The Ino Chronicles: Ascension

After playing the game through a couple times, and now the voice acting update has been applied, I feel it is only right and proper that I submit an honest review. Please ignore the hours played - I am writing the review on a different account xD It is very rare that I purchase a game and then play it through completely from start to finish. However, this game by an independent studio hooked me from the first time I started it up. The 2D format, while probably not everyone's cup of tea, was very nostalgic for me. I will break my review into a few areas: Game Mechanics: The game mechanics for me are straight forward and simple. The battle system uses a turn based RPG system, which is simple to operate and very strong reminder of the Final Fantasy games which I also enjoyed very much. The battles, while not complex in themselves, still need you to think of your next move and plan accordingly. I especially like the open world aspect where you can go exploring. I found myself lost in side areas, due to my nature to want all the loots! Animation is good and while this may lack the visual impact of other games, I believe this is down to the limitations of the software used to make the game? Only my own thoughts however The Storyline - Without doubt, I can see the creators of the game have done some serious thinking about the storyline behind the game, paying particular attention to continuity. I have no intention of spoiling the story for someone who wants to play this - the story kept me guessing until the end and some of the outcomes where interesting to say the least. Music/Voice Acting: While I did enjoy the music, one slight critique I have is that the music was a bit repetitive after a while. I would possibly suggest changing the musics over so there is something a bit more unique about certain encounters but overall, I didnt mind it too much. I also give credit for the voice acting by all those involved - dialogue delivered crisply and one thing I especially approve of - feelings projected via the voices. Many times, voice additions can be bland and boring however this was not the case so all credit to the studio Finally, I can say for sure that this game has a high replay value. I have played this through twice and have started a third time with the full voice acting. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next chapter of the Ino Chronicles. Rating:- 4.5/5 Superb work :)

a very great game looking forward to seeing more

Game crashed on the third battle. Seems crashes are common based on reviews, and saving isn't available at all times. Not going to get invested in a game that crashes 5 minutes in. Also, it doesn't seem to have game controller support. At least I only lost $2 on this.

It's a fun game and I feel that I am getting my money's worth. Not sure if this is a bug , but the music outside of battle seems really quiet compared to the sound effects and battle music.

Every time i come out of the slave tent the game freezes up and i can not go any further, bummed cause i really like this game.

I just startedplaying this gem. I got some unresponsiveness during fights (randomly) but I really don't care about it. I see there is a lot of birlliant work in this and I like it very much. I can't recommend it enough it you are into RPGMaker games.

I really like this type of game but I can't recommend it because the battles are excruciatingly slow on my new computer, windows 11, because the ATB is so slow to fill up. I hope to come back to it when it's fixed and play again. If it's fixed, I'll change my review to positive.
