The Tokyo RPG Factory releases another game with a depressing mood that causes my hippocampus to give out.
Granted there is some rare humor in Oni Naki but it’s rare, it’s like a upbeat Sweedish Suicide Film Festival.
It also establishes a time paradox, I am not terribly fond of those factors.
Similar monsters to I Am Setsuna, except, no Chrono Trigger style battles, but Action RPG type fights. Oddly enough this gets right what a lot of Xenoblade 2 got wrong. All these Blade like Daemons that aide you and basically operate as your weapon-partner, are discovered enroute through your story in night mode or via a lost member of your Watcher community.
Watchers are the characters there to see that the dead stuck on the plane get sent all the way to the other side.
Despite the story events and Daemon Speeches that can go on and be a bit down in tone, most of it is very decent battling and fights, be aware, it’s a dodge and attack sort of this, not a lot of defense.
The best Daemon to look out for uses chains.
It’s a very stable game on the Nintendo Switch, haven’t tried other ports.
