Eredia Review:

First thing I wanna say is that, Eredia is really such an interesting, fun-filled mystery and war-themed game! it involves cinematic-like scenes that just makes you want to fully immerse within the story as the scenes carry you throughout the game!! it revolves around a hunter who's up for taking contracts and missions leading to different kinds of adventures!


INTRO/FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

The intro really gave a feeling of thrill as you wander around enemy camps playing as a very well-known warlord and a supreme elf! I really enjoyed playing through these scenes as it gave me an andrenaline rush from this point ti'll the rest of my playthrough! also the lore-related stuff like projection-magic and dark-silver soldiers was really cool!

Everything about it: the music, the atmosphere, the introductory characters; they were amazingly executed! made me feel like I was in a sort-of high-quality medieval-fantasy film! so to say it simply: the intro made an amazing impression of the game! :)

The UI of the game was also really very eloquent! I liked it! it really helped give the feeling of a medieval fantasy world! The menus, the battle interface, and the character arts were very nicely made!! And I am very amazed at how the game works at real-time! it goes night and day with a working in-game clock/calendar!! very amazing!!

STORY/CHARACTERS: "We surrender".."Really?".."We were just messing with you"! xD

The way the story unfolds and how the global events regarding the Eredia interconnected to the characters was very interesting and intruiging! And I was really quite amused and entertained with the main character "Kenrad", he was introduced immediately to be quite an erotic/narcissistic guy and I find him quite funny, the way he interacts with the NPCs and especially with the ladies!! xDD "there was a mosquito on your leg.. and as a hero--", haha!! and then I got introduced to "Elric" who possesses a psychological disorder which was really quite hilarious and thrilling at the same time (when he told his story and when they converse as he joined the party)! xDD Bernard and Ken's rivalry was also very funny!! I really find the characters and their dialogues with each other very witty and clever! I also love the thrill and mystery the game has regarding this strange girl "Akia" and her connections to the bloodthirsty murdering bandit! The investigation parts were the best and the way the culprit (spoilers) revealed himself, I was like "I knew it!! it was him!!" it really made the mystery more immersive and thrilling to uncover all throughout! it was very well done and nicely executed, especially the scenes with (spoilers) Akia and Shirven, as well as her backstory, very nice and touching!! xD!! :D I also like how "Rurouna" seems to say things that unintentionally had double meaning for others and always have "Sharina" to remind everyone of that! so funny and cute of her! xDD All I can say is that the story is at a smooth sailing and has a really great potential! I also like how each characters crosses paths each time, it's like somehow they are all intertwined to a single objective in the end! ;)


BATTLES/GAMEPLAY:

The battles really gave that nostalgic RPG sequence that you encounter in classic RPG games! as well as how the characters progresses through-out the game as they level-up was well planned out to better balance and scale with regards to the enemies they start encountering at different places. (reminds me of good o'l FF games). The socketing with rune-stones system was really nice too!

BUGS Found:

There are some minor bugs I found.. at the INN, when I talk to ariel to rest, she asks for 10 gold, it does subtract my gold by 10, but when I have 0 gold, it will still allow me to rest even though I do not have any more gold! xD also there was a bug when I picked up an item called "Fleet Foot", it says that it can only be equipped upon level 8, but when I "Optimize" one of the char's equipments, it automatically puts the Flee Foot on him/her! xD (also, there were some typos at the conversations during Kenrad's training with Mr. Vinoche, like additional "ME"s sometimes).

ADDITIONAL REMARKS:

The game really is an overall A- if I were to give it a grade! xDD yes, the demo may still have some bugs and minor typos here and there, but I always see things in Gestalt's point of view, which means it's overall aspects! and they were indeed great!! and I am always looking forward for more! now, I just gotta go back to the game and finish the ever unfinished quest of "Bats".. cause yah.. I forgot that little quest... anyway, I really think the game has great potentials! the music, the story, the characters and well.. the humor!! haha!! very nicely done!! ;)
