I have often enjoyed RPG games that go on the left-field and try something different. I found this game and finished it after a couple of weeks with fresh new experience taken in. You were shipwrecked on an inhabited island and take up the story-based quests to retrieve items or defeat bosses.

You'll get into a number of battles on your way there but come upon different events and dialogues with people you face. As much as the battles can get repetitive, they usually feel brief, the enemies vary nicely and the active combat system engaged me to decide my next move. The skills and level-up system take the cake of the game design, the training camp is like a set of mini-games that requires of your mouse & keyboard skills. It's easy and fun to get into but hard to master.

All in all, they reward you with EXP and stat points to grow your character fitting your style. Other feats in your home town includes building a house for increased experience rate, a tavern + park for your companions and a museum for your collectibles (which also increases your gold income share)! The game walks a fine balance when it comes to grinding, especially with the training but what bothers me a bit is the character writing. Sure, many of them are quirky and have some charm, although there are a few that come off too obnoxious for my taste.

I still recommend this game for both new and average RPG players, especially for its novelty in training system and progression.
