    Märchen Forest is an engaging JRPG if you go in expecting things to get weird. If you’re just looking for a nice little JRPG experience with enjoyable dungeon-crawling and rewarding combat, you can’t really go wrong with this one.

    It was fun while it lasted. I thought here's my perfect dungeon crawler. Interesting story, cute girl, simple enemies- perfect to relax.
    But    It was fun while it lasted. I thought here's my perfect dungeon crawler. Interesting story, cute girl, simple enemies- perfect to relax.
    But after 6 hours of gameplay, the difficulty skyrockets. They introduce a huge pile of unnecessary mechanics. For example... 50 seconds- this is for how long you can be in a dungeon before you have to eat and die of starvation. Let that sink in. No more exploration, no more fun- you just end up running around like crazy. Oh, and every door/chest is locked. One needs keys to open them, but they're extremely hard to get. And after you do open the door, there's usually 2 more behind it. It feels extremely unsatisfying. Unlock the door- find the room with 2 locked doors and 3 locked chests, go back with nothing, die halfway through cause you've run out of food, or cause an enemy killed you with one shot. Oh, and every time you open a chest, it might become a mimic and tear you apart.
    By the way, if you die, you have to wait for like 5 minutes of real time for debuffs to disappear... It's a singleplayer game! Why? Why convert your game into a soulslike ripoff halfway through? Is that some kind of a sick joke?
    I don't know what's the reason behind introducing all this, but at this point I don't even care anymore. Yes, I am curious about how the story ends, but there's no way I'm making myself suffer through all of that.    … Full Review »
