Sky Oceans: Wings for Hire

I'd definitely recommend everyone who enjoyed classic JRPGs from the 90s and 2000s to check it out. It's a fun little experience filled with heart-warming moments and cool characters. It's a little rough around the edges, but it has a soul, and you can tell the team put their hearts into the project.

Nice game! Amazing art, interesting mechanics, lots of story, you can see there is a lot of love behind it! 100% recommend it.

played with my pc controller and the flying sections controls were weird thoght i will have to get used to this then later put the cloud save on to my steamdeck and the conrols felt natural and fluid no keybinding it just loaded like that and tbh it feels better to play. im not too good at reviewing games and i have only just started just wanted to mention the differene

I think this game is very charming and I like that it's a sky pirate game with an interesting story plus turn based combat. It's different and I can see myself playing more of it for the story.

Good story. Boring combat. Controls and UI are janky.

私的には　最高のゲームです♬　序盤ですが　 飛行機好きで　RPG好きなら　体験版お勧めします♬ ただ　体験版では　日本語選べませんでした 思い切って　返金覚悟で買いましたが 良かった♬　これに　キャラクリ　名前の変更　あったら 神ゲー♬でした♬

I just started to play and it has been quite fun! The game looks very retro and there is something nostalgic to it that is hard to find nowadays. It feels it was made with love, although you can see it's an indie product with limited budget. Story is interesting and the world building looks promising.

Historia predecible y nulo desarrollo de personajes. Malas decisiones en el planteamiento de muchas cosas, sea exploración, batalla, etc. Parece un early acces. Reseña completa: https://www.destinorpg.es/2024/10/analisis-sky-oceans-wings-for-hire.html

I cannot recommend this game strongly due to certain content design decisions and because of how boring and pointless delaytastic the RPG battles are. Only from the steepest discounts. The most annoying part of the designs are the character face designs. The faces have no black outlines, so they are very difficult make grasp with the glance. Also most of them have identical shapes and are incredibly samey, meaning I forget the faces immediately after seeing them again and again. The shapes of faces look awfully uncanny and not real. It has the CalArts Flash animation feel that does not lend itself to making the characters look alive. It is as if they did not user test the designs at all. It is mostly the lanky slender characters such as the main crew that have the fake and dead impression. The side characters are fine. Maybe it is the dead-eyed look. The in-battle reaction faces are silly, though there is at least a reason for them to look silly there. I got this one from an Alienware Arena giveaway. I would probably be extremely disappointed if I paid the current full price for it.

Very buggy, sky box visible in the house, game crashes.
