If Yoko Taro made a 90s inspired 2D action RPG, you'd get this. Yes

It's got some jank, some outdated anime tropes due to it taking around 16 years to fully finish, but overall it's very solid and fresh. I was surprised how fleshed out the combat and systems were. I highly recommend this passion project, it is full of heart and soul with great characters! Check it out if you're interested, definitely won't be for everyone though

This game is the embodiment of "Make numbers go up = Neuron Activation." The story does have some parts that are a bit cringey due to being excessively lewd but I was willing to look past that due to the story as a whole being good, on top of the game being such a stupidly fun action RPG that's all about the grind but in a good way, where you start out killing slimes, and end things killing gods in true JRPG fashion.

Particularly recommended if you enjoyed Vanillaware's action RPGs like Odin Sphere, Muramasa, and Dragon's Crown, and possibly if you enjoyed Ys3 (The origina sidescroller, not the Felghana remake)

It's like if Nihon Falcom made a Castlevania clone like Bloodstained. Worth your time and money.
