I wish this game had a male protagonist and a female protagonist. I'm alright with a female protagonist, but there's only TWO anime inspired games on steam and they both have solely female protagonists. I dunno, it just seems in every RPG I've played female protagonists always weigh a story down and are difficult to relate to.
@joemanses that has to be one of the most overused joke for a title that it becomes dull and unfunny. All tits joke aside, the 5 games in the trilogy have a vast story which are connected to one another, like an on-going novel series. I've rarely come across a game that covers so much detail and attention to every part of its story.
@EpicWin12 If I've never played it than clearly I've never heard the joke. I don't care if you think it's dull and unfunny, I think it's fucking hilarious, yo'. Anyway, I'm not going to go buy a PSP given I don't have the time or the means right now, but if I ever come into copious quantities of money and time, I'll be sure to put it on the list of shit to play.
I like how everyone is hating on the game because of the graphics... Jesus christ, have all you 10 year olds never played a good, classic type game? |:
@renoxzor Actually, Dark Souls (look it up!) would be Japan's answer to Witcher 2. Chantelise came out in 2006. Comparing to moderns games is kinda silly.
This game is coming to Steam soon, but just like the first game, I will not buy it if it is being sold for $20. looks too much like a GBA game for a PC game.
I wouldn't listen too much to Nobleheart... It seems like he went into this game expecting something else (WAY too many comparisons to Recettar acting as if it's sequel...).
The demo for this game was pretty fun! The boss was actually challenging... and it literally took me 10 tries to get it the dodging down. It probably would have taken less tries if I wasn't so focused on breaking off the arms. I am considering purchasing the game now.
All in all, this game seems like an extremely poor copy of the great game Recettear. If you disagree with my analysis of this game, I urge you.. PLEASE go try the demo of this game available on steam before you buy the full version. You could disagree. Or you may find that this game was not what you were expecting/hoping it would be. I admit, I have only played the demo for 2 hours and haven't even beaten the 1st boss yet. It could just be me...but it doesn't feel that way....
@Nobleheart111 You DO realize this game is made by the same company right? but this game is more adventure based while Recettear was more of running a shop then exploring
This game also doesn't have the buying and selling or items to customers like in Recettear. That's all well and good, your the adventurer this time, so it makes sense. (Your on the usual side of the counter this time :D ) But that means that the adventuring part of the game needs to be good, at least as good as the combat/exploring in their previous game. Here...it just isn't. :( The world is recognizable, just a lot worse to explore/adventure around in.
I have gotten the "Game Over" notification over a dozen times on just the first boss. And it doesn't seem like the game even has consequences for losing. Your just put back in town with no apparent penalty. The "town" by the way consists of one building you can actually enter (the shop) with a grand total of 4 items you can buy multiple times for increasing prices + 5 NPCs that say the same things over and over again however many times you talk to them...
Finally, there is no good healing item system in the game. Healing food is random drops from monsters that your character consumes immediately when you pick it up. No taking it with you for later or bringing healing with you for a boss in this game. That in itself makes boss fight 10 times harder. Combine thiswith the camera controls and the poor dodging system. Hit both the melee button Z and jump button X at the same time to quickly slide a short distance the way your character is facing...
This not only means you have a very limited supply of magic, but that you have to either kill monsters or barrels/torch-bearing pillars to have a chance to use it at all. You then have to pick up these magic crystals in the order of the spell you want to cast.. Otherwise, when you charge up your spell, you'll just have to hope the 2-3 combination of crystals is something good. And you need to be close enough to your target so that homing effects hit what your aiming at instead of the nearby one
So killing just one flying eyebat on its own takes several effective jump melee attacks to kill it. Now imagine how frustrating it can be trying to fight 4 eyebats at once, plus some ground enemies, plus the camera controls on uneven terrain. I felt like I was fighting the controls more than the monsters. The magic system also is much worse. Instead of a system of mana and 3-4 cool and powerful spells, you have to pick up magic crystals from the ground (same button as a melee strike....).
The real trouble with this control occurs when you fight the more advanced monster types. I particularly hate the eyebats. They have a ranged attack where they shoot a line of circles (like from blowing smoke rings) at you to deal 9 damage each. That's pretty harsh when you remember your character starts out with only 30 life. 4 hits and it's game over. Worse, it can't be hit unless you use your character to jump into the air and melee it. Elise's melee is only really strong on her 3rd swing
First, camera control can be horrible. You are a 2-D character in a 3-D world. The camera doesn't follow the angle you're facing, you have to manually hit V (button #4) to make it slowly pan to where your character is facing. There is also lock on feature available for target one monster at a time (hit v once for your camera to focus on one of the nearest monsters). This in itself wouldn't necessarily harm the gameplay. I had some good fun killing the first basic slimes and caterpillars.
The beginnings of the story were good. You play a younger, spear-wielding sister named Elise who's older sister was turned into a fairy by a witch during a night of a red moon. Your quest is therefore straightforward, find the witch that did this and change your sister back. You start of with basic battle tutorials as you beat a few slimes (the same enemies as in Recettear) and save a local shopkeeper. All good so far for the most part... The real trouble I found comes later, in gameplay...
Sorry if I come out sounding like a jerk, but this game and Recettear are worlds apart... and not in a good way. I fell in love with the little indie game of Recettear, loving the characters, the story, and the gameplay on all levels. I loved the buying and selling things and the dungeoneering and have over 48 hours of playtime on it. I still love it. To me, this game, however, frankly sucks I tried the demo now available on steam for 2 hours and already can tell how inferior a product it is
Stop asking for English... Wait until Carpe Fulgur to translate and releases it... it's getting annoying! They'll probably release it on Steam. Looking things up SOMETIMES can lead to answers!
@duim157 When I was eight I played trough pokemon gold in Japanese, the full game without knowing what I was supposed to do. Also, I didn't speak english so I couldn't look on the Internet. I don't think the language is a problem.
This's not a tutorial, you are playing this game and feel the game is garbage, because it is quite the opposite, I'm doing a tutorial whith the same way until the video 5 in 7:36 in one video and there is no excuse that the game is in Japanese, anyone with instinct know where are the controls and how to pass the tutorial, but you're just playing, not doing a tutorial.
