What’d you think?: I’m beginning to lose my patience for Japanese-language JRPGs. Once I get stuck, it takes some really compelling stuff for me to be willing to grind my way through the all-too-common problem of not going where to go next because I didn’t understand when someone told me explicitly where to go next. This game didn’t have any of that compelling stuff. It had a cute aesthetic, but the combat was a simple card-battling game (that could be recreated with a standard 52-card deck, nothing complicated) and the consequences for losing battles seemed minimal. Seemingly without the possibility for a game over screen, I tapped out after an hour.
