Tales of Seikyu

メインストーリークリア、結婚、稲荷神社納品完了まで進めました。 クエスト形式でやるべきことがリスト化されているので、何をすればいいかで迷うことはほとんどなく進めやすいです。(終盤とあるクエストで記載が間違ってて(？)時間取られましたが) 1年目春から重要そうなクエストがバンバン発生して、ストーリーが進んでる感がすごくあります。これ春でメインストーリー終わっちゃうのでは？と思いましたが、実際は夏の終わりまでかかりました。 毎日の掲示板をこなしてると、お金も貰えるし好感度も上がるので、お金稼ぎも好感度上げも楽です。 生活シミュ面では結構自動化されるので、いい感じにスローライフできます。あくせく働く必要はあまりなし。なおメインストーリーで必要な納品物は大抵買えます。 ワープ先を好きに追加できるのが神。時間の進み具合も設定で変更できるのも良かったです。 RPGに生活シミュを足したようなゲームですが、戦闘は難易度を選べるので、一番簡単にして遊ぶとそこまで苦労せずに進められます。死にやすかったらレベルを上げてHPを増やすといいです。戦闘してもレベルは上がらず、手動で上げる必要があります。 あとへフィのストーリーを進めると強い武器貰えるのでおすすめ。 個人的にはおすすめのゲームですが、インディーゲームだなあと感じるクオリティであることは否めません。その割にゲームデザインはCSゲームでも全然おかしくないレベルで、なんともアンバランス。 そのあたりに寛容な方にはおすすめです。

dear devs, imagine creating a REAL and NORMAL fishing system. you created the most ugly system and i hate it. i like fishing in every game, even in Far Cry5, but yours is the most ugly system ive ever seen

交任务一定要带着道具才能交是什么年代的老古董设定，反馈了还装死不回那我直接给差评，这种最基础的东西也不肯做，各种应有的游戏减负操作都不肯做，纯托节奏恶心人

this game is so fun and cute ! <3 i can see it being a favorite JUST NEEDS SOME MORE UPDATES ! AND MORE CUSTOMIZATIONS AND IT WOULD BE PERFECT!!!!

Pros: Farming automation comes relatively quickly and the idea of using different forms is interesting, even if they are mostly pointless. Cons: Incredibly thin NPC dialogue and character depth, weird sequencing issues which resulted in characters being unavailable or referring to events which had already happened repeatedly, combat is tedious and the dungeon area is one of the worst I've played since the original playstation. There is also something incredibly off about a lot of the character portrait art.

Was released from Early Access too early. There are still too many user interface problems that should never have been allowed to stand even in EA. The game locked up three times and forced me to end it from the task manager because the game vomited a series of tutorial popups and when I acted on one of those pop-ups, the next one blocked the UI from actually properly activating, leaving the game running but unable to control anything including bringing up the menu to load or dump back to the main menu. Crashed to desktop twice while running through the field, and I've been killed twice from enemies which the game didn't render. Steam? This is why you don't try to pressure people into reviewing a half-baked game.

It's difficult for me to decide whether I recommend this game or not. Initially I was going to give a negative review but when the first update after 1.0 came out, it gave me hope that over time this game will improve. [h2] TLDR Game feels unpolished. It's giving early access. a lot of inconsistencies and annoyance. But it still hit the farming itch I've been wanting the scratch. [/h2] [h3] Long Review [/h3] [b] Farming. 10/10[/b] LOVE IT. It hit the spot. Kinda typical for any farming game, but I wouldn't ask for more because it's perfect enough for me. I love the unique aspect of using your yokai forms to till and water crops. [spoiler]The planting scarecrow is a BLESSING. Wish it could collect the fully grown crops but it's alright. Yuki-Onna's crop plot is also great tho I wished there was another one, felt like 6 crops is too small.[/spoiler] [b] 10/10 [/b] [b]Fishing. 7/10[/b] Kinda unmemorable for me. I usually love a good fishing mini game in any games that I play but this one isn't hitting it. Though I feel like lots can disagree on this. I really love the fish traps so I don't have to fish and just collect the loot the next day. Only thing I wish added was an indicator on how far I can throw my cast. [b]Main Quest and Storyline 6/10.[/b] I really love the lore of the game and how they presented it. But there were inconsistencies with the story since there were side quests that relied on the main quest. Firstly I didn't know I had to increase relationship with certain characters in order to progress the main story which is something I don't like.[spoiler] Yohji's story first came to mind. His cutscenes are mostly comments from the main quest, But I finished the main quest before his cutscenes ever popped up. So he was like, apologizing to the player for being fooled by kababa and I was like, yeah I defeated the fox already you're kinda late there buddy. Another is the reveal of Anna's identity. It wasn't revealed yet to me who she was until Musashi's cutscene where Kincho came in to the casino and said WHERE'S MY SISTER. And then Anna's cutscene came in few days later and she revealed she was a tanuki. A lot of these instances happened during my playthrough but those two were the ones I remembered the most. [/spoiler] [b]Side Quests and Dialogues. 4/10[/b] Had to put this separately. I love the range of beautiful bachelors and bachelorettes in the game. I find it cute that when you fully maxed out your relationship with them [spoiler]they develop a fullblown crush on you.[/spoiler] Some characters have interesting personalities based on how they spoke, but most kind of sound the same. They all sound nice which is... nice... but I would want much more interesting conversations that show who they really are.[spoiler] I was kind of disappointed when I met Kincho. He gave off cunning leader vibes, someone whom you shouldn't trust the first time. And then next thing you know he became a sad boy and kinda political(?) based on his dialogue alone. Like when giving gifts, I don't want him to say that I am improving the relationship between both our clans, but I'd want him to respond in a cunning and almost flirtatious way, the same way his character profile is giving. I got excited when Uwabami popped up, he seemed to be the angry, serious type the first time he came into the island. Someone who doesn't trust you and has his walls up high. but few days after he came his first cutscene happened that showed his soft side and that was waaay too soon for me. In summary, I just want variety other than friendly faces.[/spoiler] Other than that, I really appreciate that everyday, there are two randomized fetch quests from random people that give you more opportunity to raise relationships with them and earn money. [b]Animation and VFX. 5/10[/b] This might come too technical, this is just coming from me who worked in General 3D and VFX for video games. So I can understand it may come too nitpicky but I hope it may help in some way. There's a lack in player animation that gave this game the early access vibe despite it being already fully released. First thing I noticed is that there is only two running animation, there is no side movement (where the player looks forward and moves to the side) which is really helpful during fighting. When I move around a lot the player just look like she's sliding around because she's just using the same animation. Second is the fighting. It's not that satisfying, and It's probably because the hits don't match with how many times I press the attack button. Like I press 2 times, why does my character do 3 attack animations. I click once, it attacks once, I hit twice, the second attack does two attacks. Which if I'm moving around a lot it's difficult to time. Like, I need to dodge immediately but I have to wait for the animation to finish before I hit dash so I get hit instead. ALSO Why does the Tengu carry a weapon when it doesn't even fight??? WHY??? As for VFX, only reason why I'm mentioning this in the first place is because of the fire VFX where you hit it with water it just.. disappears. I'd expect it to grow smaller and then transition to smoke which is very simple to do considering that this game is made in Unity, bbbuutttt I'm getting too nitpicky here already. Fire barely seems to pop up in the whole game anyway except for that one quest and that one area in the ruins. [b]Customization. Waiting for more updates/10[/b] There's a Lack of clothes in Ms Ama's store. But I assume there will be more based on Seikyu's Roadmap so I'm excited for that. I'm not a fan of the results when I dye clothes. It's not accurate since you only chance the hue, saturation and luminosity. Like I want some clothes to be black, but if the clothes is originally yellow, the clothes just turn to dark yellow. It's hard to obtain pure whites, greys and blacks unless you know color theory, so to "remove" the yellow, you change the hue to blue and bump up the saturation a bit and hope it looks black when you wear it. I also hope that they add much more options like ribbons can be a different color etc. [b]Others.[/b] I truly believe this game can be as great as other amazing farming games and I do have high hopes for its future. And just like any other games, I hope the developers are open for modding. I can see myself playing this game over and over again with different characters and pursuing other bachelors/bachelorettes. But as of now the only thing I can say for players who want to try this game out is... not now, wait a little bit longer after a few more updates.

Worth a buy even with some small bugs. Honestly more fun than RuneFactory 5.
