People will be like "Yeah, a lot of dungeons are unnecessarily tedious to navigate, almost every enemy group after a certain point has an instakill, an annoying status ailment, or both, and get permanetly locked out of one of your party members' best spells if you don't call a woman sexy in a dialogue choice that you wouldn't think was significant without knowing in advance but the vibes are cool so it's a good ass game"

It was like totally fine! The visuals are very pretty, some of the music goes hard and a few of the fights were genuinely exciting on a mechanical level, but I think the last thing you want anyone to be able to say about your game that seems this interested in having a whacky and lovable cast of characters and is clearly trying to develop some sort of emotional core is that they kind of came away from it feeling nothing. And it's a shame! You get to the end and it's this larger-than-life sendoff with this blaring, emotional music and it feels like it should be doing something, it feels like this should be affecting, but the writing here is just so dull and lackluster that I genuinely could not give a shit what "The Rasta Beast" or "Noseferatchu" are feeling as we venture into the next world together. Like he's a vampire but he sneezes do you get it!!! It feels like if the cast were smaller and the game spent more time developing the characters that actually had some heart to them (Green Mage is fun! The Slime Boys are kinda cute! Blue Thief was somewhat endearing purely through virtue of spending a lot of the game with him) then there'd be more to love here, but for now my feelings on the game are just painfully lukewarm. I will not be fulfilling the request in the credits to email the guys behind this and tell them what "our game made you feel" because I'd like to believe I'm not mean enough to write them an email that just reads "absolutely nothing assholes!!!! haha B)"
