What players say

95% of 8,753 reviews are positive · 97% of 98 in the last 30 days

Players praise the updated pixel art and music, straightforward combat, and options that reduce encounters or grinding. Common complaints include the thin story, limited mechanical depth, missing dungeons from some earlier rereleases, and uneven balance: much of the game feels too easy to some players, while the final boss can require grinding or hinge on random outcomes.
