Rating the game using the Judge categories just for fun
Gameplay
Played in classic mode so I could see your vision of the game. I got stuck after the first battle because I went to the mountains to the west. I entered the small caves system and suddenly could not get out anymore. The place I entered from seemed to be impassable now
Based on my short experience with the battle system, I can say its not for everyone. I will write my opinions on the story and general aesthetics in the presentation category. Purely from a gameplay standpoint, the battle system has potential to be really fun, as you figure out the enemy strategy. I think it is limited by the choice of only going 1-on-1 though
[13/20]
Presentation
I think the story was simply not for me. The style of prose and meticulous descriptions of everything and everyone only made it feel rather artificial to me. This compounded by the semi regular mistakes coming from someone whose primary language is not english quickly made me want to just get going ahead, kind of dismissing any further meaning of the words onscreen
Visuals were gorgeous for the most part. The mountain range has some weird looking placement of bridges, but that is ultimately a minor detail. The Wyvern part was both beautiful and had a problem at the same time, since the entrance arc kind of covered the characters
Music was fine and fit the atmosphere you were looking for.
Overall the story just made me indifferent
[12/10]
Engagement
I got stuck pretty early on, and I hadn't saved in a while. I really didn't want to go through the story segments again, so I decided to stop. This speaks for how players like me could just become bored of the game far too fast. I think this is going to be kind of a polarizing topic with the game. Some will love this kind of stuff, some (like me) will hate it
[6/20]
Potential
Regardless of whether you like this game's narrative or not, I believe it still has a lot of potential from a gameplay perspective. If you expand the battle system to follow the same core idea of enemy pattern recognition, I think you will have something great in your hands. In terms of the storytelling, I guess it is a matter of taste
[15/20] -> Doubled to 30
