    Astlibra Revision can be a bit grindy at times and has a lot of dialogue, even for an action RPG, but I’d be remiss if didn’t say this is one of my favorite games I’ve played recently. The game looks and feels like you’re playing an anime (complete with intro sequence at the start of each chapter) and the music is really hard not to rock out to. If you’re into action RPGs or just want to give this a shot, you can check out the demo before hand to get an idea how mostly everything works. Once you’re ready to dive into the full game, there’s not much more to say but enjoy.

    Astlibra Revision is a prime example of what time and dedication can achieve. Its narrative expertly blends time travel concepts with high fantasy tropes, creating a captivating and memorable experience. Combat sequences, whilst chaotic at times, are unbelievably addictive and entertaining. Additionally, the numerous customisation options means you’ll easily be able to find something that suits your playstyle. Visually, it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. Yet, it still manages to retain its own charmful, and alluring qualities. Lastly, the musical arrangements cover a wide array of genres. All of which feature fantastic instrumentation, and spectacular melodies. Truly, what KEIZO and his team have managed to create here is nothing short of outstanding. I highly recommend everyone to seek this one out ASAP.

    Astlibra Revision is the most unconventional JRPG I’ve ever played. Its story is absolutely wild and unpredictable, making the experience a captivating one. Even when considering translation faults, this plot will strap you in for the long haul. Further, the gameplay systems are refined, giving rise to cathartic growth and customization. On top of that, the soundtrack is masterclass.

    With big boss fights, fun combat systems, and a charming story featuring justice and righteousness, ASTLIBRA Revision is a great 2D action RPG and well worth the time investment.

    If you’re a fan of classic 2D adventures, Astlibra Revision offers a retro-inspired quest worth undertaking, and I am genuinely glad that this review crossed my desk because, without it, it would have very likely evaded my attention. Do yourself a favor, and do not let that outcome happen to you.

Until I found Astlibra… The gameplay, the story, the art style; everything about it sings! It’s going to be a late bloomer. Soon enough, word of mouth will carry. If you are looking for an action RPG or/and love Metroidvanias, this is your jam. It’s a bloody masterpiece!!! Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 2023年玩过的JRPG中最好玩没有之一。战斗系统搭配十分的丰富。剧情方面我觉得真的比某些老爱播片但是连个故事和男女主塑造都没写好的JRPG强太多(字符限制写不了太多) Expand

    Good story, bad fighting.
    But I think every problem for this game can be solve by a remake.
