This game takes quite an innovative pick on the ARPG Genre. To wrap this game up short: the story is told in an interactive novel style, which means you run through a rather short story progression making choices that lead up to 24 different endings. Therefor the story of course changes as well, everytime you reach an end you unlock a new secret that allows you to go up the skill board. You are then send back to the first point where you could pick a new way and go through it again to unlock all the secrets behind the war that is thought in this game. So first I think we should name the weaknesses of this game: - it does have slow downs from time to time so the developers have to iron out some bad code here - each sub story is relatively short - the environment is rather dead So now with that out of the way the strong points of this game: - the battle system is ace, I wish other ARPG had such a well done fighting mechanic it is fast and the controlls are top nodge - everytime you go through a story new enemies appear to keep the variety since each enemy has different ways of defeating it - the characters are extremely cool - the artwork and the design of the whole game can only be described as beautiful, the atmopshere is great - the story keeps you on your feet, you really want to unlock all different sub paths to figure out how things may end for the better - the skill system is not bound to primitive grinding, there is only so much you can do and in order to get more exp per battle you have to perform longer combos, how do you that? By not getting hit so the better you become in actually using the battle mechanics the easier it'll be for you - Sword upgrades and gem upgrade system is great, the further you get and the more you unlock the more you can alter about your character and your abilities - the music is pretty awesome, well done. Everytime you run through a story you feel rewarded. For the bargain price of 14€ this game can only be a recommendation.
