7 Stories

This game is nothing great, but I appreciate the small amounts of inspiration it takes from either SaGa or Octopath. One of seven main characters to choose from, and you can freely recruit the other six characters in whatever order you wish, with a maximum of three usable teammates in battle. However, most team comps will probably include Lylia, as she’s a very good healer. Trust me, for the final boss, you’ll want a healer. The battle system is extremely standards turn based RPG fare. Not bad, but basic. The default movement is slow as molasses, but the game world itself is so small, it’s not too tedious. There are random battles, but the encounter rate is very low, and the exp gain is quite high. The story is minimalistic. It’s nothing special, but there’s a singular decent plot twist near the end. This game is exceptionally short, beatable in a little over an hour. All in all, this game is nothing special, but it’s a good palate cleanser after finishing any longer, more involved rpg. I give it a 3.5/5. Round up to 4/5 because I’m generous.

I like that it has 7 characters to choose from. It’s basically a classic RPG style game. There are townspeople and a world map. Apparently it’s made using an RPG maker though that’s fine with me. Only thing I don’t like are the black bars on the screen— it should be updated for the latest devices. It would look much better if it didn’t have them. I only played a bit so far, and it’s pretty decent. Update: there’s been an update although I still see black bars on the edges of my iPhone 11.

This is a very fun game which reflects the creativity and skill of the developer. I also truly enjoyed the sequel to this, 7 Souls. Thanks for the fun!!
