Scarmonde

A game catered to all the uncs to reminisce about the days when they were young, healthy and happy, grinding away combat in jrpgs. Very little substance to this game, 90% of your playtime you'll spend fighting the same few enemies where you just hold one key to attack, unless you wanna unnecessarily hyper optimise everything and use spells to do a bit more damage.

Had my eyes on this game for a while and picked it up on a whim a bit ago. A really good dungeon grinder. Taking advantage of status ailments in battle, even against bosses, is fun. Also encouraged, since they take advantage of hitting you with status ailments, too. Enjoyed exploring the many dungeons and the world. 99% of the music in the game is a banger. I honestly have nothing bad to say about the game.

Neat little game with fun battle mechanics. NES FF era aesthetics. Nice spell effects and animations. If you like thinking about party comps and builds and like the 8-bit presentation, this game is for you. The only 'weak' element of this game is the story, which is a by-the-books excuse plot. There's also a randomly generated dungeon you can play instead of the main game, and there's post game content too.
