6/10

When I buy a convenience store snack and later regret it I don't think, "wow, that was money I could have spent on a crappy game," but why is it so when the roles are reversed?

[h1] Introduction: [/h1] An RPG Maker game developed by ryouko and published by JustE Publishing, which feels [spoiler] (probably is) [/spoiler] unfinished. [u] [b]Story summary[/b] [/u] Straight to the point: Isekai. I don't know why she got thrown in another world in the first place because the prologue isn't machine translated. But it seems like the protagonist's objective is to get a key, defeat the witch/boss and return home to her world. [h1] Sound: [/h1] [u] [b]Music[/b] [/u] No music apart from the main menu and battles. There is a soundtrack DLC available. I don't know if these are the songs, but if they are, then there are only 4 OST's in total which are definitely not worth the money: [olist] [*]綺麗な(aliva) | Duration: 30 seconds. Horrible... [*]もっとください(give_me_more) | Duration: 2:15. They looped the first 4 seconds of this song for two minutes and fifteen seconds... [*]私のせい(my_fault) | Duration: 2:19. Again, looped. This time the first 10 seconds. [*]男の子 | Duration: 1:55. Once again, looped. This time the first 5 seconds, it seems like the song offered a tiny bit of variety at the end though. The actual length of the song lasts around 1:18, the remaining 37 seconds are silent. [/olist] [u] [b]SFX:[/b] [/u] Standard RPG Maker sound effects. [h1] Art: [/h1] The character sprites/art themselves look decent enough. [h1] Gameplay: [/h1] For English version players. When you start the game, you see that the prologue has been spared from the machine translation. After advancing the dialogue forward, you get an option to play as either a Brunette or Blonde protagonist (Whose default name is 'Haruka'). You can rename your protagonist, but not by using 'Latin characters' though, only with 'Hiragana characters'. Even in the English version. At the starting town you can battle monsters/enemies randomly, to initiate a battle you just have to 'talk' to them and you get thrown straight to battle. No dialogue as to why they want to fight you. This seems weird considering they're standing in front of stores, pubs, houses etc. [spoiler] (You even got a succubus standing in front of the church. Praise The Lord...) [/spoiler] Also, the other NPC's of the town don't seem to care about these hostile monsters at all. The in-game characters and monsters models are without, even, simple animations and it feels lifeless overall. [u] [b]Translation[/b] [/u] I've seen many machine translated Japanese to English games, but this is by far the worst one yet: 'He' instead of 'She', 'Net' instead of 'No' and following the story with this translation just doesn't seem worth doing. [h1] Pros: [/h1] [list] [*]Okay character sprites/art [/list] [h1] Cons: [/h1] [list] [*]Price [*]Machine Translated [*]Uninteresting Story [*]Lack of BGM [*]Bugs [*]Lifeless World [/list] [h1] Conclusion: [/h1] Honestly, I don't know if the game gets better after you leave the starting town (If you can leave it at all), I highly doubt it though. But given the uninteresting story and the many problems the game has, I wouldn't want to continue playing to find out anyway. The game isn't worth it even for a price like that. It feels like it's still in it's very early development stages. This should not have been delivered as a 'full' release which you charge people for. [b] Not Recommended. [/b]
