Difficulty:
Just Right
Time Spent:
40 to 100 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"Highly addictive"
At first glance it's a game that you wouldn't even think about playing but as soon as i started i just couldn't stop. Don't be put off by it's cartoonish graphics, because it suits this kind of game and makes the environment you play in really bright, beautiful and explorable. The music is also really good, with each chapter ending with a piece of music made by chopin and it's history.

This game is loosely based on the pianist Chopin, it's described by one of the playable characters called frederic, "a made up world of his imagination" whilst his on his death bed and as you play through the game he keeps on reminding you of this.

This game is really different, at first when i bought it i thought it would resemble the whole turn base rpg you get from final fantasy, which by the way i hate with a passion, i've never really enjoyed games with restricted turnbase option but with game it's different, it may also be turn based but you are able to move around more giving you a more tactical appraoch to the game. It also includes a liht and dark element, which effects the enemy in a way that causes them to shape shift making them more of a challenge. This kind of gameplay made it more interesting and varied most of the battles that you were fighting.

Apart from that this game also has puzzles, as well as a side quest were you are tasked in finding music scores, that you can play with npc's of that world that gain you equipment and power ups. It also includes japanease voice acting which i an added bonus because the english one sucks lol.

overall i enjoyed it and am still playing it, what can i say am addicted and i'd reccomend it to anyone who likes rpgs.
