So... This as an RPG that has many flaws. I love classic JRPGs, but this one here... This is a mobile RPG. I tried to like this game. I really did. I slogged through it as much as I could trying to 100% it and I just can't find a reason to try to complete it anymore. It's too monotonous. We have all played bad mobile games, but here's the rundown: You are introduced in to a lootbox style system very early with a currency known as ALP, which is just another Gacha game mechanic suited for mobile. The only way to "farm" this currency is by being level 70-90 and it costing a ludicrous amount of gold even by end game standards. This lootbox game has the best weapons in the game with the best effects you will not get during a normal playthrough of the game which is where the mobile paywall would come in. This ALP drops at random (Around 10-15% of the time) and is only given out an increments of 10. To roll for a chance of getting something good it costs 100 ALP, so you could very realistic...

Hello friends, Today i will write about the game Alvastia Chronicles. A ported mobile rpg game that has been put on steam. I never played the mobile phone version, so i will only review this version. The story is ok for a rpg, but don't be expected to be blown away by it. It also reminds me of older rpg's and retro games. The game has 100 recruitiable characters, where each one requires you a to do something to unlock, either kill xxx monsters, find a item, or find someone specific to get items from. Now, here are my pro/con list: PROS: - The story is ok, but do not expect anything groundbreaking. - Retro style graphics type of game. - 100 plus characters to recruit. - 2 endings, depending on how long you play the game for. - Controller worked fine..using logitech F310. CONS: - No fullscreen mode. You need to play it in windowed mode. Just increase the window to the size of your monitor and it should feel like full sized window. - No achievments on game. - Some dungeons have same ...
Alvastia Chronicles could have easily been part of the Dragon series. In fact, it has more in common with Dragon Sinker than even Lapis or Prana, thanks to the greatly expanded team mechanics. This also feels like the best showcase of what makes Exe Create Inc such a criminally underrated developer of neo-retro JRPGs. A hero's journey with endearing characters that hook you from the start, consistently entertaining dialogue, addictive fast paced action, creative character and item enhancements, and fun mini game side activities. The post-game content is larger here than in any of the Dragon games, as well. All of these things are refined here, and implemented smoothly. Nothing even remotely approaching the clunky Job Plate system in Lapis, or the limited store and hyperactive reward system of Prana. You can combine weapons, and transfer effects from one to another. You can enhance your warriors, use burst attacks and more, but as usual, you'll be a living cuisinart long before...
Alright time for yet another review, YAY! This time for Alvastia Chronicles. This game, is of course another KT game, and yet I actually feel this is slightly more impressive storywise than most. And it is all due to one major contributing factor, the antagonists. Or rather I shall say the antagonists' minions. You heard that right. Since the main antagonist of the game Valhyt, is NON EXISTENT. He does not show up at all until the end of the game. His four minions Griever in particular all for the first two acts of the game all seem to be a constant but inconsistent thorn in your side. And I LOVE IT. The only real drawback is that your first real fight against any of the tetrarchs happens SUPER LATE into the game. And its after a rather long section where THEY DO NOT SHOW UP AT ALL. It's very odd storytelling. I will say this has one of the oddest FAS out of any KT game since sure you have the villians making amends (as per KT tradition) but the reason why they did what...
Don't wonder, I finished the game offline with every archivement. So, after seeing the true end this are my thoughts about this game: first: some of the reviews are fundamentally wrong. You don't need to farm for the currency needed in the special shop. With just playing through the game you'll get enough money to buy everything you need. And hey, I used simple weapons....there is absolut no need to buy high class weapons from that shop....if you have enough cash your weapons are far better than those you can buy. So lets talk about game mechanics: You can recruit 106 members and put them into groups. There are 3 main groups (consist of a leader and 3 members)....and later on you get the possible to put members into 2 tactical rooms (6 members each)...they will give you boosts in magic and melee. There are 3 main parts for your characters: a) you get exp. during fights...till level cap 99. b) you get hope gems during fights and if a new member joins you. Those gems you can freely d...
This was a fun JRPG with a straightforward classic crystal focused story. The turn based combat features sub-characters with skills and attacks of their own that add a lot of options to your skill selections from battle to battle. There's some mobile port weirdness with UI and mechanics that don't match up, but the world is great to explore and there are loads of delightful pixel art characters to recruit. If you like retro JRPGs you'll like this one!
i'v played the game in the hardest difficulty and i was some times ez but the boos fight it was a real fun i did't try any other difficulty but the game was to much fun and the story is epic and the game play is epic and if you like the art style it will be the best experience and when the story end thir is a second chapter (i am playing it now) overall it is Worth buying
Ignore my time played, as I played this for free on the X Box gamepass and beat the game with the true ending. Fun retro styled RPG from Kemco. It is like most other Kemco released RPGs in that everything is pretty generic and looks like it could have been made with RPG maker. You go around the world, recruiting party members, trying to beat the big evil of the game. You get three party members, but each of them can have 3 companions with them, for a total of 12 members in the party. During combat you can have a party member and all their companions attack or you can use a party member skill. Note that if you use a skill from one of your party members, all your other members of that group will do nothing for that turn. That said you best bet is usually to attack every turn with every character. This will get you through most of the game, as the game is really easy. A big talking point for the game is the 100 party members you can collect. This is done in a suikoden style ...
