I'm debating whether I want it. Nevertheless, here's the lowdown:

Looks like an ARPG from Exe create. here's hoping its a fresh new idea.

Fun fact: With dollar closing at 4.10 locally and the game being sold at 1:1 ratio, it costs to me about US$ 2.20 >.>

The game looks decent, but eh... ARPG is not my favorite genre, the story settings are not among my favorites, and I don't remember EXE-Create making ARPGs before.

...Which would be a good sign, wasn't this EXE-Create we're talking about.

After AH2 (which I played) and Sep. Stories (which I skipped), I will more likely wait for the game which they release after this one.

...But if someone buy and play the game, please give us a review

If it is a good game it might be worth purchasing (even if I don't finish it like Chrome Wolf)

EDIT: I watched the Trailer Video. It was cool, but did not made me want to buy it. I guess I'm not the target audience of it. The interface on the trailer faintly reminded me a bit of Dragon... Sinker, was it? I dunno, only remember I did not really liked that game either >.>

Exe create did make ARPGs before which were Across Age 1&2.

Ah, I did not saw them on https://www.rpginsanity.com/games/ so I was not aware about ;3

Playstore also finds an Across Age, but with a different publisher

Thanks.

They're a different publisher but they are both Exe Create games. I have forums for them both inside "Exe Create," but I never did add them to the "Games" page. (But I will if there's any interest.)

Well, for what it is worth, Across age 1 and 2 are both excellent games so that bodes well for this game.

I'm enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would, a little tricky at first although I started on hard mode.

There's no inn from what I can see so the only way to heal is to level up or buy potions.

Haven't gotten to crafting or cooking yet as money is a bit scarce in the beginning and enemies don't seem to drop anything, finished the first area within an hour and a half.

Just my opinion but it does seem a little subpar given previous titles, but since this one plays totally different I thought I would give it a chance.

I am since it plays so simple but it feels lacking. I cant equip diffirent elemental or weapon types to my quick item slots. There seems to be no diffirence between the sword and the Yo Yo as weapons and lock on is clunky. It also does not work on bosses for some reason and it feels like some spells dont work in boss fights. It feels like Exe-Create imported a game released in the early 2010's and made no changes to improve the gameplay as evidenced by the choice to have "Classic" character portraits.

I've played about an hour and a half as well. I beat the first boss, and went to the town with a c*****o and now I'm not sure what we're supposed to do in that town??? I guess I need to talk to more NPCs or something.

Anyway, overall game play is alright. But, I've played an hour and a half and I'm not in a big rush to get back to it, so that's not encouraging.

(Oh, I should also mention I'm playing on Easy... so the random encounters aren't too hard - but I had to fight the first boss about 4 times before I finally found a workable strategy.)

I kinda feel like, I don't have anything to "complain" about as far as this game goes, but I also don't have anything I can point to and say "this feature makes this game awesome!" It's just... so-so... but I'll give it a few more hours, and who knows? Maybe it'll pick up.
