[h1]An interesting RPG/Visual Novel hybrid that gets bogged down in RNG-heavy combat and lacks solid cohesion for various aspects of the rest of the game.[/h1] https://youtu.be/KKSg9FW2O2Q https://youtu.be/2lIxrysL2t0 Ok, look. The main thing I want to get across is that Sacred Earth - Promise, IS a decent game. It’s got interesting, quirky characters, has some decent puzzles on the explorable maps, uses an interesting dungeon explore ‘board’, and has some really amazing artwork. The problem with all that is that almost none of it really gels well with the other parts. This is a game that, at its core, has heart, but lacks a solid cohesion. Take the art, as a prime example. I counted no less than four different, distinct art-styles being used in the game. Each were amazingly well done on their own, but why so many? I’m not sure if this was intentional or not, but it was jarring for the player. It pulled me OUT of the story, instead of drawing me IN. I can understand the eff...

Story: Priel Aylin is a Dragonkin mercenary who often finds herself working alone, but ends up fighting alongside her estranged sister Perrine for the sake of a tag tournament. After winning, they discover that their opponents are actually criminals and that their old chuuni friend, Fate, is working with them for his own purposes. This conflict eventually forces the sisters to confront their grim past in Icefall, their strained relationship, and their outlook on life. For those that played the original free version from RPGMaker.net, there's some new dungeons and story segments between the old ones, as well as a True Ending if you complete all the sidequests, which leads into future entries in the Sacred Earth series.

You can't use items to quickly restore any of these resources, but the game is balanced so that you can sustain yourself with support skills, EX Heal, Focus (basically a ...
Sacred Earth - Promise is a fun RPG. The thing that appealed to me the most was the combat system. Its a little like a fighting game combat system in a RPG. Spend a lot of time building meter to do big attacks that form a combo. Has a nice story and lots of party banter. If you try the demo and enjoy it you'll probably like the whole game.
