The Alliance Alive HD Remastered

36.41 hrs in-game clock when I finished this game and got the normal ending. Games developed by Furyu are usually a miss for me but I thoroughly enjoyed this one a lot. Here are my thoughts right after I finished the game. Likes: 1. Lovable cast with good character designs similar to Bravely Default series 2. Great open world exploration with lots of secrets to discover. 3. Lots of character customization through weapons depending on your preferred play style. 4. Turn based gameplay is simple yet complicated at the same time (with banger battle theme). You can also toggle auto-battle so grinding is less painful. 5. You can recruit NPCs that you encounter to assist you in your guild. 6. Some dialogue choices matter 7. Lastly, SNOW BUNNY Dislikes: 1. Lack of voice acting. 2. Story is nothing really that mindblowing. 3. So many things you can miss once the game opens up. 4. Grinding talent points was a pain so use them wisely. 5. You can't overgrind on the same enemy (can be viewed as pros as well) 6. That one chapter where you need to split up and use different characters. Overall, I enjoyed the game for what's it worth and definitely would recommend it for it's fun, simple, yet challenging gameplay.

Though its progression systems can be difficult to parse at times, this is a JRPG gem on Steam that fans of the genre should consider giving a shot.

Basically a SaGa game. Has most of that series gameplay mechanics. Generally more easier and less non linear (at the start) than your average SaGa game. Enjoyed it, but port is very minimal and it did crash couple of times.
