Story: 10/10 (honestly a highlight considering how lazy some indie games are when it comes to story and just putting together something boring and predictable. I highly recommend this game to any fan of the genre, and without going into any spoilers, hope that with all the rich world building and open questions a sequel gets announced.

Specific actions move the cursor to the left.īefore confirming an action, a second smaller arrow will show up on the Overdrive bar previewing the position the cursor will be in when confirming it.After completing the game and 100%ing the achievements, I can say that this is one of the best JRPGs I have played in quite some time.

All party members deal 100% and receive 125% damage.All party members deal 125% and receive 85% damage.All skills cost the 100% the amount of TP.All party members deal and receive 100% damage.The bar is separated into three segments. Within that bar, the player moves forward or backwards during the battle, depending on their actions, indicated by a white arrow.Ī battle always starts in the Neutral (yellow) zone.

The bar consists of the title “OVERDRIVE” or “OVERHEAT”, an icon on the left and a bar separated into minimum 3 segments with different colors. The Overdrive bar controls the flow of the battle.
