![]() ![]() I've never played those, but if you imagine a more platforming-focused and stage-based Ys Seven, you're about 80% of the way there, so that's what we're gonna go with. It's a standalone remaster of a PSP original game that isn't quite Trails or Ys (though it NISA ostensibly calls it a Trails spinoff), with its closest DNA match probably being the Zwei games. Nayuta is an interesting entry in Falcom's catalog. It's far from the best game in the world but I had a good time with it this review does feel like I'm underselling the whole thing a bit but that's because the parts are less than the whole. If your interests occupy a certain part of a Venn diagram that includes Persona 5, Dark Souls, and tense post-apocalyptic drama alongside decent romantic comedy, then I definitely recommend Eternights. ![]() The plotting feels sporadic-especially with how characters tend to disappear and reappear between scenes and know things that you're not quite sure why they should-but it ties up nicely with what actually is an amazingly effective ending sequence that cemented my respect for the dev. There's a jankiness to it but there's also a great passion and a great understanding of how to emotionally engage the player. It really does play like an amateur passion project: story goes that the developer was inspired by Persona 5 to quit his job and make a game, and good lord did he do so. A guy who joins really bloody late in the story but he gets enough characterisation to make up for it. ![]() Also, one of your romantic interests is a guy. The tension of that doesn't last as you get a magic shapeshifting arm (that the game doesn't do enough with for my liking) but it makes up for it with decent characterisation and good humour. I played the demo a few months ago and it caught me by surprise with how intense it was with its magical zombie apocalypse. ![]()
