I like it, but I think I beat it without finding all the stuff. Which stinks because I wanted more of this game. One complaint. The "you have a new puzzle to solve!" sound (OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) is way too loud, and way too long.
What happens when you beat the shadow? I never did. Also, the cutscene art SUUUUUUUUCKS. The in-game sprites were fine, it's just the pseudo-anime crap was extremely mediocre.
Well, I really liked it at first. I didn't join a guild, just built up a lot of money, I thought the trading and economy was great. Was a little confused, there seems to be no way to tell if a town will be easy or hard to take over. Later on, after I had built myself up, the enforcer quests were more annoying than hard, and here I encountered bugs. Oh, the bugs. I had to refresh the game about twice every five minutes, because I had run into a game-breaking bug. Disheartening, but overall a fun game, if a bit repetitive.
Anyone who says this is a good game obviously played it as a child and has nostalgia for it. Otherwise, no one would bother wasting their time. There are better things on this website that you can play.
