chuckroAfter suddenly being summoned to an unknown world, a high schooler by the name of Yusis learns of his destiny to become the Savior and face off against the Overlord - a being who threatens the destruction of Kreisia.
Most of the game systems (enemy styles, spells/skills, dungeon layouts) are exactly what you’d expect from the developer of the Asdivine series and Illusion of L'Phalcia; no big surprises here. I was going to be annoyed with the grinding, then I realized that (like those other games) there was a difficulty slider. I’ve never seen a game where the virtual keypad blocked off this much of the screen. I’m guessing it was added to the game as an afterthought.
You seem to acquire IAP points randomly over time—I’d occasionally check and noticed I’d accumulated more. There are a few decent items you can buy with IAP (the accessory that restores your HP to full every time you act in combat is impressively broken, and buying a second “heavy orb” lets you short-circuit several dungeons) but most of it has too many downsides to actually be useful. I have to wonder how much they actually playtest some of this stuff.
The “guy gets mistaken for a pervert” and “no one talks to each other” and “women react with hilarious violence” bad anime-style thing is starting to get old. Especially since it happens in every game by this developer.
While the translation is generally fine, the host of the battle arena is called “Tranny Maid”. REALLY?
SPOILERS:
They're obviously aping Final Fantasy X with the big "twist" that the summoned hero is corrupted after the final battle and becomes the next Overlord, and though I'm curious to see if the cycle gets broken (and how) in the "True" ending, not enough to New Game Plus the entire 10 hour game to find out.
Overall: There's nothing here I haven't seen before from this developer. It's not their best; it's hardly their worst. Middle-of-the-pack, only recommended after a number of other KEMCO games.
