Rules



I bought a game called Sudeki on sale a while ago (it was two or three dollars) and finally got around to playing it. Honestly had a great time with it. The game itself wasn't even great or anything, and the ending was a huge disappointment, but it was hitting all the right JRPG beats and just kinda worked for me. It was originally released on the X-Box (the original), and the design is a pleasant relic of the time.
Worst part of the game imo is that the game is at its best when you have a full party and all of the characters are using all of their different abilities, but the devs decided to make literally every boss battle a solo fight with each of the characters getting one (multiple for the main character). That's fine for a few story / character specific ones, but doing that with every boss fight makes bosses the low points of the game.
There is also a very obnoxious sound bug in the last area (the snowy mountain fortress area), where the wind sound is absurdly loud and can't be turned down without basically just muting the game.
I wish there were more modern games that had this sort of scale, but with some more modern design sensibilities (especially with regard to quality of life features).
