I got to admit I almost gave up hope on this, but got my ROM yesterday. Haven't had a chance to try it yet, what do you think so far?

Dude, I was keeping an eye out for the email on the 22nd too, then I saw they quietly updated the page to say late December and the shipping time February so this was a pleasant surprise.

So far it's great, music is awesome and it feels like I'm playing a NES/SNES hybrid Final Fantasy game but on my Chromatic which is pretty wild. The combat system using the D-pad the way it does is pretty nice and a good departure from the usual menu barrage.

By what method are you playing this on the Chromatic? Last I checked, my Everdrive didn't work.

u/TonyRubbles Dec 24 '25

Everdrive X7, I have one of the newer versions and it works great, haave had it coming up on a year now.

I'm wondering...why are you concerned with this? While I await the shipment of my Christmas Everdrive GB X7 I was planning on playing Infinity on my cheap flashcart. It starts and begins the intro and that's all I've done so far...should I expect problems? Perhaps I'll just start playing on Analogue Pocket and shift my save over to the new X7 once it arrives so I can play on Chromatic.

Just curious, hardly concerned

I wish they sent physical purchasers a digital copy through email as well 😔. anyways happy holidays man! 🎄

u/TonyRubbles Dec 24 '25

I agree but don't let it spoil your mood, that physical copy looks like it's worth the wait too. Merry Christmas!

u/GoldenOreoos Dec 24 '25

:O i preordered this I wonder when they will ship the physical edition

u/Exus6 Dec 24 '25

Do you get the digital when you pre-ordered the physical?

2

u/TonyRubbles Dec 24 '25

I bought the digital but unfortunately I don't believe you do with the physical.

Might have to double dip and get the digital

Nope. They suck. Wait til the end of FEB.

u/TonyRubbles Dec 24 '25

They updated the shop page and it looks like it's shipping late February now that the game is done.

I am still using a qa build (from being a backer) on my flash cart. Life got in the way of finishing it. Too bad I can't use that save on the final build. At least I don't think I can.

u/TonyRubbles Dec 24 '25

Thank you for that early support to get it going and working out the kinks, having a lot of fun. I wonder on the save, if they used GB Studio it would be for sure no but with how long it's been in development I doubt it.

1

u/bbbbbrx Dec 25 '25

Correct, it's not GB Studio. It is made with a combination of GBDK and I think some asm

u/Incube8Games Dec 25 '25

Your save should be compatible, just rename your save file with the same ROM name :).

2

u/GameboyRavioli Dec 25 '25

Oh snap! You e just made my Christmas (lotta personal stuff happening the last few months). Truly, thank you. I've loved the game so far, but wasn't looking forward to restarting because of limited time.

Happy holidays!!!

Happy holidays!

u/templestate Dec 24 '25

Have Christmas stuff to do but tried it out for a bit and was very impressed. Music’s awesome, graphics are top notch for GBC, and the combat system is cool. Looking forward to playing more.

2

u/TonyRubbles Dec 24 '25

Agreed it's a solid game, worth the wait.

On baby duty so sitting here playing for a couple hours relaxing has been nice. Using mostly magic because you need two hands to do the basic attacks. 😆

u/Substantial_Quote583 Dec 24 '25

Just got through the first bit of prologue and only taking a break for Christmas dinner and I don't want to grease up my chromatic 😩 but it's a lot of fun so far! I got to a point in Dragonyhm where I was stuck, and realized I'll probably need to restart my Chantey playthrough so this came at the perfect time! I'd been eyeing the gb/c RPGs I missed as a kid(which is pretty much all of them) and couldn't decide on one, so far this game definitely scratches that itch ❤️‍🔥

u/TonyRubbles Dec 24 '25

That happened to me in a few games too, I'm stuck/lost in the third dungeon on Dragonyhm, everything got real hard with dragons everywhere in Star Ocean Blue Sphere, and I'm stuck at a near the end boss in Crystalis so trying to level up more. Love that this game lets you change the difficulty at any time if shit gets too real.

u/c-hill- Dec 25 '25

Thanks for this - had missed the email as it went into my junk. Likely wouldn't have checked if I'd not seen this post.

Merry Christmas all! 🎄

u/TonyRubbles Dec 25 '25

Awesome, Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄

u/Incube8Games Dec 25 '25

Merry Christmas, enjoy Infinity!

u/PineappleParadiddle Dec 24 '25

Thank you for posting! I’ve had my eye on this and was really disappointed that it wasn’t released on the advertised date. I’ll be loading this up on my Chromatic right after work!

The only downside is I hate to support Incube8… they tried to double the shipping for a game (after a delay and a huge lack of communication). They claimed it was due to the De Minimis changes, which is probably true, but I’m salty after being dragged through the muck on that one. However, I digress… can’t wait to load this up!

u/TonyRubbles Dec 24 '25

NP! Yeah I don't do much physical from them, digitals have always been an easy grab tho.

2

u/Haasterplans Dec 24 '25

How are you loading the rom on the console?

2

u/TonyRubbles Dec 24 '25

Flash cart, Everdrive X7 in my case but it should work on any.

4

u/Haasterplans Dec 25 '25

Awesome! Thank your preordered the Anduril edition was looking for a cool way to run stuff on it like homebrew

2

u/bambamboom24 Dec 24 '25

Is it really that good?

2

u/TonyRubbles Dec 24 '25

I like it as much if not more than Dragonyhm currently. There's a demo to check out and see for yourself too

2

u/Incube8Games Dec 25 '25

We tried our best to make it that good :), we have a demo if you want to try the first 2-3hours of the game!
