Moekuri: Adorable + Tactical SRPG

Гуд.

Overall: pretty good game but with some major flaws. (–) The game has a max resolution set at 800x600 which nobody mentioned at it's store page. Fullscreen is broken, doesn't support 16:9 resolutions, distorts image if you try it on them and usually crashes with alt-tabbing. While windowed can't be stretched. That was a strong point to refund, but I decided to give it a chance. (–) Even in windowed mode game could glitch in the middle of a battle forcing you to restart. (–) And about keybindings — you have to check steam discussions page to get a hint. They don't mentioned anywhere in the game itself. And it could become a big problem really fast — you can't even close configuration menu with escape key, because it closes the whole game (don't press escape in the middle of a fight, don't make mistakes I did). You also can't close that menu with some “close” button because there isn't one. Instead you should do right mouse click — and it's the way you close any menus in the game. (+) If you managed to beat starting UI challenges, game gives you its best. Gameplay is really satisfying and highly resembles strategy card games. You have to build a team around game mechanics to get some tasty cumulative effects. You can go the easy way and abuse elemental effects with a team based on solely one element (this is how I beat the game), or try some combinations with abilities and skills to broke the game completely. (–) And this is where gameplay flaw hid. And it's a flaw with UI again actually. Yes, there are huge possibilities to combine things, but only in theory. In fact, you have to max out to 50 all creatures to get a gist of how to combine them in a best way possible, because you don't know what skills they'll get on a road to 50. And they could be really important and powerful. There is no “show yet unavailable skills” button or something, so you have to guess and try max some creatures out or deal with things which are already on the table. Also, unfortunately, game is not very popular, so you can't rely on guides to save some sweet time like you could in other games with complex mechanics — there aren't many. You can avoid the trouble with buying all creatures with gems on 50 lvl. But if you occasionally forgot to set “get creatures of master's lvl” or got most of them via Iruse's grimoire, you screwed, because there is no way to level up creatures with gems. Also you can't dismiss low lvl creature and get high lvl one with gems too — there is no such option. Grinding gems is ok — there is nothing cheat engine can't fix. Grinding training points is ok too for the same reason. Grinding 500 victories for the achievement could be done easily with autoclicking software. But having to grind exp to get creatures to 50 just to know if they are useful or not for the setup you're trying to build — this is a little bit too much. If it wasn't it, I could recommend the game despite it's technical flaws easily. Unfortunately, I can't. Idea behind is great, but details ruined it for me.

Какая же классная игра! Ловишь себе тянок, прокачиваешь их, проходишь длиннющие сюжетки (которых, как я понял, где-то 10, как и классов). После сакуры данжеона вообще как-то залетела. Рекомендую всем любителям стонающих маленьких девочек в законе (и не только маленьких (и не только девочек (нет, только девочек))).
