Mar 16, 2022The game is good but it should be free at this point, it passes for a Nintendo switch game but not ps4, the graphics are outdated and the fights very few and not fun

May 7, 2022The Cruel King and the Great Hero is a game with interesting ideas, a unique visual style and a lot of potential, but it ends up failing in key points that take it away from its best and force the player to deal with its most negative points, spoiling quite an experience that could have been so much more.

PLAYApr 1, 2022The character designs are charming and the different locations are nicely presented with some pretty music for each different type of area. There are a few characters who can fight alongside Yuu, but, as useful as they are, they don’t bring a huge amount to the two-person party in the way of substance or uniqueness. The visuals really are the bulk of the game’s appeal and it’s hard to think of another RPG where even the enemies are so darn adorable. If you’re looking for something light and sweet, The Cruel King And The Great Hero certainly fits the brief. But so does a nice pavlova. [Issue#13, p.79]

Mar 31, 2022Just like the previous chapter, The Cruel King and the Great Hero tells an enchanting story with a beautiful hand-drawn graphic style, but fails to bring an evolution to the repetitive and unbalanced gameplay.
