Trials of Proelium Reviews

Game is as it is advertised. You play as Letha, a good nature protagonist that was brought up by good senseis that have to defeat evil, corrupted bosses(or masters in this case) and be the empress of Proelium to build a better world, alongside with a half-mouse, Yoni, that saved you from the brink of death. You can also play as Yoni occasionally. And yes yuri fans, you can get together with her if you want to. There's quite a bit of romantic options and interactions with her after getting together with her. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] It is a relatively easy gameplay with fast level up system(if you turn on random encounters/grind repeatable boss battles), easy-manageable fights since you can get assistance from summons/other supporting players (yes the boss fights are easy too since by the time you get to them you're likely way above the suggested level) and somewhat easy to grind gold and loots given how some of the chests can be reloot and if you spend your gold wisely, and I would even say it's fast as well compared to other RPG games out there since the map is not too big, though others may disagree since many side quests - with boss fights - would pop up along the way to the main quests which delays the progress (though its a plus point indeed). Though with the different weapon types with its own unique traits you can spend some time strategising which weapon to use in each fight but once you reach level 45 fights is quite easy regardless of the weapon or skills used. So, you can finish the main story line within 12-15 hours, inclusive of completing many of the side quests as well as attain all achievements except for 2/3 of it easily if you like exploring around and interacting with everyone like me. After completing main story line you can still explore around the world too so while there's no replay value or ng+ you still have quests to complete IF you are a completionist that wants to get all achievements otherwise then you've reach the end of the game. [h1]Concerns[/h1] [strike]Story wise[/strike] Character wise... it could be seen as a little simplistic. You can understand the players motives and their personality but it's a little one dimensional and there's not much depth to their personality. Especially for the corrupted masters or the evil characters in the game. I don't understand how they turn evil from their own perspective it was always from another NPC and the NPC's comments doesn't dwell much on it. Oh but they have another game called sisters-homecoming that kind of gave some information of how one of the masters turn out like that. The main and supporting characters was managed better in this department but either way you won't be connecting with the characters and they certainly would not give you much of an impression. Saddest part is the halfbreeds in the game are the most one dimensional and dumb down as well. 1 annoying thing that I can think of is not being able to skip text with your common keys such as 'shift', 'w' and 'ctrl'. At most, you could hold on spacebar/enter or whatever your 'OK' button is and speed up the text slightly. It's not a big deal since there's rarely any repeated texts but it is annoying when I accidentally press on an option I didn't want to and have to let it slowly run again. [h1]Buy or don't buy?[/h1] So with all these, I would still recommend people to try this out. It has many quests in each districts that you can enjoy, it resolves some of the pain points of RPG where you can choose whether you want to encounter enemies or not(and you can change it even after you chose it), there are different weapons style you can use to fight with, there's a gacha in the game where you can get random (rare) items from it for a price so the game got more fun with that and there's yuri. The dev is also very responsive in answering inquires and resolving issues. So get the game perhaps when it's on sale and the experience you get would be worth the money you spent. [i]The ending of the game though...dev giving us a heart attack for sure.[/i]

Love the game but pls hire better translators - the dialogue is a bit stiff and clunky

not worth it for the full price, get it when it's on discount. It's a nice change of pace from other games, kinda cute & fun for a while.

a bit on the short side, but it was fun. being able to switch equipment in order to switch the availible skills for Letha was also kinda neat. reminds me of the Pre-GU hack games. equipment in those games would also affect what skills you had on you. Oh and... word of advice... There is one jumpscare in a certain abandoned house. Avoid resting in there.

This was an enjoyable game. Not too hard or too easy and all the achievements were reachable if that's what you're into. I don't care for that myself. I never play a game with sound on so I can't tell you about the music or voice work because I didn't hear it but the game was fun enough to keep my attention until the end. If you like this type of game like I do, I recommend it.

This game has everything I want in a game: a compelling story, fun characters (Sqaulus is hilarious) and a heart-warming relationship between Letha and Yoni. It's fun sailing around the world and coming across different characters and situations, and gives a feeling of satisfaction when you help them with their problems. All in all, it's a fun game that will certainly be worth your time.

Heya Krusti, Is this story officially canon to Final Revelations? All jokes aside, I am really enjoying this RPG game. I have played quite a few RPG maker games like this and I must say that this one is more enjoyable than most. I wouldnt say its extraordinary or one of the best as it remains a simple RPG game, yet this simplicity is what makes it enjoyable. I like that the intro doesnt take that long and no convoluted stuff needs to be learned. Then after a short introduction you are free to roam the small world that is Proelium. Its quite nice that its not grindy and you can turn encounters off if you already went through the area, or the monsters are too weak to give meaningful xp (although I recommend keeping it on). I also like that the skills change depending on your weapon of choice. The battles are standard for this game, turn based, nothing out of the ordinary. The story is simple too, but feels more authentic than most. And the puzzles/quests are very simple to follow (no worries, I wont rate it 3/10 because of story and puzzle, sorry for the joke ;) ). The atmosphere and environments are great too, you can still see the standard RPG maker assets, yet there is a personal touch to it and much improved. I really liked the way the different environments looked. So in the end, the simplicity is what makes this more enjoyable than most RPG's and less grindy. However the same fact also makes it not the most memorable or the best (like trails in the sky or the earlier Ys games)

Cute, but mildly janky. I like how Letha is not just the generic save-the-world protagonist, but she's got a couple of unheroic traits (my favorite part being the master of the snow land). On the minus side, the difficulty is all over the place (are you sure level 10 is enough for the monkey beach?), and there's a few glitchy pieces (for example, you can bring Samuel to the academy's master, causing Squalus to not fit in your team). Would've voted neutral if I could, but. (Also, Letha should've totally objected to the word half-breed and proposed replacing it with demi-human.)

It's not a long story but the gameplay is really fulfillig. It has some interesting mechanics that I haven't meet before in an RPG (simple cooking, upgradable gear, in-battle equipment change, weapon-based abilities). The main characters are nice, I like Yoni. Side-ones are great too, they got quite a few laughs out of me. The scenes are good-looking, each island has it own aestethic and folks, which is great. Music is on point, you even get a playlist on every safehouse. All in all, it's a complete game. The only issue I found is that random encounters are reaally upsetting, too many. They don't leave much room to explore and turning them off is not an option since I like to get buff before fighting bosses, hehe. Good game, must have if you like girl on girl love and RPGs.

The pace is a little slow, but after really into it, I find many shiny spots. The story is fascinating, characters gradually cultivate their feelings when fulfilling their mission. Voice is very nice too.
