Buen juego. Buena customización.

要是有官方汉化就好了

https://youtu.be/zHYZuacOIJ0 Presenting a less popularized setting in Welsh mythology is unique enough but doing so with care and attention to RPG trends makes for an excellent complete package.

A charming and relatively small but well-crafted RPG with developed and memorable characters and a successfully built atmosphere. Don't pass this one by - give this game a chance.

It shows signs of this being the developers first real game but it's mechanics, story and characters are all solid enough to carry it. It's a short and affordable turn based RPG that does nothing seriously wrong.

A short-form JRPG, centered around the love story of a cloistered priestess and the solitary beastman who saves her life after mercenaries destroy her temple. It's brief for an RPG, easily beatable in less than 20 hours. There are hints that it might have once been planned as a more sprawling epic, but was trimmed down in development. This was a good move. The narrow scope, snappy pace, and lack of filler allows the story to play to its strength: the heartwarming relationship between the two leads. Both Carys- the priestess- and Bleddyn- the beastman- are likable characters, and their relationship evolves naturally, eschewing both the saccharine and the melodramatic. Most of the game's first half is watching them open up to each other and grow together. The second half dials up the tension with a quest for vengeance, and also the introduction of a third party member who complicates things in ways unexpected. The gameplay is serviceable, nothing revolutionary but some noteworthy ideas. The combat is built around combos; the player characters have a lot of skills to use, and equipment can add even more. The key to victory is to exploit synergies between skills. This is especially important since neither grinding nor new gear will boost your stats naturally, meaning your party will rarely get more powerful, instead getting new tactical options. It's a rewarding system to master; the problem is that once you have mastered it, you'll basically be doing the same thing for the entire game. Here, too, the short length is a boon, as it doesn't allow the combat system to wear out its welcome. In all, it's a very respectable effort, especially for a solo dev making their first game. It's not without shortcomings, including occasionally dodgy scene art and a bit of an unwelcome difficulty spike near the end. But the good far outnumbers the bad, especially if you're in the mood for something short, fluffy, and heartfelt. I hope we'll see more from this developer someday, because she has definite promise.
