The verdict
A very short, cheap RPG Maker JRPG with a nice retro look and music, but an abandoned Early Access demo with 1-3 hours of content and battle crashes. Skip unless it costs pennies.
Great for
Retro JRPG fans and card or achievement hunters who can buy it for pennies and accept a short, unfinished game
Main risk
Abandoned and unfinished: the story hits a dead end after 1-3 hours, with crashes in battle
