    Great little indie JRPG with hints of Suikoden and Saga Frontier 2. Don't pay attention to the 0 scores. Yes, it's a little short, but that has no bearing on how enjoyable the experience is. Go read the GOG and Steam reviews. They're much more reasonable.

    I have NO IDEA what the other user reviews are on about. Seems like some kind of sabotage attack or something because this game is just like a classic Suikoden-esque JRPG. Don't believe the 0 scores here. Something is really fishy about that, because nothing people are saying was part of the game. I played it all the way through. There was no "replaying over and over", hell there was barely any backtracking. That one guy **** about Kickstarter has some weird personal rant going on there which has nothing to do with the game itself. Greedy dev? Really? because they're releasing 3 generations of the game? These days it's not uncommon for small devs to release games in episodes...even bigger devs do that (Telltale Games). It has nothing to do with greed and everything to do with releasing what you can with the funding you have so you can continue the fund the remaining episodes. Just because the TITLE doesn't say "Generation One" doesn't mean they're being deceptive, it's clearly stated in the game's description on GOG and Steam that it's part 1 of 3.    … Expand

    Promises more than it can deliver. [Issue#166, p.98]

    This is a fun story driven RPG that shows classic elements from older turn-based and free roaming games of the sort alike to some of the original Final Fantasy games. Although if you are not interested in the story or the characters then it may seem a little slow.

    At present, Celestian Tales: Old North is a bit of an odd bag, feeling more like a prologue to something bigger than a full title standing on its own.
