fighting the jobber 4 the first time is more difficult than all stars since by then you've gotten stronger. And if you're playing for the first time it's not impossible to not be paying much attention to boards and not have anything good by the time you get to the them.

this. Whether people think berserk is good or now is a huge callout on what difficulty they are playing. Anyone who says it sucks is playing on lower difficulties and people on higher difficulties realize making fights a DPS race makes you take less hits since you are clearing 3* faster realistically even more since you are going to go all in on attack and ignore HP/DEF

honestly it isn't even just the +35 that breaks the game in half (although the atk scaling certainly doesn't hurt) it is the fact you can have 4 range weapons swinging 3* faster than fast weapons. You can kill basically every boss before they can even fucking attack

in lower difficulties yes. In higher difficulties you are dying in 2-3 hits anyways and oftentimes those hits are going to be within half a second of each other. I completely disagree with the notion berserk makes the game harder when you can DPS race every single enemy in the game

it's okay if you really want more astlibra, but it's just more of the random dungeon from postscript so it gets a bit dull by the end. Magic being buffed to not have a cooldown before you can recharge mp and giving access to a whole bunch of screen nukes feels like a strange balancing decision.

Why don't more games have such an unbridled sense of adventure? There's an almost childish glee that this story seems to be written with. So much that happens just because it was too cool not to write, things more professional authors would cut for being too silly, things that are just too fun. It's been too long since I played another game with such obvious passion behind it.

I know we won't get a sequel (Keizo called it quits after the DLC), but it would have been nice to know what the imminent threat coming to the planet is now that geass has been defeated and the life & death god's secret weapon (the bakers daughter) has joined forces with the hero.

Since Magicus (Keizo's other game) takes place in the same universe (Mona and Garibe made camoes in Belkade, and the god Lucifer's bio said she's friends with Astrea and Al-Khamis) I though that perhaps the evil space corpo from the game or perhaps the intergalactic government would be the antagonists.

In this game's setting only women can be spellcasters whereas men are suited to becoming martial arts gods. MC circumvent this by using summons. Bakers daughter becomes good at fighting by grinding the ever loving fuck out of the eternal dream dungeon where she can' t really die, but since she's a woman she can cast magic normally.

The guided one that starts you off with a bunch of equipment? I wasn't fond of it myself. The game isn't very complex or demanding, but it needs some time to pace the introduction of mechanics. Fighting itself isn't that engaging without the context and progression.
If you are talking about the story bit of the demo with all the exposition, that's reflective enough of the whole thing.

men can become spell casters, they're just inferior to women. The game doesn't say this but in a Q&A the dev mentioned that the motivation for the person who was trying to get Shiro to fuck with the volcano and who in a different loop summons the demon on you is that he's a misogynist who doesn't like that fact and just wanted to trick Shiro into killing herself.

I liked it. After completing the main game, I was in desperate need of more Astlibra, and I got what I paid for.

In terms of gameplay it was a glorified extension of the postgame's final dungeon, with new features and some changes to the mechanics. In terms of story it's the game from the baker's daughter's perspective ( in one of the alternate timelines before the true end), and a conclusion for some of the characters.

Nah I get that. The geas root stuff kinda dragged for me too-felt more procedural than the usual hand-crafted flair. I didn’t mind Polin as a character but she doesn’t *drive* things like Karon did. Karon had that mix of mystery and chaos that kept you guessing, while Polin just feels like she got stuck being the exposition NPC half the time. Still, some of the later sections do pick up, so if you're not totally burned out, it's worth pushing through.

>KEIZO makes an statement about how he is pretty old so he doesn't want to get into another humongous project that takes multiple years or give people false hope for a project he will never finish on his lifetime so he is calling it quits and not making games anymore
>(for the record, before and after this he was still doing game dev stuff technically but just as a pastime/to fuck around)
>KEIZO has this idealized image of his retirement where he is just chilling binging games or shows
>after just a few months he eventually realizes that what he actually likes the most among all of those things is game dev

The mechanics are pretty cool though. There's just not much to talk about with them. The Libra mechanic is one of the best mechanics I've seen in any RPG because it makes every single item you pick up valuable, even if it's a shit item or a key quest item that you'll never use again.
The weapon and armor mastery system is pretty cool too, on the hardest difficulty I was going out of my way to master every single gear piece because each ability unlock could be huge in a strategy to defeat the next boss. Many bosses I would fight with a mastery that tripled my damage but made everything one shot me along with another mastery that allowed me to cheat death once. With these two together along with memorizing attack patterns and learning to dodge, block or spellcast i-frame through them was extremely engaging. The game is just good. Go play it.

the game feels much too long for how repetitive it is imo
i dont care how much they try to raise the steaks in the story when the actual dialogue is just "that girl was hot" or "youre so strong bro"
its a world i dont care about and gameplay that never really changes in any meaningful way
if i was the kind of guy who was into op protag isekai and self-inserted into harems id probably like it more

Anulis is actually boring. She leans so far into the typical "fated JRPG love interest" that she doesn't really stand out. Astlibra actually manages to make the other characters interesting and varied so it is weird to see her treated that way. I assume it is because it is relying on the mystery surrounding who she is instead, but once that is taken care of she is 100% stereotype.

theres unique weapons if you really want, but it shouldnt be hard to find something you like from the shop or whatever. learning the stats and knowing how to compensate with skills gets you an ideal weapon pretty quick, and theres ways to do higher level missions or face higher level foes during the early game so you can snatch a better gun
what matters the most is your abilities and perks either way
> and the debt increasing each loss is fucking annoying when you're starting.
i think you just havent played the game enough, its not really something you actually need to worry about
actually paying off the entire debt is something you should only really go for on a replay. it gives you an interesting dialogue/scenario ending and a new vocation for all savefiles
