Bought this on a friends recommendation and found it to be an incredibly charming nod to retro JRPGS.

The game is set in a group of floating islands. You play a young adventurer called Lita, she is a bit of a wild child but skilled with a bow. I will say this, I love Lita, she reminds me a bit of Estelle from Trails in the Sky. She's tough, sassy and quite often really funny. She's a great character. The story is pretty straight forward but it takes the party to some great looking locales and scenes. I especially loved the game ending and was hoping for a sequel but it appears the developer is working on something new (Rise of the Third Power, looks great).

The combat is turn based, with a few small twists where you regenerate a certain amount of magic points per turn depending on stats to power up your skills. It can be quite tough in places (I played on hard) but some skills you might ignore for buffing your party can be essential so I liked some of the strategy elements to it.

The sprite visuals are lovely, the game looks excellent and I loved a lot of the music, which surprised me most. It's also a decent length at about 40 hours though you can do it quicker, I was exploring everywhere.

Overall it's a really charming game. if you're a fan of Snes or PS1 rpgs like early Final Fantasy games or Breath of Fire this could be right up your street and i'd recommend giving it a try.

+ Lovely visuals and music.
+ Lita is a great character.
+ Just generally charming.
