Fairly straightforward turn based RPG. Not too complex. I enjoyed the first 37 hours then reached level 20 and it felt like a bit of a slog towards the last few hours I played. It would be nice if the lower level monsters would flee from the party like other games I have played. It just makes for tedious and unnecessary battles since there is really no reason to grind after level 20. The attribute perks felt a bit underwhelming as increasing any stat didn't seem to have any affect on combat. I had a person with fairly maxed out defense and yet seemed to take damage comparable to someone with far less of a defense stat. The weapons that you can craft don't seem to make much difference either. The only thing that really helped was leveling up and once you reach level 20, well, there isn't much to do for character progression. The ability perks are nice. The revive after KO is extremely helpful. The graphics are nice and fairly detailed. The lore isn't too deep and the story is interesting but nothing really new. The characters aren't fleshed out and there I didn't really connect with any one of them in particular. At least no one was overly annoying. It is too bad that most of the good unlocks come late in the game and some of them are unneeded by the time you get them. All in all, I enjoyed most of it and would recommend if you like JRPG turn-based style games with not too complex gameplay.

Short review after 100% the game: A fun indie jrpg with a decent lenght of playtime and a 3d turn based combat system. Would recommend to anyone who loves older jrpgs. Pros: - Beautifull world, areas, concept and worldbuilding very impressive for an indie title - 6 characters with multiple stances and a limited (max 20 lv) stat and talent system which does offer some customatization - Avoidable (most of the time) mobs in overworld and in indoor areas - Okay amount of side quests (repeatable gather and hunt quests, some side missions and a secret super boss) - Decent and fitting music - Not many weapons (all are crafted), however weapons arent boring stat upgrades but more like sidegrades useful for specific instances which makes them less boring Cons: - Mayor con is very weak character development almost nonexistant, they talk a bit and joke around but not much else (this is evident in the case of Olia and PAT who barely have any story to go on) - Average main story, problem is the story and pacing are conected very badly (skipping to next plot many times) - Its a console port which makes the UI a bit clunky (battle camera and speed up resets for each battle, you use number keys to issue most commands and not for instance directional keys and then pressing enter or space, needs a bit of time to get used to) In short pretty okay game from an indie developer which makes it the first one in a trilogy, so i am looking forward to Earthlock 2. If its on sale i would recommend buying it and suporting the developer which has shown some promise.

Great Game. Good Story. Awesome Art style.

Very cool nostalgic jRPG. There is plenty to do, but it's not all over the place like a lot of RPG's these days. The achievements are very natural to complete, you don't have grind or pixelhunt for hours and hours, just be curious enough to explore everything the game presents to you.

If you are looking for a decent turn-base RPG give Earthlock a try. It has a crap story and good gameplay, but it is charming in its own way. Combat relies heavily into strengths/weakness system, you know the good old water beats fire, fire beats earth and so on, that system, but it has more than 4 elements. Characters have enough abilities to keep the combat fresh by allowing all kinds of mixes and matches. The level up system is not just stats going up, it also gives 1 point into a “talent tree”, kind of hardly call it a talent tree since you gotta obtain the talents and then equip them in a slot (you unlock 1 per level) on the tree. So for the story, ehhh… just sucks, well the main one is this generic evil guy wants to take over the world bs, the characters you play with, have very little development, by the end you will be like, who the heck are those ppl. I am not gonna dwell further into story, it aint great that’s all. Style, well I like it, both art and audio styles, it fits well. Yeah, the game its just good, give it a try during a sale.
