The writing is poor and the characters each have exactly one trait that determines all their interactions. But the knowledge of old RPG systems that went into this is very high and it was a joy to tease apart and learn how to build a team that excelled. A

This game is good enough for a Yes, but it really doesn't live up to the glowing comments in the other reviews.

- RPG mechanics/balance - it's very standard fare but the balance remains "good enough" through the whole game, thanks to good ramping up

There's a lot to like about this game, for example:
- Light-hearted story with a lot of funny dialogues
- 8 party members (2 of them optional) that can each fulfill several roles in battle
- Decent playtime, especially for completionists
- A huge world m

Chock full of story and optional dungeons (which always contain highly worthwhile treasure as well as a good mix of unique background art/tiles/layouts), good music, a solid difficulty curve that keeps you on your toes but isn't overwhelming nor encourage

Only a few hours in but this game checks a lot of boxes for me. It has reassuringly retro visuals - the combat screen will be very familiar to JRPG fans of a certain age. The modern conveniences like dependably being able to run from battle make this a le

If you like to ignore the main story and wander about the world to render yourself as OP as possible, this game is for you. It seems specifically designed with this in mind. As soon as you get the boat, you can reach about a half-dozen optional dungeons w

Awesome game, I felt the game was surprisingly lighthearted after playing the developer's previous game.
I was blown away by the itemization, I was finding new unique equipment all the way even into the final dungeon.
Next replay, will definitely try to b

Thumbs up with a BIG Asterisk
This game is to me less an ode to older JRPGs but instead modernizing certain aspects of the experience while maintaining the roughness and jagged edges the genre used to have. Having played Venaitura, their previous game,

This is a fun RPG, but it suffers from the same problem as the developer's previous game. Toward the end, the amount of random battles you fight make the bosses too easy. Otherwise, it's still a fun RPG if you want an old school vibe.

To Aerthen is a retro-inspired turn-based RPG that definitely doesn't take itself overly seriously. Heavily inspired by the older Final Fantasy titles, as well

Overall an interesting game, kind of cute, nothing too crazy on story though (the comedic aspects of it are ok but get tiring sometimes and get in the way of any kind of epic tale or experience) but has a decently balanced gameplay experience.

If there ever was a game that needed a place between recommend and not this is it.
The gameplay is good, while it's your standard JRPG fare with turn based combat enemies do feel different enough that it never goes stale.

I found this game a very enjoyable experience so far. The tone of the game is rather light-hearted due to the bantering of the cast from the protagonists to the antagonists. In fact, the party are like a dysfunctional family where a few of them will kill

Amazing JRPG, very oldschool NES-style (I played FF1 on the NES a lot). Unlike your typical fantasy RPG fare, it has quite a lot of jokes and funny situations, character conflicts, etc. and makes it really interesting to play through.

Tried this after finishing Scarmonde, which is a fantastic game. Sadly, To Aerthen is not a fantastic game. I don't regret paying for it, because I'd happily pay for Scarmonde twice. Anyway, go play Scarmonde instead of this.

[h1]A game that is both good AND retro enough to feel like it dropped out of an NES bin at a thrift store.[/h1]
This dev just makes the best retro-flavored games that both feel new and old at the same time. Great writing, interesting characters, and fun

My first thougth was...nice, looks like an old 8-Bit RPG....but after 2 hours playtime it was more like...oh, another dungeon with endless fights that only stretch the playtime...and at 3 hours it was enough for me and I deleted all files.
