The verdict
A short, linear RPG Maker JRPG with retro visuals, a simple story and tough battles. Skip it if you dislike typos, dialogue-heavy pacing, spiky difficulty or softlock bugs.
Great for
Fans of old-school turn-based JRPGs on a tiny budget who tolerate rough edges
Main risk
Brutal early fights, softlocks and typos in a dialogue-heavy, generic RPG Maker game
