Makai Agito

it gud

why is it so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard

Makai Agito can best be described as "Baby's First Megaten" following the plot from "Re/Member". With that description in mind, this game is pretty fantastic with the right approach. The weak points are easily overcome by it's strengths and I enjoyed my time here. The plot is that you're reporter friend invites you to investigate a local legend about a "Witching Hour" curse... aka people disappearing without a trace every few years. But as the hour comes to pass, monsters walk the streets and the memories of the past hours return. Track down and destroy the dismembered body of an ancient witch or you'll awaken tomorrow with the dead gone without a trace. The writing itself is passable, but it really doesn't need to be more than that. Dungeon Crawls are about the mazes and the journey and the plot is just interesting enough to keep me moving forward. The gameplay is oldschool SMT or Persona. Walk around in first person mazes and fight enemies with preschool-tier element matching. There's no press-turn or all-outs/knock downs... simply extra damage if you match the enemies weakness. It's honestly a nice change of pace because, with one exception, I felt like I could just enjoy mixing and matching powers. Unlike classic atlus, even bosses (with one exception) don't force you to strictly match elements or prepare new parties for each dungeon. It's balanced towards the easier side, so I could have fun playing with builds and finding several overpowered combinations. Dungeon design is decent quality. For the most part, they are simple designs with a heavy emphasis on unlocking shortcuts. This means that MOST dungeons allow you to easily trek in, do some exploration, and then escape to heal without too much trouble. It's a fine balance between attrition, pushing-your-luck, and casual dungeon crawling with a few mid-game exceptions. I see alot of reviews complaining about grind but I mostly disagree because you really don't NEED to upgrade your gear every stage and levels come at a steady rate. Most of your power comes from fusing demons, and you can earn them through negotiation, money purchase, or dropped crafting items. You don't even need to return to down... right there... in the dungeon you can spawn the ideal party for any situation or merge some units to change up your skills. There are a couple of weak points past the writing that almost lost me. There's a pair of mid-level dungeons that go on a little too long and lack the shortcuts to justify it, and money is still mildly tight this early. It feels like it's the start of a difficulty spike, but after these two dungeons it's flows smoothly again. A couple of the later dungeon gimmicks felt like they were wasting time, and the battle rate is feels a bit too high. Finally, the last boss just sucks... as it's resistant to nearly everything and ignores your elemental defenses... and takes absolutely forever to finish off. But at the end of the day, I'm glad I bought this game and I enjoyed the vast majority of the time with it. In terms of indy megaten... this is a fine addition to the genre.

Несмотря на палец вниз, ощущения игра оставила скорее нейтральные. У меня, как у старого фаната МегаТенов и знатной данжен кролер хворы, игра оставила привкус разочарования. Конс: Дифолтные нехаризматичные персонажи; Водянистые диалоги: спустя пару часов, перестал читать диалоги, потому что персонажи перегоняют одну и ту же тему из пустого в порожнее; Механика маппинга: нельзя увидеть карту отдельно и листать этажи; с другой стороны, это не очень требуется: повсюду на этажах есть шорткаты, поэтому решать головоломки с многослойными лабиринтами не приходится (на тебя смотрю, квест Снежной Королевы). Неудачное расположение камеры: камера расположена в центре тайла, из-за чего без автокарты очень некомфортно перемещаться по лабиринту. Обычно, в кролерах камера находится немного позади и орбитирует вокруг центра, благодаря чему видно немного пространства слева и справа. Арканы и эксплойты их слабостей практически не делают погоды. При том, что некоторые свои уязвимости можно прикрыть бронёй. Ещё запишу в конс, что игра слишком пытается быть похожей на Персону/МегаТен, из-за чего теряется индивидуальность проекта. Прос: Эстетически приятная Музяка ничё такая, качает Не душная Короткая %) В том плане, что не пытается себя искусственно растягивать. Итог: Игра далеко не ужасная, это не "Чужаки города мечей" и не "Mind/0", бЪже упаси. Небольшая, простенькая, достаточно приятная. Но недостаточно приятная для меня. Рекомендовать в неё поиграть я бы не стал, как не стал бы отговаривать от этого.

Review written after finishing the first dungeon. This game's mechanics are very reminiscent of Persona 2, with the field and battle UI arrangement from SMT: If... or Soul Hackers. Some of the Arcane designs could use more polish, but I mean this in the sense I'm not sure what the dude was supposed to be. Others are weird, like the giant sawblade, egg, and the ship's wheel, but I can hang. And others are gorgeous, like the Pixie thing. My biggest gripe is the performance, even when I set my 2015-era AMD FX-8800p laptop to high performance mode. The load time coming out of classrooms is annoying, and the effects entering a battle tend to be unreliable as to whether they fire or not due to framedrop. And yet, the actual movement of and through the dungeon hallways was extremely fluid. Which is to say, it feels exactly like PS1 loading times and exploration on my laptop, if not for the effects dropping out. :D Secondary gripes are that the sheriff and first two party members guys' portrait art feels a little weird somehow, and that the font feels VERY default-RPG Maker. Some parts of the UI feel like more custom polish went into them than others. But you know what? I think I'm going to keep playing this anyway. It's on sale at time of review, but even with my gripes so far I say buy it at the full US$9.99 price. I'd love to see a sequel, or even remake, on a better-performing engine.
