One of the best games I've ever played. Hits nostalgia hard for old flash web rpgs, but is a totally complete experience with couch coop. Plays like a flash Diablo 2 with the ability to tame most creatures you see to fight on your side in a team of 20 creatures + 1 companion. Super captivating experience and I binged it in a week after not being able to put it down. No post-game content, so once you're finished the campaign all there is to do is grind skills and companion levels, but at that point there is nothing stronger to fight. Still absolutely one of the best value game experiences and absolutely worth playing alone or with a friend.

Its incredible. Ticks so many itches and in such a great way. A hidden gem. Almost every aspect of this marvel of a game is well designed and is fun and rewarding. One of the best games I played in years and among the most fun and addictive ones I played ever. Hard to believe this was done by a single person. Please consider supporting this labor of love and creativity.

Its a good game for old school gamers looking for that nostalgic grind session. It is an RPG, but doesn't suffer from the mountains of dialog in your typical JRPG. It's straightforward and simple. Dialog is light. There are quests, but nearly all of them are completely optional. Best of all, the game feels open world. There are no arbitrary limitations hamstringing your character. You can mine, smelt, craft, specialize in any of several different types of magic, alchemy, cooking, and taming creatures. You can enchant your gear. There are tons of recipes to unlock which happens automatically as you level up a skill. You can do it all here, but you don't really need to do most of it. This is a game where you can truly play however you want. If you are a completionist player, however, you may not want to pick this one up. For certain skills like Jewel Crafting (enchanting) and Alchemy, you will need materials only obtainable from monster drops. It will take hundreds of hours of grinding to be able to get 100%, and its not at all worth it. You could beat the game many times in the time it would take to 100%. There's just not enough content to justify it. Still, the game is a good 40 hours of play if you disregard most of the skills. The one serious gripes I do have however is the final two dungeons. The focus for 9th Dawn is more about the mechanics than the story, so most players that want to get the most out of the experience will want to complete all the quests and rewards BEFORE beating the final boss. But proceeding past a certain point in the game will prevent you from interacting with any NPC, even Fast Travel. Since the game auto saves, there is no way to go back, and there is no warning. If you go past that point, your only option is to beat the game before you can 100% everything. Since you already beat it though, kind of takes the epicness out of it. Further, the 2nd to last dungeon is much harder than the final dungeon. The final dungeon is just an annoying maze of corridors. The end game had some very poor design choices imo. But beyond that, its a solid game by the developer. Though again, it would be easy for them to implement a "Point of No Return" warning, and at the very least that should have been done.

Here are my thoughts on 9th Dawn Remake and 9th Dawn III: I found out about the game series by accident two days ago and I´m blown away. Saw 9th Dawn Remake and really wasn´t sure wether I should get it or not. So I bought 9th Dawn III for a little more than 2 Euro an Steam-sale to find out if the series is any good. After 12 hours of straight playing 9th Dawn III (I´m usually bored by games after 2 to 3 hours) I got to say this is the best experience an most fun game in a very very long time and I haven´t even scratched the surface. So I just had to buy 9th Dawn Remake to get the release sale deal. After trying the remake for 2 hours I´m just rubbing my eyes. What an awesome game. I´m so glad I found this series. Huge recommendation on both parts. I need to decide now which one to play first (wonder when this last happend to me?!)
