I have not yet finished the story. But I love everything about this game so far. The class system has tons of depth, allowing you to combine just about anything you want quite freely, somewhat reminiscent of the FF5 job system. The combat is great, and feels very interactive, the ship combat also being a nice diversion as well. The world feels very alive, and is super fun to explore, having lots of neat little hidden things all over the place. And the soundtrack is very good, seeming to take inspiration from lots of classic JRPGs, which feels familiar in a very good way.

Easily in my top 10 favorite games of all time. Do not underestimate how great this game is. While it is decorated with as a "pirate" game, the pirate themes make up only 1/3rd of the game. The other 2/3rds are filled with high fantasy and awesome magic. For me, I've barely entertained the pirate-ness and have been playing more of an adventuring experience where sailing just happens to be my mode of transportation. Which is exactly what I want. Imagine: - Divinity (environment interaction / elemental reactions, combat) - Mount & Blade (the traveling, economy, recruitment, etc.) - Fire Emblem (combat) - Stardew Valley (in art style) - inspirations from many others. There is something for everyone here. Notable things: - Living economy - Crazy awesome classes and character customization - Dojos - Arenas - Exploration - Great itemization - Engaging Combat - Tons of charming dialogue and world building - Every system is very cohesive making the game complex but very accessible. Its a low bar to get started and feel in control, but a high ceiling. As I write this I am 15 hours in. And I've only scratched the surface. Its the pacing, progression, the cohesion, and the well thought out story that only a CRAFTSMAN game developer would be able to design that impresses me the most with this game.

Horizon's Gate is a maritime epic that transcends expectations. The joy of class discovery and customisation, the depth of available mods that add to the playtime, and the seamless duality of gameplay from sailing to role-playing all create an immersive and captivating experience. While the narrative might not tug at the heartstrings, the engaging gameplay, strategic depth, great music, and charming pixel art more than make up for it. Horizon's Gate is a must-play for those seeking a naval adventure with a rich blend of customisation, exploration and challenging combat.

I should leave a review, considered the amount of time I've sunk into this game and how I won't shut up about it to my friends. I'm not good at reviewing buuuut I just wanna say how fun this game was. The vanilla game is a little bare bones, but with how easy it is to mod and add stuff from the community, this game really shines. There's something fun in mix and matching classes and sub classes, and see what works well together. I had fun exploring the whole map slowly on my first run too; if you have mods, this is even better considered the difficulty of some of the workshop dungeons are hard, and there's nothing more that fits an open world game than accidentally going into Kick Your Booty In land tbh. Also having a crew with zero human is a big plus, but that's me. idk, it's a cute and comfy game to me. It's essentially Uncharted Waters for the SNES, but with more regular tactic/rpg stuff in it, and way better species to play as lol If you like these things, chances you'll like this game.

Indie JRPG meets Mount and Blade with turned based combat and an emphasis on exploration. What is there to not like? + Very rich gameplay. This game has so many different mechanics, its actually insane its made by a small team. You have turned based combat, a classic RPG system with tons of classes, naval combat, trading simulator, massive world to explore, resource management, home base bulding, reputations to manage, crew to command and many many more. + Music is excellent. Truly has many memorable songs and the variety is very high. I'll be listening to some of them even after i beat the game. + Attention to detail and various gameplay elements are great. You can use ropes to climb down ravines, use explosives to make entrances, repair rope bridges, cut trees using an axe or cut through vegetation using swords, set fire to things, fill bottles with various liquids, push people off the railings to kill them or push them into thorns, make an enemy wet and then use lightning to deal extra damage, use a teleport spell to access places you otherwise couldnt, break enemy weapons and armours to make them weak, set them on fire with a lantern, set up traps and chokepoints. The variety this game has is amazing and one of the best features. If you think you can do something, you probably can in this game. This is a huge plus in my opinion and a breath of fresh air. + This game offers a huge sandbox where you can join factions with different perks and ships, fight, trade, explore, do it all. Once you are bored with it just go end the game, you can beat it and if you still want to continue, you can. A great mix between a story and sandbox gameplay. + Different build variety is huge because there are so many classes that you can combine to make something cool and interesting. One of my characters used flails and krakenslayer magic to wet enemies first and then hit them with lightning. Other was a spell casting crossbow/pistol hybrid, my main was a warpblade with teleportation magic and dual wielding. + Weapon and spell variety is great. You have swords, daggers, maces, axes, flails, pistols, crossbows, bows, shields and spears. Spells have a lot of categories including various elements, ruin magic, teleportation magic, healing magic, protective magic and others. + One of the biggest pluses is that the progression in this game feels natural. You have a quest log but usually everything progresses naturally. Dont know what to do? Ask your friend Reeve, she'll point you in a direction. This game has a diary system where you can write down important things like different vendor locations, dojo, arena and trainer locations and requirements, good trade deals etc. This is one of the few games where i actually used this feature. Please for the love of god, dont go to the wiki aftter you start, you'll ruin the game for yourself. + Exploration feels great. Sometimes you'll find interesting locations with cool backgrounds and nice stories. Some even felt pretty creepy. Enemy variety is pretty great, you wont be fighting the same thing over and over again. You actually get paid to explore and map out the world, find out about various items and locations. Its great that you are given an incentive to do something. The map exploration also has a surprising depth in forcing you to manage your resources. You can also experience diffent winds that will either help you or hinder you, there are thunderstorms, icebergs and organic enemies to watch out for. + Game runs very well on everything. Pricing is very fair for what it offers. I bought it with a 50 % discount which is a great value. +- Story is interesting but it isnt nothing to write home about. There are only about 4 missions total. This isnt anything like your typical JRPG with long and branching plot lines and characters. +- There are basically two characters you'll be interacting in the game - Reeve and Haggart. Reeve especially is pretty fleshed out. Other characters are not very interesting or have any depth to them. +- While there are many varied dungeons to explore, they are usually very short, only consisting of two or three screens total. There are some exceptions to this. - There is some jank to the game. For example you have a quest log and then if you press ESC you can see a different quest there. Why are there two quest logs? Various inventory screens and character sheets are functional but there are a lot of them. I wish i could filter through my inventory. Truly an excellent game. I am already hoping there will be a second one.
