Hard to tell from the screenshot, but what makes this game great?

Today is Taro Kudo's day (writer of Origami King and one of the three main guys behind moon).

 

[FormatCompatible]

FUCK YEAH I can't wait!

While we are at it can we get the other Love-de-Lic games on the Switch in english? Pretty please?

 

[Weiss]

I have no idea what this is but I'm there.

[commish]

I got irrationally excited to see this. Or maybe it is rational?

 

[purseowner]

Please just tell me if the JP physical SKU will have English patched in, I'm so close to hitting pre-order

Was just thinking this.

I hope Tim Rogers hid the entirety of his FF 7 Remake review somewhere in the translations of this game.

 

[shoptroll]

I am so ready for this

We're not putting this screenshot anywhere else on the entire internet aside from inside this issue, and we hope you'll keep this little secret with us!

This game was getting a physical release from LRG, right?

It's something a small group of people have posted about on here as a wonderful Japanese deconstruction of RPG tropes and generally just very effecting story. I've purposefully tried not to dig too deeply once they announced it was getting a US release because usually when people get so excited about a more niche project on here I find gold. Dunno if I would've known to check out 428 if it weren't for this place!

Spoiler: Basic explanation

Basically, you are playing as a character that exists at the same time as the Hero, who has already saved the world and is just endlessly grinding now. It's a great subversion of tropes. Like in your classic Dragon Quest games, you enter a house and start breaking pots and stuff, here you need to help those NPCs.

Undertale was heavily inspired by this game.

 

[Strat]

Very excited that this is finally happening.

 

[Kraid]

My most wanted game of the year.

 

[Lelouch0612]

Excited for this

 

[jay]

I can finally stop buying Kimura's games in an attempt to finance this.

 

[gazoinks]

WOO WOO. I'm super excited for this. Seems like the exact kind of thing I'd love. I hope this does well and gets other Love-de-Lic games localized.

 

[MulderYuffie]

Hoping for a physical as well! Can't wait for this!

 

[Deleted member 10737]

oh gosh i'm so excited for this. please come soon

They previously partnered with Limited Run on another game so I think this is likely.

 

[Instro]

Nice!

 

[mclem]

Can. Not. Wait.

Yeah but it's a public newsletter and I run a news website.

 

[Deleted member 21709]

Looking forward to finally playing this.

 

[KingDrool]

This is very exciting!

Side note: I hope Onion somehow gets the opportunity to remaster Chulip. Not sure how the rights would work in that situation, but I'd love to see it on Switch.

 

[Devilgunman]

I've been waiting for this game for so long now.

 

[Valcrist]

Yeah but it's a public newsletter and I run a news website.

My most anticipated game by far, I can't wait T_T

 

[Diarrhea Day-Lewis]

I was thrown for a loop and thought Renegade Kid was resurrecting that old DS game.

 

[awake4ages]

God I hope it's soon I've been itching to play this one

 

[Rolento]

Ooh yes!

 

[mudai]

I seriously can't wait for the English release. Never did I think it would ever happen. Very curious about Tim Rogers' localization too. It's not his first localization gig (he translated manga back in the day for example).

 

[Heromanz]

What is moon?
