    I really liked the game.
    for me it wasnt as good as Death end Request but still a really good Iffy RPG.
    i think the combat, game mechanics and characters were very interesting and even better than in death end request but the Main Story was kinda lacking and not as strong. I really liked the gifting system which kinda reminded me of persona social links and also the dragon collecting    I really liked the game.

I really liked the gifting system which kinda reminded me of persona social links and also the dragon collecting mechanic also felt similiar to Persona Games. Level design was never Iffys strong side but this time it felt espacially bad and was probably the weakest part of the game.

    All in all i would still highly recommened the game espacially if you like other Iffy Games.    … Expand

    An amazing cast of characters, one more lovable then the next. The gameplay is a combination of what Compile Heart and Idea Factory fans have grown to love and a more in-depth costumization making it possible to make each character any "class" you would like, tho obviously each character is suited better for one or 2 things respectively. All in all another great niche title that anybodyAn amazing cast of characters, one more lovable then the next.

    That’s really the best way to think of Dragon Star Varnir: as a much more interesting take on the Idea Factory formula. True, I may think differently if it turns out to be the first of a dozen or so takes on the high fantasy genre set within the same universe over the next decade, but right now, this seems like a fresh new direction for the venerable JRPG maker.

    Dragon Star Varnir's dark world of witches and warfare is unlike anything else Compile Heart and Idea Factory have put out. Unfortunately, the experience is brought down by less than stellar visuals and doesn't make the most of its main gameplay innovations.. There's an interesting story to unfold here, but actually playing the game to get to it might be a challenge best left unmet.

    Deep, strategic combat and an intriguing story will keep you playing, even though Dragon Star Varnir mostly plays it safe. The level design is especially old-fashioned, but don't let that stop you.
