Indie Game everyone!

[Razrie]

Not saying this game is good or bad. But I feel like a lot of people are expecting more from this game than what it is. As much as I'd love this game to be as good as persona 5. Or any of the other big name rpgs out there. It's important that everyone keeps their expectations in check.

Good reminder! I played the demo and enjoyed it so I'm hoping for a nice full game

I concur. People, quit ragging on this title based on the demo before it even officially releases as if it were an AAA game produced by a company with hundreds of staff with a budget that could pay of a significant portion of the national debt.

I consume a steady diet of indies. lol

Due to plentiful voice work and some lush scenes, it may be more AA?

People expect a Baldur's Gate or Starfield-level experience with indie games. It's hard being a dev in 2023.
I think the demo was pretty good in this regard: I don't expect a masterpiece but I don't expect something terrible either. And it's good enough in my book.

Was this made by primarily one person?

[Outpost Omega 5]

I think I remember reading somewhere that this title only had one, or maybe 2, full time developers, with several part timers contributing bits and pieces here and there. It certainly has more than one person who can rightly add their name to the end game credit role.

Yes, yes it was.

My take on it: it's cheap, relative to AA titles, it's trying to be something that I like, it doesn't have the manpower or the funding to be perfect. It's going to have flaws, a lot of negatives, probably, but even after being underwhelmed by the demo, seeing the pre-release reviews and the release price makes me want to give it a shot.

This is a real, "enthusiast" sort of game, you're going to be in that JRPG jank and really need to love the genre and what this game offers to handle it.

I'll be happy as long as the game is fun and decently sized. I hope it captures the feelings of a good 1 season anime, that's why I got it.

Ain't it you the one expecting too much if ur expecting it to be on par with Persona 5?

[Geist]

It didn't plan on getting it but decided to try the demo out. Aside from the unity jank it was pretty well done all things considered.

I agree but I would've been if my baby Min lived:(

8-10 Hours, the story does wrap up aside from the lack of full closure on what happened to all the monsters/mutated people we killed. There's a hint with "My son is still missing." during the social media post-apocalypse but it feels like Lux may have hit a giant reset button.

I was actually unimpressed by the demo, tried it again with the pre-release reviews, then was thoroughly satisfied with the full game. It really should have opened up more combat options like the greatsword and active skills during the demo, to show off the depth you'll be using for most of the game.

Did you skip the credits of the Min ending and didn't scan your QR code? She's alive and you get your own Team 11 hat.
