A Place Far Away

Good game. I enjoyed it. and recommend for those who like these types of games as I do.

A very short game (I finished it in under 6 hours). Don't be fooled by the release date. In terms of gameplay and graphic, it's more similar to the early works of this developer/publisher known for their shovelware. My expectations for the game were correspondingly low. And they were justified. There wasn't really a story worth mentioning: save the world, you're the prophesied solution. So, with a party of four, you first have to complete three dungeons to find the weapons for the final battle. There are no random encounters. Once defeated, all enemies are gone forever, so there's no grinding. Which is great in some ways, but also boring in others. Especially when your party has to make the sometimes long journey back and absolutely nothing happens. The battles aren't particularly difficult. Skills and magic should be used very carefully, as there's no way to rest in the dungeons, and at least at the beginning, you don't have much money for potions. Well, besides, the battles get boring quickly, since there are only a few different enemies in each dungeon. Bugs: not many, sometimes you could walk outside the picture. Not a Bug but poor design: nobody tells you that you can jump over certain holes and water. And nobody tells you that you must walk through walls (no sign that you can do that). Overall, I'd say: if it's heavily discounted and you've already completed every other RPG, you can give it a try. Even then, I can't recommend it; there are simply better games, even among the free RPG Maker titles.
