Was thinking the same thing. Been looking for some stuff to load on the Deck for downtime at work. Never got around to these before.

    I was excited for the first one, played about 65% of it & it became a chore so I quit. Never played the second, figured it was more of the same.

    Second this. What broke it for me was the amount of absolutely pointless fights while traveling. And you travel a lot, as the name suggests.

    I get trying to make an old school, grindy RPG, but it just fell flat.

    Grimstone from UFO 50 is the game I point to for how to do a retro RPG well. Hell, all of UFO 50 is fantastic, I home there's a sequel.

    Good to know, I search right now for more light RPGs. Started lufia (or lufia 2 in the us) a couple of days ago and its incredible ungrindy, but still realized that those games more a now and then for me.
