So fun to play! And I appreciate the difficulty setting. Sometimes one wants to slay monsters and some other times one simply wants to enjoy the story. This game deserves a vocal and populous fandom. It’s girls! Who love girls!! And they fight monsters!!! What more could you possibly desire?
By the way: I LOVE MEREL! That little jumpy dance she does when she's excited lives rent free in my brain. Merel/Chisa OTP.
It’s a long game, with so much love and detail put into it, and I can’t believe it’s free. I would definitely recommend it.
(Spoilers below!)
I love the writing; it’s funny and engaging. And those moments like when Lynette falls asleep during her character introduction? Or Reginald getting banned for “repeatedly punching the king in the face”? The little inside jokes, like the Manos Bat having hands on its wings being a reference to Manos Hands of Fate, that aren’t guaranteed to work, but in this game they do? Prime Content™
However, I wasn’t feeling the Karuna Aurelie romance. Lynette makes a fine point when it comes to the Darkloft. If you’re the hero “making kissy faces at her until she turns good again” is a sound plan, but to everybody else around you it is ridiculous.
I would’ve preferred a more complex character arc for Aurelie without the mind control aspect. She could’ve been a more interesting character. It was fun playing as her, though.
I hope there’s a sequel about Lynette’s subsequent adventures. It’s a bit disappointing that killing the sea serpent that destroyed her ship didn’t do much beyond giving alchemy ingredients. I was hoping to see how Lynette would react knowing her frenemies had avenged her fallen comrades.
My only complaint is that I would’ve liked a map option. Sometimes I got lost and that was not fun.
Glitch report: during the last level, the hell dungeon stuff, the game would randomly stop responding to the arrow commands.
