Frontier Combat: Beginnings

Sıra tabanlı dövüşlerde kombo zincirleri oluşturup, gerçek zamanlı olarak düşmanlarınızın zincirlerine karşı savunma yaptığınız bir fantezi JRPG dir.

The game really has potential. The mix of 3D environments and 2D hand-drawn (which reminds me of Ken Sugimori’s early art style, back when he was still working on the illustrations for the fanzines that eventually led to Pokémon) characters gives it a unique charm. I especially like the wolf’s design, it looks great. The knight’s design feels a bit different from the rest, but it’s not a big deal. The combat system is pretty interesting too, and I’m curious to see how it’ll develop if the project keeps going. I really like the soundtrack, it has a pretty strong late 90s–early 2000s retro vibe. But it's a bit of a shame that it’s not mentioned anywhere that this is a demo, since the game isn’t finished and we only have access to the first two or three hours of gameplay. Still for an early version, it already shows a lot of promise. I’d just love to see more variety among the NPCs in the final version, especially in the village. It would also be nice to have some way to heal during fights, since right now you can only attack and have to go back to the grandmother’s house every time. And I find the shield system that protects you from certain types of attacks (slashing, piercing...) too archaic especially since there’s no explanation anywhere about how it actually works. Also, the “Endure” ability isn’t all that useful either, since you can block enemy attacks again if you time your defenses right. There’s also a small issue with the garden gnome. The text is in Spanish, his sprite doesn’t appear up, and one of his attacks (the super punch) crashes the game.
