Plot Summary (Spoilers)

  • General Valmore betrays the Cornian royal family; Queen Ilenia falls, and the young prince Alain escapes with the ring of the Unicorn Overlord.
  • Ten years later, Alain comes of age and sets out to free the continent of Fevrith from the Zenoiran Empire.
  • Alain gathers allies from Fevrith's nations and rescues the priestess Scarlett, who has a secret of her own.
  • Zenoira's faith was brought from across the sea; its ruler, Emperor Galerius, turns out to be an ancient soul possessing bodies since an old war.
  • Alain's late mother is revealed as the one behind the ancient seal; Galerius is defeated and Fevrith is liberated.

My Thoughts (Spoilers)

  • I wanted to love this game because the art and visuals were excellent.
  • But I didn't enjoy the gameplay: the rock-paper-scissors class matchups demanded too much thinking for me, so I eventually switched to Easy mode and mostly brute-forced fights with Alain's unit.
  • The story was underwhelming and boring overall.
