Just found this and even before playing I am already in love with the art
Thank you!
It's an old game now, but I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback once you've played it!
Very nice game. The combat system was unique, with a weak protagonist at the start and a team of powerful monsters at the end. The art was nice as well.
I do agree that further development could use some more balancing, as it is currently inefficient to go out of your way to catch extra monsters when monster field abilities are optional and a well-leveled team of three monsters can handle every encounter with ease, especially the demo boss.
I did enjoy the experience, though.
Really happy to hear you enjoyed it!
I agree the balancing is the biggest part of the game that needs work. Currently I'm busy with other affairs, but I'd really like to get back to this game and expand and improve on it further.
Thank you for your feedback!
This game was great! Loved the combat system, especially early game with lower level monsters its tough but fun. Later though I think it can be easy to just overlevel monsters and oneshot enemies. I wish we could keep a few more monsters though. Also, the music for this was really amazing - I'd love to get a link to any music file available!
Thank you for playing! I'm happy you enjoyed it. :D
And I agree, there was further balancing that could be done. I will try to improve it in the future.
The game was developed in RPG Maker MZ, so the music used was default ones that came with the engine. I did do a bit of pitch changing to fit the feel of the game better. I'm not much of a composer so this was all I had. I would love to have custom tracks in the future though!
I appreciate the info. I think this game has a lot of potential and was overall very fun to play!
Thanks for playing! I will make sure to check out your video! :D
I'm eager to see where this goes. The art is lovely and there is a classy but nice vibe to it. I do hope you keep updating it to perfection
Hey, sorry for the late response, I didn't get notice your comment.
I'm happy you enjoyed it, I do plan on updating and polishing further in the future!
