Märchen Forest

Game has its charm but if I am being honest does not stand up by modern standards. It feels like a game from when I was a kid in good and bad ways. It has some of that weird charm. It also just feels clunky though to play. The whole first act feels just boring if I'm honest. Its probably one of the worst introductions I've ever played through. The second act has some good fun there but it is plagued by random encounters and frankly just boring grinding and terrible level design. It feels randomly generated in the worst way possible. There isn't a whole lot of complexity here. Also if you made good money in act 1 it doesn't matter. The shop in act 2 is limited to the zone you are in. IMO this game makes way too many mistakes that back in the early 2000's may have been acceptable but there are just tons of games that do what this game is trying to do better. Seriously look up nearly any other JRPG you'' have a better time. Go play Witch Spring R, Altier Ryza (1), any persona game, FF X, and so many more. This game just under delivers and the only people singing its praises are likely unemployed and don't attribute any value to how they spend their time.
