    Great game, very underrated. This is standard jrpg, nothing special with the combat system but everything is so well done with charming story. Maybe the difficulty not that so hard but it's very fun game.

    A very simple and minimal game that any young RPG fan would enjoy. Although too simple you must play with the intent of wanting to play. Great gem!

    I really liked the game, it mixes very well the farm elements found in story of Seasons and the classic popolocro RPG

    The two halves of Return to Popolocrois aren't equal. By the twenty-hour mark, I was enraptured with being a bigwig farmer, but the JRPG side had lost its appeal. I was essentially grinding out the dungeons not to advance the narrative, but to find items that could be utilised or exploited on the farm. I have to wonder what the experience would have been like had the developer done away with the JRPG side altogether.

    PopoloCrois follows in the footsteps of other hybrid genre JRPGs like the Atelier series, and instead of alchemy mixes in a heavy dose of a farming instead. While the farming aspect of this hybrid title is compelling enough, the dull combat and a snail’s pace holds it back from greatness.

    Some generic plots and sound issues don’t detract too much from a fairly strong RPG/farming hybrid.
