Do not like how it's turning out. The whole magic charge is also a pain, though it's easy to make.

I haven't played nearly enough of this game to review it but, from what I've played, it is a fairly poor/average game.

The storyline is terrible from the get-go. How the introduction is organised is confusing and doesn't flow, at all. The game could start from the very point where the main character is teleported to his new world and it wouldn't make any difference because none of the preceeding scenes made any sense. If the preceeding scenes are required then, at the least, the bit about "I am Astyanax, I go to this school blah blah" should be removed because it just isn't needed. The developer could just have him wake up from the dream, go to school and then get teleported away.

The dialogue is just as bad. There isn't any reason to have the main character talk to the player at the start, for instance: Just get on with the story-critical scenes. There is also no need to use things like *a voice comes from the dark* when the screen is blacked-out and *everything fades* when the screen fades out; I can see that these things are happening, I do not need to be told them. The number of spelling and grammar errors is just immense and this makes the dialogue even more laughable.

The battle system would be fairly entertaining if it wasn't glitched. For instance, in the first fight your allies will damage each other if they walk into each other and will also damage you. Of course, you can't damage them back because they are your allies, but this makes it hard to tell who is an enemy and who is not when the enemies are not made clear by the preceeding scene. This is a massive glitch and it needs to be fixed.

The graphics are nice (outside of cutscenes - in cutscenes they are terrible) and I appreciate that, but this game isn't anything special: Just another RPGMaker game that fails to implement its ABS.
