Axol's Quest

I had enough fun playing the "tutorial" that I had to play longer so that I could actually leave a review. The art and characters work well together to show off their personality, and the plot kicks off with a very engaging start. I really look forward to seeing where the story goes from here, and seeing what interesting teammates and team techs that I'll discover along the way. The music in the first post-tutorial area really suits being on the beach at the start of an adventure, and all of the battles have been fun between the animations and balancing the use of skills and when best to guard for recovery. I'm getting Omori or In Stars and Times vibes in the combat due to how animated the character profiles are, and that's great! While this can be played with a controller, clicking on the area you want to move to with the mouse is much faster. It's doable either way, but if you have a mouse there's no reason not to when moving around the maps.

Game has some cute character design for the various anthro animal characters, nice brief animations (all hand-drawn), some amusing dialogues both in the serious and comedic parts, and a few good soundtrack pieces. [spoiler]Also it's nice how promos hide that Axol is not actually the protagonist but the character you have to save[/spoiler], including an emotional moment at the very end. However, for the rest it's your average RPG Maker game, really easy and repetitive, with little in the way of strategy until you get to the final boss, and the tired "save the world" (or Mexico in this case?) plot. Also the team attack animations are kinda laggy. Recommended but only if you really like this kind of games.

Should have at least 50 reviews.

My new favorite game!

Fun little game that you can get for cheap. Worth a couple of hours of play. The combat is pretty simple yet still fun and I enjoyed the characters and artwork. Just understand your getting a small JRPG that will give you five to six hours and you'll be happy.

Great experience from start to finish. It's a very clever game that does just the right amount of everything. Absolutely love the characters and the combat is good as well. It's about as enjoyable as a short RPG can be. I legitimately can't think of much wrong with it that aren't nitpicks which is quite rare for me. It won't blow your mind at any one thing, but as an overall package it's for sure up there with the best
