Astrune Academy

edit: 06-18-24 Good it is finished...so my final review for this (my 43th Kemco game on Steam): The game is one of the better ones from Exe. Not only does it have none of the usual teen romances...the whole plot is something different....but it would destroy the fun if I told you about THAT!!! What I can tell you is: there are no ships or planes. You walk and than can warp to already visited locations. In addition to the main goal there are simple side-quests....don't worry you can't miss them. On the map each city with available quests is marked...and if you finish a quest you can warp direct to the questgiver. There is a map for the overworld and each dungeon. There are hidden paths in dungeons but if you look at the map you'll find all of them. You can merge weapons of the same type to level them up. Armor can also merged with other parts. Or you use armor/weapon shards. There is an level cap for characters and weapons/armor. During the game you can rise these caps (starting from level 30). For characters you must fight in the arena. No, not bronce, silver and gold cups...only a few fights to raise your caps. After you finished the game you can save and start before the last fight....the extra content: some new dungeons is waiting for you. Also you can see a different ending. Some specs about the game: Level cap is 999 for characters. Level cap for weapons, armor and skills is 99. Don't fret if you can't reach the arena...the exp. isn't lost.....for me it was a little boring after reaching lvl 500 I played a little more and than did the arena....the result was that I had to wait till it added 200 levels in one go (700 was the next lvl cap). For nearly every action you'll gain rewards....walking the overworld and dungeons you'll find mana spots that gives the whole party perma boosts. So many different items that boost stats that I quickly lost track . If you play the game the way the devs intended...you don't need to buy the cheating DLC.
