Shera and the Three Treasures Reviews

A bit dated in its technical limitations and mechanics, but overall still a game worth playing, with interesting and memorable moments. What I mean with technical limitations, the resolution of the game is rather low, you can fullscreen it but it still remains with those old RPGMaker textures and limitations. You don't even have a proper menu for settings to adjust audio volume, text speed, etc. But despite all the limitations, I found myself genuinely enjoying the story, while a few areas were a bit confusing (Looking at the mazes, especially the deep/dark sections), and a few portions were a bit too grindy, I still enjoyed the combat and gear system. It allows the flexibility of choosing between playstyles in terms of weapon and magic choice, with a few viable playstyles. The game is also very heavy on certain patch related content, in combat and outside of it. Usually losing does not mean game over, just that our heroine has a different experience, and sometimes even branching mission trees, where something is done via a different way/route. A few bosses have 2 or 3 ways of dealing with, same with situations. There is probably also replay value if you want to do a different playstyle and see other routes, but I found myself sometimes reloading old saves to skip the parts around it to experience them. There is also a gallery unlock after beating the story. So, while it probably doesn't get into my top tier list, I would still recommend playing Shera.
