Just sitting in my library, waiting patiently (and hopefully) for a Japanese localization.
Ok I really like the game so far, but a few things I’d like to ask. How do I sell my extra items? I also hope that maybe when you update again you can add new hairstyles and let us change eye color as well as maybe chance our starting outfit.
The developer describes the game as a "life-sim RPG". Personally, I'd say it is a puzzle game with a story with some actually interesting ideas and surprising ending with some additional things you can do: build houses and decorate the interior, grow plants, fish, cook, make tea (yes, really!) and do quests not related to the story. You can keep playing after you've finished the main story. This is not the kind of game I normally play, but I have to say I was sucked in and couldn't stop playing although I got really frustrated at times (let's just say I am not the best at solving puzzles) and stopped playing for a while. I went back eventually every time though. There is a "main quest" that probably should take something like 25-50 hours depending how fast you play (it took me 50h because I am dumb). Anyway, try it out. You might like it and even if you don't, at least it isn't expensive (there are discounts now and then as well). Recommended!
The game is slow paced but I enjoyed it. The game is a good idea but the maps are small and there is very limited things you can do. I was hoping for a bit more content when i bought it so it would feel more like an RPG, but there was enough content to keep me occupied. Tales From The Dancing Moon is polished and I have not seeing many game breaking bugs.
Попробовал, чувствуется как поделка у детей.
Fun farming sim! I was searching for something like Stardew Valley and this really fills the hole. The characters and the story are engaging, with self-aware and genuinely funny commentary throughout. I like the fact that the NPCs walk around the map and you can see this in real-time, it makes the world feel alive. Overall, Tales from the Dancing Moon has great soul and you can tell a lot of love and dedication has been poured into the development. Also, the soundtrack is fun and quirky, with relaxing vibes.
I loved this game it's worth buying it! It's a mix beetween rpg, simulation and adventure game! It has stories with lots of characters, like lots of side missions, plus the main story, there are fishing, cooking, mining, crafting, building buildings, brewing teas, chopping trees, and a lot if other things! It has sime kind of visual novel when you are doing missions for the characters of the game, and you get pretty involved in these stories, the best game in this genre.
