Very solid NES style JRPG, with more strategic depth than many of the classics. Most enemies (I think it might be all) are weak to a certain weapon type, but most characters can only equip a few of the weapon types. There's a also a slew of very useful status effects when brute force isn't working.
And to round it out, the writing here is pretty good. It's not going to win any awards, but important characters are fleshed out enough to be interesting, and some of the dialogue is genuinely funny. The random NPCs are plentiful and build the world quite well, but don't waste your time with pointless dialogue.

So yeah. I think this game is pretty great. If Ephiam makes another game sometime down the road, I'm interested.
