    There’s a demo on the eshop, which will probably help even more to know if this is a game you’ll like. It’s a solid RPG that feels similar to the Tales of series in its anime style and themes. The battle system is fun, and the characters interact well together.

    I've had my eye on this JRPG since it was released on the Switch earlier this year. It was on sale on Black Friday so I decided to pick it up. It exceded my expectations, would recommend to any JRPG fan.

    I am a big fan of JRPG's and this one is another to add to my Switch collection. This game has solid gameplay and I have no complaints about how the game performs on handheld mode or on a tv.

    This game was pretty good but compared to some of the other jrp's available on the switch, I would recommend to get it on a dicount. Still very fun to play on the go

    I like the Draconic Launch edition. The steelbook looks really nice. The game is a ported PS3 game and it shows. I do not mind and it's great if you like classic RPG's.

    This game is definitely not raising the bar but for me it hit the spot for JRPG. Looks good, plays good, story is full of the usual tropes but I don’t mind.

    The game reminds me a lot of PS2 era RPGs. I didn't like the controls for the regular Switch controller, it worked better with the separate controller you can buy.

    A fairly Standard JRPG

    Been 10 years since the US last got a Shining game, and this one isn't likely to do the series much justice to get further games localized. It doesn't really hit any high notes for all of its focus on music. I'll play all the way through, but it won't stand out against other releases on the Switch. If you've already consumed all the other JRPGs currently available and are a fan of them, this one is a good pickup. However, for the casual player this may be worth a pass.

    It was not what I expected going in. Game play is fair. The start was a bit slow, but a more more interesting the deeper the story goes.
