This game is riddled with problems from start to finish.
First, the story. The game's story is almost nonexistent. There is no proper introduction sequence to convey the issue in the world or even the main characters' motivations or who they are at all. Things progress from point A to point B, but nothing is elaborated so the player has no investment as to what's going on. Right until the end of the game, you do not feel any stakes whatsoever because you are unable to understand anything.
Next, the biggest issue is the glaring grammatical issues. Personally, having an error or two is perfectly acceptable, especially in a low budget project like an RPGMaker game; however, there are NUMEROUS problems that you cannot ignore them because of how noticeable and frequent they are. From improper spelling, missing words, or awkward phrasing from the characters, it adds up as, like I said, they are frequent. It is obvious there was no effort to spellcheck or proofread for the final product.
Another issue is the overall balancing. RPGMaker games are not meant to be genre defying epics or challenging the status quo, but there are ways to make things feel interesting while also making sure each mechanic and character is useful. In this game, the healer of the group is definitively the best character, having both access to healing and the strongest damage for a majority of the game until literally right before the very end. One character has two weapons but somehow comes off with the worst damage and the worst defenses simultaneously. Additionally, an entire category of equipment is given as loot and available at the shop, yet in the entire playthrough, literally no one could equip it. It baffles me why it is there in the first place. This, combined with getting potentially overpowered gear from sidequests makes the main quest laughable until the horrible balancing mess at the end of the game.
Finally, the biggest issue with the game is the pacing. One, there is literally no direction of where to go after the mandatory first missions. Thematically it fits in the game, but it would be nice to at least have a clue as to where to go. The story, however, as mentioned with lacking a proper introduction, means that you do not know if there is any semblance of progress. Major plot events happen rapidly in succession and you wonder if you potentially have to remember these things for later. This is the MO for the game, though. You just suddenly get thrust into something with no explanation and just have to deal with it. In fact, I had absolutely no idea I was at the end of the game until the game ended after clearing the final boss, which I did not know was a final boss. There was no buildup, no anticipation, and it left me feeling hollow.
Another issue, which I could have left in balancing, is the complete waste of the theme of exploration in the skies. There are certainly many places to explore, given you have no direction where to go, but after finding multiple instances of repeated loot, it made me realize there is no reason to explore because you will probably find the potential treasure in just another chest. This also completely negates the need for gold outside of literally the first time you visit a shop as, you just find better gear in the various dungeons. It's a conundrum as you have very fiscal gold at the start of the game to barely gear one character, but literally shops do not improve, so after the start, gold is useless entirely.
Overall, the game is not the worst experience I've had, and at times it was enjoyable, but I cannot recommend this game due to the reasons stated above. It is almost insulting that the creator has the guide for the game as a separate paid DLC because it is almost certain the player will get lost in what to do by design. If you see the playtime I have for this game, keep in mind I did a fair amount of exploring and even read every bit of dialogue and beat the game, so if you run a game faster, it would be an even shorter journey. In the end, the game is not worth the price point.
