Celestial Hearts

Another fun JRPG game by Joshua Keith. Although I didn't find the narrative as compelling as Knight Bewitched it was still an interesting and fun adventure. The hard difficulty is pretty challenging if you're looking for a tough cookie to grind out. There's enough connective tissue to other games to keep things interesting and enough new developments to be intriguing. Like his other games there's plenty of optional content and secrets to find as well, and a deep and competent combat system with many different build approaches for you to find the right style that you enjoy and/or to tackle bosses in a specific way. I don't see a high-replayability factor here but if you're looking for a charming JRPG game with a complex combat system and some fun characters this is a great little game to spend 20 hours on. You don't have to have played any of the other games to enjoy this game's plot but it will make certain characters and interactions make more sense with Knight Bewitched contexts. The game regularly goes on sale for a dollar or two which is a STEAL but even for 4.99 this is a great little RPG to enjoy a few weekends exploring.
