Great Game, but a bad PC port
I'll start off with all the negative points:
- The hightest possible resolution is 1920x1080, no 4k but at least a massive upgrade to the original DS resolution
- There is only (exclusive) Fullscreen or Windowed mode, no Borderless Fullscreen
- Keybinds (at least for mouse and keyboard) are fixed, you can't rebind anything
- Some menu navigation sounds can't be controlled via the Ingam sound settings, Windows is already at 2% and yet some clicks blast my ears away
- Translated text is partially cut of in both, menus and dialogues.
- It seems like there's no way to access the settings from within the actual game, so if you missed changing the settings in the main menu, better Alt+F4 out and start it again
- In general, there are also a lot of tiny bugs that might be gamebreaking if you're not careful enough, but it seems like you can avoid that pretty well
So overall, a few more QOL improvements and more time spent on testing the game would have been nice.
With all the negative points out of the way, I do want to really appreciate the people behind remastering the UI, character portraits and especially the soundtrack, you did an outstanding job trying to improve everything while maintaining the original look and feel of things. Very well done!
So, in conclusion, it's nice to see an old game of my childhood again and for 79c I haven't lost anything anyway but you can definetly feel that the development was most likely rushed and there wasn't much time (if any at all) spent on testing it. At least it's playable so I'm still gonna try to finish it for nostalgia reasons.
