Weirdly enough I have never heard of the game but watching some trailers I am very intrigued, I will check out the demo tomorrow.

Ever Oasis |OT| Secret of ActRaiser in the Desert aka This Year's Other Egyptian ARPG
- Thread starter TheMoon
- Start date
Demo was alright, reminds me a lot of Crystal Chronicles/ My Life as a King, both of which I love. Treehouse playthrough always sells me on a game, like they did with Fantasy Life, but I found Fantasy Life a total bore, with nothing but busy work and pointless/ shallow quests. I fear this may be the same, so I'll be holding out. Besides just spent a lot on Steam Summer sale.

There's no ActRaiser comparison. Read the OP, not the title
Nah, town-building + action (rpg). That's all it means. If anyone goes crazy it ain't my fault. Also not advertising unless someone wants to pay me?
The point is to grab attention.
I love how y'all are getting hung up on this

Wait, what IS the other egyptian RPG this year?
Anyway, i will get this for sure, even though i likely won't get around to playing it realistically until say... 2024 or so....

What 13ruce said.

Thank god there are no more 3DS games coming after that.

*sees EO V, SMT Strange Journey Redux, Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology, Kirby, Pokémanz, and Sushi Striker peeking around the corner*

Gonna start it sometime between tonight and tomorrow. Too bad it doesn't support multiplayer.
I hope the game is good.

Played around 4-5 hours so far and I'm in love. This game is freaking fantastic. The Fantasy Life x Animal Crossing comparison is absolutely right, if you like those games then definitely get this!
It is so freaking charming and all my residents so far have each had their own distinctive personality. Can't wait to continue playing.
So sad to see how little buzz there is surrounding this game

People, all these positive impressions aren't helping with my efforts to buy fewer games
Game is great. Getting new residents is pretty straightforward but managing the Oasis is not.
Managing the oasis will require a lot of items. You need those items to restock the shops that you build. And you can use those items to craft weapons/clothes/accessories and to trade for new items.
I just formed my first party and you can bring the people managing the shops as well, but the store closes and you can't profit from it. Also stores have levels as well so that they can offer more items to sell.

How's the story in this game? Is it really hands off?

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Oh shit, Fantasy Life is probably my favorite 3DS game. Gonna pick this up after work.

Got my copy arriving today, but I won't play it for awhile due to it being between Arms, RPG Maker FES, Zelda DLC, and Splatoon 2. This month send help.
Will plan to start it around late August/early September. I hope it sells well since I want Grezzo to succeed. Love the Zelda remakes and Tri Force Heroes. It just seems like the game is being sent to die. Barely any advertising and again, between two big first party games + DLC on Switch.
Best of luck Grezzo and I can't wait to play it, but I want to fully focus on it when I do so that will be later. Have fun everyone!

Put a couple hours in to this now.
It's Viva Piñata + Atelier + Zelda down to a tee. So it's pretty much my dream game.
The OST is very Grant Kirkhope as well.
Potential GOTY contender right here - don't sleep on this one, GAF.

Probably a dumb question, but where the hell do I find more Healing Fruit?
I need some for an early quest, and yet I seem to have run out of places to scavenge. All sand mounds seem to only give me other materials.

I find a lot in the oasis by blowing away sand piles or using gale on glowing spots that sometimes pop up in the pool under the tree by your house. Think those are most reliable. Just found one in a pot too, but that's the first.
Got my own question: how do I add party members? Only oasis level 3 so maybe I just haven't unlocked that yet?
Yeah you probably can't yet. A resident will allow you to form a party pretty soon

This i'd like to know as well...
i went to a nearby walmart and they didn't have any copies in the display case, so i asked an employee about it. at first he said there were no games releasing today but then offered to check in the back. he found three copies and said that was all they had received.

Finished first real dungeon. Really liking it - collecting characters is always more fun when you can bring them along to fight with you!

Currently at Oasis Level 7, just playing off and on during the day.
Now I'm gonna go home and binge all night.
I'm enjoying it so far. The combat is simple but fair, and they throw things in there to keep it interesting. The characters are fun, and the town building is enjoyable enough. It shall certainly keep me busy over the weekend.

Finally got my copy and started about an hour in. Already had an update for the game. Anybody know what the update was for? Probably just bug fixes, but still curious.

Does the demo do anything in the full game?
Nope.
Been playing for a little bit, got my second party member. Although maybe that isn't the best way to describe it as I can't actually form a party yet. Cool game.
