To Aerthen

Only a few hours in but this game checks a lot of boxes for me. It has reassuringly retro visuals - the combat screen will be very familiar to JRPG fans of a certain age. The modern conveniences like dependably being able to run from battle make this a less frustrating experience than those old school games, though.

i love the fact thats its retro styled RPG , this is literally how i started my obsession with the genre, i thank steam for brining some nostalgic gaming back to the old school players.

This is a fun RPG, but it suffers from the same problem as the developer's previous game. Toward the end, the amount of random battles you fight make the bosses too easy. Otherwise, it's still a fun RPG if you want an old school vibe.

Awesome game, I felt the game was surprisingly lighthearted after playing the developer's previous game. I was blown away by the itemization, I was finding new unique equipment all the way even into the final dungeon. Next replay, will definitely try to build the characters I didn't use!

Não comprem. Um RPG de baixo orçamento pra fazer valer o seu tempo precisa ter pelo menos um dos elementos abaixo: 1 - História profunda ou no mínimo bem desenvolvida e que instigue o interesse. 2 - Exploração agradável e recompensadora 3 - Mecânicas divertidas (principalmente se for um RPG cozy sem história). To Aerthen não tem nada disso, é um meme ambulante de história clichê que se esforça o tempo todo pra ser engraçado, exploração ruim e limitada (até quando te dão um navio toda costa que você encontra é cercada por montanhas e você não consegue andar por lugar nenhum). Por fim as mecânicas são básicas de jRPG sem nada fora do comum pra tornar ele diferente. O visual extremamente limitado e com dungeons feias e mal feitas seria facilmente perdoável se a história fosse boa, mas ela é ridícula. É tipo o Gandalf e Sauron, mas fazendo piadas, e a Sociedade do Anel é um monte de personagem estereotipado e sem carisma com diálogos terrívels Tem muita coisa melhor pra jogar no mercado. Ephiam, você pode mais do que isso, sério.

If there ever was a game that needed a place between recommend and not this is it. The gameplay is good, while it's your standard JRPG fare with turn based combat enemies do feel different enough that it never goes stale. The main drawback, and the reason I can only just barely put this as a recommend, is the writing. It tries really hard to be funny but it never is. I can't think there's a single moment in the entire game where there's any kind of serious moment. It's constantly over the top and "silly" dialogue happening. But again, it's just not funny. 6/10 - if you've played every other JRPG and want a new one, give this one a go, otherwise go play something else.

I found this game a very enjoyable experience so far. The tone of the game is rather light-hearted due to the bantering of the cast from the protagonists to the antagonists. In fact, the party are like a dysfunctional family where a few of them will kill each other before they get to the boss. ...And maybe the boss for interrupting them. Gameplay-wise? I enjoy the fact that I can use status effects on the bosses. In fact, the game in general encourages status effects in battles, so I've gotten into the habit of using them whenever I can. Adventurous spirits can find some loot to help them in their gameplay if they explore some areas earlier. ... In fact, I may had grabbed a set of equipment from a boss that I was underleveled for, but after many retries and status effects, the fight was possible. Definitely a worthwhile purchase.
