Midnight's Blessing is an adventure RPG with a nice plot, simple battle system, and maps that are nicely laid out. It's biggest flaw is the numerous bugs, which make the game impossible to complete in some circumstances.
The premise of the story is that a young girl suddenly finds herself running away from home, at her mother's request, to avoid some kind of danger. She must explore the world, and uncover the truth about herself, and the spell that was placed on her as an infant. There are occult figures such as vampires, zombies, and werewolves.
The plot is fairly well done, and there is a lot in terms of character development. In the dialogue, however, the main protagonist sometimes stands out as annoying (I am but a silly young girl in a big bad world), and the dialogue tends to run on unnecessarily.
The maps are large, complex, and fun to explore. It takes a while to figure out how to get to where you're going, and in the meantime, you are rewarded with treasure with every wrong turn. The town maps are equally large, and are often overpopulated with NPCs, to the point where you may want to skip talking to everybody. The few side quests I found are confined to events within the town itself.
Enemies appear on the map, and are a challenge to avoid. The battles are moderately complex. None of the characters are strong fighters, and all are better used for their special skills. Different enemies require different tactics, and often only one character is able to do significant damage, while the others can be used for status effects. Most battles take more than 3 rounds, and some take much longer.
Based on other reviews and discussions, there are numerous bugs in the game. I got to a point late in the game where I needed an item that could only be found earlier, and there was no way to get that item. Furthermore, the game guide is a separate purchase, which is not a selling point, especially given all the issues with the game.
I was not able to finish this game, so I can't give a thorough review of the story, but aside from the very major fault that blocked my completion of the game, it was a pretty good experience.
