LABYRINTH OF TOUHOU - GENSOKYO AND THE HEAVEN-PIERCING TREE
where do i start on this game’s review? heck if i know but i’ll try to leave it readable
the fun i have had in this game exceeds that of over 99% of rpg games i have ever played the combat is excellent its kinda like active time battle but each time you or the enemy gets their turn the atb bars stop increasing until everyone who has their atb bar around 10000 or so had their turn then atb bars resume increasing up to 10000 then those characters or enemies have thier turn rinse and repeat
the difficulty with the bosses is legendarily hard even by dark souls standards you will die a lot of times and when i say a lot I MEAN YOU WILL DIE A HEAP OF TIMES (assuming if you dont over power yourself because lets face it overpowered characters negating the challenge is less fun then stepping on the edges of lego pieces barefoot) joke aside the some of the bosses will take every single bit of knowledge you have from this game and any other similar role playing games to even have a slight chance take it from me i have been party wiped so fast i didn’t even have time to say darn i got shredded and owned lol (i party wiped so many times though not once have a rage quit because of the boss’s difficulty it happens because i made the blooming mistakes that made the party wipe happen oh for those fans of a certain super hard rpg game im not going to say who it is but all you need know is a certain npc appears from that series somewhere in this game when i saw them i was like nooo….. can it you are you really them? no blooming way its them (yes it was them i can tell because i played a good bit of that game series myself

Moonsters
Very fun little retro-modern mashup game
Pretty nice game with the feel of my favorite Pokemon game but with an updated and modernized look! The monsters are all unique and quirky in their own ways and so are their movesets. The Moondex is unlocked from the start of the game so you can see all the monster designs and they remind me of some of my favorite characters that I used to watch growing up! If you liked the original Pokemon games growing up, you should definitely try this game.

WINDSHIFT
- So fun to play, rating 81/100
– Real player with 20.8 hrs in game
I ADORE this game. Admittedly the translation is a bit odd at times, but still gives an overall sense of story. The skill unlocks are rather simple, yet sensical. There is a fair bit of grinding, but for those of you who like that sorta thing like me, you’ll feel right at home. The art is standout for an indie like this, even if there is some palatte swapping at times, it’s sort of a cross between anime and ancient Japanese drawings. Definitely recommended!

STORY
The protagonist was once a famous genius, but now he is poor.
Addicted to alcohol every day, he only complains about his past glory and persecution due to jealousy, so that people around him laughed at him as a “bragging scholar”.
One day, he woke up drunk and found himself in an underground cemetery with demons wandering around.
The mysterious girl “Foxy” who met in the cemetery taught him the necromancer magic.
At the same time, he met the undead girl “Kagaribi” who called him master and loyal to him.
A frustrated Ex-genius, an indifferent immortal girl.
Master and servant, owner and tool.
In the constant day and night, the relationship between the two seems to have gradually changed.
With the lost past of Kagalibi and the real purpose of Foxy gradually revealed, the ending of the two has moved towards an unpredictable future.

Review
This review focuses entirely on the port itself.
It has been updated to take the 2 patches into account that have been released in the 10 months after launch. The changes, as far as the scope of this review is concerned, are marginal.
Expectation vs. Reality
I fully recommend the game, just not this disappointing port.
Let’s start by setting the expectations with information provided by GungHo themselves:

GRANDIA, The Game That Taught Me Everything
This game is very dear to me. It was not only the first ever JRPG I played, it was also the game that made me better at English, taught me about consequence and danger and last, but not least what a great narrative can do to even hilariously bad voice acting and special mechanics you won’t find in any other series and as I just finally completed the game since the age of 9, here’s my honest review of this amazing game and it’s endless wonder!
