Graphics look better than 3 Houses. What the hell, I'll give it a shot when it releases.

 

[Bandi]

looks horrible

Any reason to believe this won't be just one of 100 forgettable indie games that get released every week? Have these guys released a decent game before?

Asking because that video does not inspire confidence this will be good or even worth mentioning amidst the ocean of other similar indie games.

And I have nothing against indies and small games. They are often among my favorite games. But for every great one, there are literally dozens that aren't worth a second look. That's true on Steam, PSN, Xbox and Switch. And 10x that on mobile.

Nope.

People are so starved for quality JRPGs that they’ll get their hopes up for anything.

Blimey...it looks trash tier.

I think with a lot of games what use the manga art style. Their success is based on how good the charter design is and sadly I just don't see anything here that stands out for me.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

I'll try it when it hits gamepass.

If you showed me pics and a vid of Operencia: The stolen sun, I would have said it looked like shit, but the game was actually a lot of fun.

 

[Saber]

Visually, doesn't look like a big deal at all.

I could give a look at some gameplay videos after it releases, since I'm fan of these kind of strategy turn based games. But I'm almost certain its not worth much.

 

[Fuz]

Anime should really, really stop trying to pass 12-old children as unstoppable warriors.

 

[too much eslim]

I want a return of turn base so I'll probably give this a shot

 

[ThatStupidLion]

i need to see more of the gameplay

 

[Graciaus]

It's been on my wishlist for awhile but something about the artstyle is off. Looks like a western take on anime style and I can't say I like it.

 

[GHG]

Wishlisted, always down for a decent turn based RPG so will keep an eye on it.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Sorry, the developer's name is CooCooSqueaky?

 

[DiscoJer]

I've had this on my Steam wishlist for almost a year now. Good to see something is happening with it.
