Battle Chasers: Nightwar

내 겜취향은 한결같아, 한거 또 하고, 한거 또 하고 이러고 있네, 이거도 한 5년전에 다 깨본거 같은데 그 계정이 어딧는지 모르겠다... 턴제 알피지 게임이고 여튼 이겜 재밌어요.

I bought the game 4-5 years ago but it wasn't good for me at the time. Late last year I gave it a second chance and I haven't regretted it. As I get older I'm starting to play turn-based games more and more, and this is one of the first JRPGs I've played and finished. The game is great, has a good story and good character development. The battles are good, the only problem I had was the last one, a bit too hard. I didn't encounter a single bug in the game.

主线过短 烂成就 纯纯浪费时间 一周目难度太低了 不是做成就谁玩二周目

I always had problems getting into turn based combat games. I prefered the fluid combat of Devil may cry -or- God of war type games. This game kind of reminds me of the older Final fantasy games...and that's a good thing. The game has A LOT of lore and I enjoyed exploring it so I'm not gonna be too long...BUT this game was very very fun. It's a good game for turn based combat beginners like myself and has so much content that in my 55 hour long gameplay i unlocked maybe 70% of achievements and lore... I will come back to this game eventualy it has a very good replayability. Try it out you won't be sorry.

Amazing game. Got me through some tough times. That ending tho! 9.5/10

Straight forward really enjoyable RPG. Nothing I haven't seen before but everything is good. The graphics are good, the levelling and upgrades are nice. Difficulty feels about right and the story clips along at a good pace.

Slow combat, slow progression and BS "difficulty"

The game has some nonsensical design decisions: 1) The giant armored golem has less health and defense than the little girl wearing a cape. 2) The skilled warrior wearing plate has less health and defense than the little girl wearing a cape. 3) Bestiary entries only provide qualitative pieces of information regarding the monsters, despite the fact that you can easily see their HP in combat. Everything's represented by a bar or by qualitative terms like 'fast, medium', etc. - meaningless when it comes to trying to determine their effects. 4) The game's systems are completely at odds - you're rewarded for defeating enemies quickly or taking no damage in a combat with more XP. However, the game's overcharge system encourages you to use standard JRPG attacks first so you can conserve mana when using abilities. This actually slows battle completion, as it's more efficient to use high-damage mana-draining attacks right as soon as possible. The system should've rewarded resource management and conservation instead, as that is what is encouraged by the overcharge system. 5) Battles are incredibly slow with no option to fast forward or skip animations, requiring you to sit there and watch your characters perform battle and victory poses. 6) It's clear the designers wanted to avoid things like 'random' or 'trash' battles that many (J)RPGs utilize in order to encourage resource management, and possibly to avoid grinding. So, they've placed visible encounters on the map at various places. However, enemy strength is not commensurate to the rewards you receive in addition to the slow battle speed - for example, taking down one slime with three characters, on average, grants a total of 60 XP split amongst party members and can take upwards of 2 minutes. When each character requires 700+ XP to level this is just pointless. 7) Shoehorned crafting - just stop with this garbage. Not every game in the world needs to have this trash. 8) Fishing - it's a JRPG, it has to have fishing, right? No. The art style is cohesive and beautifully done and the voice-acting is fine. Some of the exploration areas have really cool secrets to find, with a little effort. That just doesn't make up for the slow, unrewarding battles, silly JRPG sensibilities and clashing systems. Sadly, this game is yet another example of presentation being put ahead of mechanics.
