    De todos los JRPG que he jugado este año, el que más he disfrutado. No es un JRPG comida rápida, es uno hecho con mucho trabajo y transparente amor por su obra.

    Diseño de niveles bastante bien, combate sencillo a nivel de mecanicas pero efectivo, exploración sobresaliente, duración de unas 20 horas. ¿Que es lo que destaca de este juego?

Bien, lo que algunas veces llamamos esencia: la banda sonora es intima e introvertida, la protagonista tiene un carisma despreocupado que atrapa, la historia no es una obra maestra pero si excelentemente escrita; en conjunto, una obra con identidad y por encima de todo una fantasía profesional. Ojalá llegase a más gente.    … Expand

    Neat little 16bit JRPG package. Story was actually quite enjoyable with a few good twists and turns. I played on expert and it took me roughly 28 hours to complete 100%, so definitely worth the price. Art style is pretty cool, a few really nice soundtrack pieces too.

    The game pays homage to turn-based RPGs from the 16-bit era. The soundtrack is wonderful. I just really missed an open map for walking and more playable characters.

    Ara fell is a good classical jrpg with basic turn-based combat. The story is good enough to keep you interested, a bit of cliches but that is totally in style of 16-bit jrpg's of the golden era. The battle system is relatively simple with attack and handful of spells. The game lacks a bit of polish, I think I picked a hard difficulty level but nevertheless the 99 % of the fights quite soonAra fell is a good classical jrpg with basic turn-based combat.

The game lacks a bit of polish, I think I picked a hard difficulty level but nevertheless the 99 % of the fights quite soon turned into throwing same set of spells without much thinking, rest few boss fights making up weird difficulty spikes. The lack of polish shows up rarely in the game itself, some collisions are programmed wrong and you can walk through walls here and there with few cases of walking through invisible paths also being required to advance in the game. Definitely worth picking up if you haven't played a classic turn-based jrpg in awhile and from discount sales.… Expand

    Ara Fell: Enhanced Edition isn’t a terrible game; it just feels like one that I’ve played a million times before. The trope-filled story left much to be desired and, even though the combat can be fun, it is still the same turn-based combat gamers have seen time and time before. The game is clearly trying to have the impact of some of the excellent RPG classic of our time, but these clear inspirations are what make the game fall short.
