items, and weapons/armor types. -Enemies don't drop gold. Instead they drop loot you can sell for profit. This is apparently the first in a trilogy, the second is already out and takes place 10 years after this one. There is also a DLC Howl of the Ravager which tells the backstory of a major NPC (I need to get around to it myself). What didn't work (other than some writing) is the last boss. This fool is TOUGH and the game doesn't prepare you well for it. Try to be close to level 30 and pay attention to abilities that allow you to control the entire battlefield and you'll be fine. If not, there's always YouTube. So enjoyable, short, minor issues, usually on sale. I can recommend this as long as folks aren't expecting AAA quality. Nice way to spend my weekend.
