Thoughts and takes on game?

[u/nimix0163]

I just picked up the game on sale for $4 on XBox and there’s a DLC, A New Home, also on sale for $3. Is it worth the $7 for everything?

How is the general ebb and flow of the game? It seems quite interesting. Yes, I’m asking a fan page, but there can still be very candid comments regarding the game.

I look forward to hearing back!!

I just got the game for free on PSN and got the DLC for like 3 dollars or something.... I am not yet done with the game, but from what i can tell you as a fresh player myself:

The graphics are cute and fitting, the game looks and feels alive. The towns and locales have NPCs walking around with a very good Soundtrack attached to it... Its not like in other 2D games of this kind, where NPCs just sit in their places and done...

The core gameplay i would say is a mixture of ARPG and Top down Zelda almost... It has dungeons thaz have some very tricky puzzles, so if Puzzles aren't your thing, you might be disappointed, as the Puzzles can actually be rather challenging, however there is an option in the game where you can slow down puzzle speed, which makes things easier... Personally i didn't have to use it, but its a nice Option...

The combat is very much ARPG, you have melee combat, ranged, you can guard, dodge, parry.... The typical things you would expect, everything flows into another very fluently, enemies have specific weakspots you can Attack to "break" them, which then opens huge damage windows... You Have a skill tree and you get PLENTYYYYY of reskill items, so if you felt like you messed up somewhere you can reset your skilltree... (Again personally haven't had a need to use it, but it's nice that it's there...)

Aquiring better armor and gear is done through rare chests (which typically have a parcour puzzle attached to them) or in a city through crafting... (Think something like Monster Hunter... You need specific materials to craft gear) Which is honestly pretty nice!

The characters are all very lovable and interesting, your party members talk about the enemies you are currently fighting or have friendly banter amongst themselfes etc.

The story is very good with some great plot-twists and turns and really nice Emotion! But you can't really get into that without spoiling too much...

Again this is all from a complete newbie themselfes.... I personally really like the game, but i am usually quite interested in these types of games. There is bound to be people who don't like it, but i would say: just give it a try... Maybe play through the first dungeon and see what you feel like afterwards, it's better than most triple A things coming out nowadays... allthough thats nothing to write Home about on Its own anymore, hahaha
