Good story, bad design.

As I write this, I have yet to finish this game, and I am so annoyed with it that I am debating, for the second time, whether I ever will. The story is well done, well crafted, and entertaining with interesting characters. The problem lies in the designs of the various locations. Many of the locations in the latter half of the game are giant mazes in which you are required to run back and forth 3-4 times, just to unlock a single door, and many of these mazes also feature shifting walls which serve only to lengthen then amount of time you have to spend running around the maze. This, in and of itself, I find to be bad enough, but when the maps are hard to read, it makes it even worse. I also find the system for moving these characters to be needlessly involved, forcing you to click on a new location every 3-4 steps, in order to keep them moving, but you also have to find just the right spots in some of these area or the characters won't even move, which can make getting them through a door a near impossible task. This game is a perfect example of bad level design dragging down an otherwise compelling story. I want to see how the story ends, but I get tired of running back and forth for several hours, just so I can open a single door.

Seriously Good

I picked up this game a long time ago on a whim, from a discount bin in a store that I forgot long ago. I found it to be a very good RPG, interesting visually with a nice story. It did everything right, as far as I could tell, but I wouldn't say that It seemed very innovative. This almost makes it ideal to play as an "old school game". Where innovative games may have introduced elements that were better done in later games, this is one of the games that perfectly captures the feeling of this style of RPG without many flaws.

good story and art, poor playability

I was initially attracted to this game because I liked the story, the art style and the promise of a blend of Eastern and Western RPG styles. I played it until about 75% in, during which I liked the story, the cyberpunk/magitek world concept and the slightly anarchic humour. the characters are fun and interesting. however, once I found myself in a situation where I had to backtrack, I couldn't play the game any more. it runs painfully slowly and jerkily, especially in battles. there is only proper music in battles and it is random which music you get. the dungeons are horribly complicated in a repetitive way, avoiding encounters is impossible and there is this unbelievably annoying point-and-click adventure aspect to it that tends to make no sense and suddenly let you know that you needed an item two hours ago but give you no clue as to where it is. I also went through a lot of trouble getting this game to run properly.

Decent game but battles are so slow

Septerra Core is a decent RPG for the PC in the JRPG style. 9 characters to play as and lots of places to explore for items and experience. The quest will last you many hours. Characters attack one at a time or together via magic cards. Attacks are broken up into 3 charges of strength making for some strategic choices. Sound effects are good and while there's not much music in the dungeons what's available in battle and overworld maps isn't bad at all. The problem with the game is the speed of battle is so slow sometimes especially in the first half. The animations and sound effects seem to take forever at times and until they're done you can't do anything or input other character commands while the current character is doing their attack or spell. Later in the game, a card that lets you spell attack all enemies does help to speed things up some (Big Bang and Black Hole are your friends in this aspect), but still it feels monotonous. You can potentially avoid enemies as in games like Chrono Trigger and potentially run away in battle which I often did towards the end of the game because I wanted to finish it already. The other major issue is the dungeons are mainly flipping switches to open doors to flip more switches to open more doors or make ledges. That's about it. Then you get a key item and then you have to leave the area manually in almost all cases. An option to teleport out after you got the key item isn't even offered and would've been nice to have. Again it's a decent game and worth the 99 cents I got it for on a sale, but I don't think I'll be replaying it anytime soon. I recommend you check out video clips of the game online before making a purchasing decision.
