Where to begin.

This is a rather weird take on the JRPG genre since it uses what appears to be a D20 style system for various things, on top of character progression that you might find more commonly in things such as D&D and the like. One might think that the two wouldn't mesh well together, but it works surprisingly well, and for the most part is done in a pretty solid manner.

The biggest potential issue with the game for some might be bugs. I encountered a few during my playthrough, one of which was game breaking, but one of the developers got back to me on the forums when I posted about it, and had a fix out within a twenty four hour period and I managed to finish the game soon after.

Overall, I absolutely loved the game. The narrative might be a little weak here and there, but the world building feels well done, and overall it feels no different than any large scale game with narrative branching on that front. I am already looking forward to another playthrough to see how the story unfolds from a different perspective.

There might be a learning curve if you're not familiar with RPG Maker and/or D20 style games, but nothing that I feel would be impossible to get used to if you are willing to put the time into it.

I came in expecting an okay story, and a potentially fun multiplayer. I came out of it with a really good single player campaign, and a passable multiplayer experience. What multiplayer I have played has been enjoyable, but 3/5 games I played yesterday ended with loading screen issues or straight up not finding anyone. I am hoping, since the game has fully launched now, things will pick up.

Would play it again...

If only something didn't make me feel bad for even considering to restart.

10/10, will never play again... Maybe.

If you like Diablo 2, and enjoy a very deep character progression system... This is an extremely fun game. The only complaint I have really heard about it is how long it takes to feel like your character is coming together, but that tends to be an issue with most Action RPGs.
