Public Opinion
Overall Rating: 6.8
  • 8This was fun and I recommend it if you're looking for a good 'old RPG. The graphics are aren't amazing but certainly charming. The game play difficulty level is somewhat steep, and thats the biggest complaint I have against this game. Other than that, great job!
  • 7The graphics, music, dialog, etc fit together well, even if some parts are slightly annoying. In the genre of retro, NES style of RPGs, it could be very good. But... it ends just as it starts to pick up. Nonetheless, if you're a fan of these types of RPGs, you should give it a try.
  • 8I just finished the game, it took just over 8 hours, but I did waste some time as I didn't explore the map properly. I really enjoyed this, it is very polished, and if you take it in the context of the style of the game, the art and sound are great. If you enjoy this style of game its worth a play.
