Surprisingly fun
Great little game to scratch the old school nostalgic itch. Short and sweet, mostly on the easy side. Side content is fun to experience. The story ended up being quite interesting

This game was really fantastic. When I first fired it up it gave me that great nostalgic feeling I get whenever I play game in this genre.
Then I got a little over it. The game was moving along at a place that seemed incredibly fast. Not enough time to breather or get to know the characters. I was enjoying the battle system and the cool way you have 3 colors and they all have a weakness similar to a rock paper scissors sort of theme to it, but I couldn't get over the pace. Then things just kind of fell into place. There were a couple of endearing scenes (dance scenes anyone!?) and I was smiling and happy pretty much the rest of the way through.
I was satisfied with the story and the gameplay and the extras stuff you could go an explore. At first I wasn't a fan of the small world, but then I was happy it was small and easy to sort of memorize and traverse as there is no world map.
This is an 8-10 hour RPG that is going to make you happy you played it if you enjoy these types of games. I cannot wait for the sequel and hope more people find it than they did this one. Really great.
