Oh my lord where do I even start with this. So overall, I’d say this game is pretty solid. Enjoyable characters and a great mix of rpg and farming sim. The beginning moves at a snails pace but if you just push through it, it gets a lot better. The combat definitely takes some getting used to if you don’t normally play this kind of stuff. The games visuals are beautiful; stunning even. That being said, I wish that the attention and care put into the environment carried over into the NPC’s. They feel static, almost. Everyone looks the same and their side quests become more like “chores” than anything. The main cast of characters are all pretty enjoyable (Favorites include Heine, Emo, Brakka, and Unicorn) and their classes are all fun to mess around with. Though Emo and Dianthus’ classes are bit too slow for my personal preference. I played a good amount of the game switching between everyone to get a good feel for them and I tended to go with Avenger (Brakka’s class) and Shadow Walker (Istina’s class) for all the hard stuff.
The story itself was a little hard to follow at times. There was A LOT going on and a lot of plot twists where I felt like I was going in circles at times. I think they were trying to do a little too much with the story and it ended up being a jumbled mess. But I was able to understand what was going on most of the time.
There’s a lot to do in this game, between boss fights, collecting and of course, farming. But it never feels like there’s “too much” content. Just enough to give you something to do whenever you wanna walk away from the story for a bit. And the leveling system of your farm and fairy orders always give you something to work towards. By the end of the main story, I still don’t have all the conellu dolls or all of the food orders done so I’m looking forward to going back to finishing that and farming through the seasons without Quietus. I don’t think it’s a game I’ll ever go back to and replay but I had fun with it overall and definitely recommend giving it a try.
