Why players love itThings to know
59% of themes are praise8% are divided33% are complaints
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
125 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It modernizes the combat by using a simultaneous turn-based combat system instead of using decisions or dice like a traditional gamebook would, has 15 characters to choose from (each with their own nicely-crafted miniature), and has quite good 3D graphics.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is fun for the first few hours but quickly overstays its welcome once you learn the combat system and want to skip ahead to certain points of the game.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
100 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Most characters' stories have been interesting enough to keep me going through the Mountain over and over again.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The character figurines are very detailed (whether they're playable characters or enemies), the rooms get furnished and populated as you open their doors like someone's dropping the elements from above, and there's even an omnipotent Dungeon Master.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I will not spoil anything , however , my advice for those who have not played the FF game books before , keep the unusual things you find if possible ;) The Graphics and art are really cool , imagine a tabletop game where the figurines are alive !
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music is nice and fitting to the game's themes, the sound effects are like a mix of cartoony and exaggerated board game foley; it's a good mix for getting into that CYOA feeling.
