It's still top 10 top sellers on Steam 2 months after release. The game is a triumph.

Any semblance of challenge crumbles apart in the back half of the game unless you sandbag the fuck out of yourself. Which is mega disappointing as the game was so close to a genuine 10/10.

i got a good 50 hours out of it before i felt like i was being pigeonholed into using Stendahl to succeed. remove that and the game is still fun for a while. i think if Sandfall keeps making tbRPGs they'll get the scaling thing down. good game regardless

come to think of it, i would imagine that as soon as you take the character out of a railroad area, scaling is going to go wild

It's not just Stendhal, there are tons of other OP builds like the Verso machinegun build, the Berserker build and so on. The game is very poorly balanced and simply stacking all the "+X% damage dealt when Y" lumina will make you shit out millions of damage, as the passives are all multiplicative.

Not him but steam deck isn't a game, and dune is represented 3 times, and then there's 2 free games.

Opening scene could be way more powerful if you simply had the lady characters last words be "I am 34. I love you" so its this giant shock reveal that she died, if they did a movie version I bet they did that. Also the graphics need to stop being so finicky man I just used Low settings since every setting other than that just felt too fake. I don't want fake good graphics I want real shitty ones if that makes sense.

Battle system:
- Parries and dodges invalidate defensive stats completely
- Focus on offensive stats and lumina completely ruin the difficulty act 2 onward
- There's a promise of interacting statuses and attacks for buildcraft in act 1, but they're completely thrown out the window in favor of spamming your strongest attack every chance you get

Other gameplay:
- Gestral beaches, ironic bad is still bad
- Half the areas in the game are way too big
- Platforming is so shit

Narrative:
- The big twist takes a sledgehammer to all the setup earlier in the game, it doesn't come out of nowhere, but it's immensely unsatisfying
- Complicating elements are introduced literally after the final boss is dead so that the reader doesn't have a clean moral quandary
- An ending choice that reads as a cowardly way to not make any statement

Writing:
- Characters are generally written well, but there's a distinct lack of reflecting on the world in act 3 from main characters

It was meant to be a simple homage to beloved JRPGs of old but they accidentally mogged all JRPGs past to present.

Swimsuit 1 and Swimsuit 2, such reward!
Such random flying object, much creative!
I must pose my heroes in swimsuits once I get Swimsuit 3, and Swimsuit 4 also such cool reward as Swimsuit 5, THAT is what I play for, THAT IS WHAT I WILL DO!!

Why get a cool armor when fun item rewards such as Swimsuit 4 and Swimsuit 2 exist!!!?

Best

And that's a good thing. Maelle belongs to Gustave. Too bad Gustave didn't make it past act 1 and Maelle was snapped in act 2.
