Fuck I absolutely love hand-crafted aesthetics in games. Wish this was on Switch because I don't touch mobile gaming and don't own any Apple stuff.
if current trends hold up it'll be exclusive to apple arcade for a year and then get a switch release
it's pretty notable how many apple arcade games follow this exact trajectory, especially from japanese developers
Apple Arcade does not preclude it from releasing on other platforms in the future and releasing there would have no doubt contributed greatly to the security of the development.
It looks great so I hope it does come to other platforms! I don't own anything Apple.
This fighting monsters later thing sounded like a game feature, but the more i think about it, its prob a f2p feature somehow
so basically it's the ps1 era pre-rendered backgrounds aesthetic pushed to eleven?
looks really nice!
looks really nice!
I have to wonder if Apple paid a hefty amount (or helped with development or something) to get this as an Arcade exclusive.
It looks cool as hell and I'd absolutely play it day one on Switch or something, but making it a phone/ipad game just kneecaps any interest I, or many others I'm sure, had.

I don't own any Apple devices but this looks great, looking forward to it whenever it comes to other platforms.
I love these kind of silly it's all about me posts. Nope they don't want your money. They chose to put it specially on Apple Arcade because they don't want your money instead of it being where they could get the best dev deal for the initial release.
One of the reasons I subbed to Apple Arcade at launch, happy it's almost here.
The Dimengeon system sounds awesome, especially if you only have a few minutes to sneak in some dungeon crawling. I've kind of grown tired of formulaic JRPGs so I'm really keen to see how they challenge genre conventions, especially to better fit the mobile format in terms of expected playtime per session. Shorter, more systemically lightweight RPGs have always been winners for me so I'm hoping that's the case here. The 3DS's Crimson Shroud was an example of something that felt experimental but played to the strengths of handheld gaming back when it was released, as one example.

How is people bitching about Apple Arcade not the same shit as console warring? See it so much in threads about mobile games. It's such an antiquated opinion.
Cool, you don't care. Don't post about it. Oh, you want it on another platform? Who cares.
Game looks sick. Can't wait to see some footage.

Same, that literally wiped the smile off my face.
What a shame. The game looks nice.
You are correct, as was my post. Thanks for providing further detail. They clearly got a sweet deal from Apple and I don't fault them for taking the money.
I really like that they seemingly mandate AppleTV versions and controller support with Apple Arcade.
I genuinely wonder how a "Switch only? No thanks" discourse for example would fly over.

It's really embarrassing thing that it isn't enforced in mobile threads. It wouldn't be allowed for any other platform thread.
It's better than that because they've scanned the dioramas from all angles so they can move around them in 3D.
Apple Arcade can be pretty dope. Every Apple Arcade game has controller support, so just connect any controller to your iPad and you have a pretty solid gaming experience.

100% this. Wake me up when this is on something other than a phone.
