I don't see JRPGs in game jams very often. It's a genre i really love and it was very cool to play it in this jam. The only game i played which was made by RPG maker was Fear&Hunger and it was a fantastic game in my opinion. I'm beginning to see more games made with that engine. There are a few of them in this jam besides this one.

Anyways, your game is pretty fun to play. Eventhough it's a long game for a game jam, it didn't bore me. It' mostly bcs of the very well designed battle system. It is very engaging and fun.  The artstyle of the game doesn't really appeal to me but i appreciate the hardwork put behind it. I find the story very interesting and complex too. You play as a demon samurai who fights against human samurai in a world where not all demons are evil. The dialogues are pretty well written. The music chocies are also great and there too many tracks. The battle musics, cutscene musics, they're all great. Only thing i'm missing in the game is a level where you can move your character around, NPCs and stuff. Like a true JRPG. But it's amazing you managed to finish this in two weeks, so i definitely don't see it as a negative thing in this situation.  I hope you can turn this project into a full game and publish it. It's a great work. Best of luck to your in your future projects

I apologize if the artstyle doesn't appeal to you. But I guess different strokes for different folks. Also, having to move around the overworld is too large of a scope for a gamejam entry, so I decided to go with the menu selection format instead, though I will keep your feedback in mind if I ever make a longer game that's more in line with JRPGs. I appreciate you liking the combat and the interesting plotline at least.

Funny thing about Fear and Hunger is that the dev acknowledged a project I made alongside a good associate of mine. He liked the whimsy style I go for, which honestly is the greatest praise I could have gotten, and I couldn't be grateful for it.

In terms of the game itself, it is practically a prototype game at best. If I ever make a full game, it'll be a continuation of this series taking place in a different universe.

Thank you for taking your time playing the game.
