The game plays like a simpler version of the Ys series and is heavily influenced by JRPGs. The writing is great, it makes fun of a lot of tropes and turns them on its head. Sadly I wish they spent more time polishing it as I can't rightly enjoy it. The game really needs some updates to fix a combat that started as inoffensive but ended being quite the chore, you level up very fast to the point that I near upgraded all skills and i'm not even close to having played more than 8 hours. What really killed it for me was one quest where the directions were nonexistent and I'm left just to wander and wonder what to do next. Plus the lack of a map makes it so that just trying to find where to go next requires some meandering. I don't expect anyone to write a walkthrough as desperately as this game needs it, I would recommend waiting on one.
