Dragon Spirits

Another one that I enjoyed way more than I thought I would, The storyline was fun throughout the game and I like how potentially losing a battle didn't stop you from completing the game overall. 10/10 and works like a gem on the steamdeck ***

Rough translation is an immediate turn off for me, especially in a narrative based game. When the tutorial is confusing it's not a good sign.

It's neat little game with some interesting ideas that I CANNOT recommend for three specific reasons. -The English translation is very rough, making any attempt at following the details of the world and story almost nauseating. Even worse, this issue can bleed into the gameplay itself, since in can make some already obtuse mechanics basically impossible to grasp. -The world is surprisingly large, which would be a positive if not for how often you will find yourself barred from exploring it. I found myself scratching my head on several occasions where I was not allowed to enter an area despite having already been there as part of the story. This might be a problem stemming from the translation issue, leading to further confusion. -The battle system has some unique mechanics to approach battles with (instant death/indirect damage), but if you try to build a team around them, you will find yourself punished, as most of the boss encounters will just nullify them across the board and will no room for counterplay other than 'use something else', which feels pretty bad ngl.
