Terra Memoria

Hab mehr erwartet.

Beautiful RPG with very intetreting mechanics and a nice story, I would need even more <3

Un bon RPG, qui s'il reste court pour le genre, est très bien fait. Si on n'aime pas les aventures à rallonge, c'est parfait. L'histoire est original, l'univers est posé ainsi que les enjeux. Le gameplay est assez intéressant pour tenir sur la durée. L'aspect construction de village aurait mérité d'être un peu plus étoffé, avec plus de casse-tête à résoudre et de liant avec le reste des mécaniques. C'est bon jeu, qui a le potentiel pour avoir une suite plus ambitieuse. Platiné en 14h.

Calm nice relaxing jrpg w/ a good art style.

Great starter JRPG! This is a short, sweet and simple turn based RPG that you can knock out in a weekend. I'll go into a bit of detail so you know what to expect as it wasn't quite what I was expecting but that's for better than worse. I'd say it takes 12-15 hours for a straight forward play through but it took me 20 for a completion run. All achievements extremely easy to get and none are missable. [b] Story, world and characters: [/b] Very basic twist on a sort of Final Fantasy like story line but not a huge part of the game. The individual character storiers are also simple and not overly fleshed out. None of them stand out too much except for Meta. The world and vibe is very positive and light with the antogonists or monsters creating barely any sense of danger or doom. [b] RPG Gameplay: [/b] -3 active characters for battle -3 characters for battle support effects but do not directly participate in combat -There's a turn order bar -Each character gets up to 4 skills to use in combat (8 in total but they come in pairs and only one version can be used till changed outside of battle). -Skill all either do elemental damage or heal. -Some skills are solo target and some are AoE. -Support characters can change damaging skills to heal (and vice versa), swap single target to AoE (and vice versa) or reassign the skills element (random each turn) -Support character pairing with actor character is randomised to keep combat more fresh but can be set up for more optimisation and less randomness -Skills need to be unlocked through exploration, puzzles and/or unique non-story boss battles -Enemies have elemental weakness (seemingly randomed) and get their turn delayed and damage taken increased when hit enough by their elemental weaknesses -No status moves or effects (except for some done by or happening to monsters) -No useable items -Equipment in the form of pins (up to 3 equipped per character) that increase attack, defense, speed and elemental proficiency -Pins can be crafted from resources harvested around the world (most found as you do your usual travelling) or from creature drops. -Other harvestable resources and creature drops are used for cooking (has a very easy rhymn mini game for each meal). -Cooking causes permanent HP increase per meal cooked (cook each meal type only once) -No need for resource grinding but a bit of running back and forth for some if you want craft/cook everything or just to get them to sell for money -Very simple puzzles (with one or two thinkers but won't need a guide) I'd say for the game's length, the overly simple mechanics are decent enough and definitely have the foundation for something more involved if they ever make a sequel or similar game. The difficulty is also as simple as the mechanics and you can easily over level if you fight and explore more than the story line would need you to, so don't expect much stragetic thinking or any challenging fights. [b] City Building element: [/b] A really cool element I think they under utilised is a casual city builder portion. You help some NPCs set up a new village and are a part of it. You get a nice amount of control over its design such as you get craft buildings for it, purchase decorations and nature features, place objects, places the inhabitants, terrain painter, add walls/fences, add water areas, etc. The design flexibility is quite crazy. Issue with this feature is the execution and purpose of it all. They give you probably twice as much space as you need to fit all the different available items so would have to start use more of the same items again to fill the space but there's really no point as the whole feature does nothing. No story impact, no actual logged quests (you get unlogged NPC requests but no real reward for doing them), 1 or 2 achievements, most of the NPCs and buildings serve no function (unlike a game like Suikoden for example) and the ones that do perform functions you'd see in normal towns you'd visit, and the decorations can't be crafted and bought from different merchants across the world (no two merchants sell the same decorations) so prepare to run around or fast travel a lot. Also the only bugs or issues I encountered were from this feature: One tree's inventory count can can go into the negative so place as many as you like, one item had no visible model (tree stump with axe), and many merchants sell you "new" types of infinite use decorative elements but for some reason you already have them all straight away. I love games where you can design villages/towns when it's not the main part of the game but it needs to have a purpose. If they do make another game, I actually hope they flesh out this feature more than the RPG elements tbh.
