WINDSHIFT

Story is interesting as for game play it's similar to Jrpg turn based games, but for this one to progress through the story player needs to grind and grind, sadly even with all the grinding it will take time to get money and points needed to unlock for skills, but i found it more easier to unlock skills needed, as for the first boss fight without unlocking the sword skill it will be very hard to beat the boss unless you have more than 20 health potions and taking lot of time, since the boss health point is hidden it's hard to know how much the player damaged the enemy. With high level and sword skill it's easy to beat boss. The player looks ugly while walking through the world but when player get's inside castle or places etc the characters and world look nice, also they can run, jump and move more quicker in dungeons while going through world moving is possible only by walking so it takes some time. Need lot of patience for grinding as it takes some time to get the enemies needed and in some places player won't earn experience faster also after level 7 experience needed goes above 700 and only the super strong enemies give a max experience around 150(mainly after defeating boss) and other stronger enemies gives max 50-80. Loots are all around the world and opening it gives points needed to unlock skills faster so check for boxes around the game world also boxes lying around in villages. So basically this game is for those who love grinding a lot, easy to get points to unlock skills but not easy to make money and experience points and need lots of health potions to fight tougher enemies to make experience faster. My review is more about what to expect while playing the game, to get through the story it will take more time it's not easy to progress through story without lot of grinding. After I progress more through this game will update my review.

I ADORE this game. Admittedly the translation is a bit odd at times, but still gives an overall sense of story. The skill unlocks are rather simple, yet sensical. There is a fair bit of grinding, but for those of you who like that sorta thing like me, you'll feel right at home. The art is standout for an indie like this, even if there is some palatte swapping at times, it's sort of a cross between anime and ancient Japanese drawings. Definitely recommended!

声優さんを使われていますし、お金をかけてゲーム作成されているのはわかります。 しかし操作性がかなり良くないと思います。 建物やダンジョンに入ると、それまで移動してきた向きとは無関係に基本的に右スクロールのアクションゲームっぽい移動画面になるのは許容するにしても、階段（坂？）をあがる為に、方向キーの右又は左と上キーをうまく押さないと階段をあがれないのには非常に困り、挫折しました。 次回にゲームを作成される際には階段の上り降りの操作でストレスを感じないものにしていただきたいです。

First of all the game is highly buggy. Magatama are the worst offender by just disappearing. There are glitched visuals and I managed to fall through the map with no effort at all. Not to mention one dungeon in particular where you have to restart the save if you make a just a single mistake. I could not complete the game, because of a game breaking bug where the map of[spoiler]the mountain where you are supposed to fight the Great Monkey clan[/spoiler] just wouldn't load. Movement is very sluggish especially outside of towns since you can at least sprint with spacebar in towns. The paper doll style of animation is quite unique and the designs look good, but does have problems with clipping at time. A particularly nice thing is the music and voice acting. The translation is decent, you can understand everything well and even if not intended it tends to add to the comedic aspect of the game. Either way on account of all the bugs, game-breaking no less, I just can't recommend this in good faith. It needs a patch then it would be quite alright in terms of visuals, story, gameplay etc.

- So fun to play, rating 81/100

The game doesn't look all too great, it's a standard classic RPG feel, which is fine, yet for some reason you can't even play this in windowed. It would look far better if you could play it in windowed mode opposed to the up-scaled fullscreen. Over-all it's not all that special of a game, lines play on auto, even if you finish reading and I've experienced a couple crashes when not letting the full audio of the line play. (Which since audio is in Japanese, some of these lines equate to 5 words, but he speaks for 3 minutes, so you have to wait for him to finish speaking or your game can crash.) There are many better games to play, I wouldn't waste your time with this one.
