Leave a Review OCTOPATH TRAVELER
Wow!
Everything I loved about the original OCTOPATH Traveler is here. The graphics are stellar, the gameplay is identical to its big brother, but with some quality of life enhancements. I’ve wanted Ocotpath in my pocket since it was released, and now I finally have a version that seems as robust as the original. Though I’m still relatively early in the game, the monetization seems unobtrusive from what I can tell. It is a gacha game, but it seems like they are generous with what they give you in the beginning. If you want to min/max all your characters, I can see running into a paywall, but there is so much game here for free that I’m tempted to buy something just to support the devs.Show lessVasillios
It’s Octopath Traveler but with built in RNG
So far first impressions have been alright, the game is fun, the exploration and design is intuitive, easy to manage and access. However, it’s very slow in multiple regards to loading certain menus and most cutscenes are unskippable, which is annoying. The Gacha portion of this game reeks of bad transfer rates, the % for 5* characters is low, every 10 rubies is $1, it costs 30 to summon once. 10 pulls are $30 equivalents, terrible rates knowing that the pity system is built into ~200. Which is $2,000. If you don’t want to get slammed by gacha, Stay F2P. You get a free 5* at the tutorial and 300 rubies. If you’re into it, reroll until you get something good and will carry you, or work your way up.Show lessSquiter X32
Wonderful
I was a fan of the original despite feeling that it lacked in endgame. This game is a great adaptation of the overall system for mobile and shorter playthroughs. It carries over enough mechanics that veterans of the old game feel comfortable while the individual and main story beats keep the experience feeling fresh. I just finished Pardis’ storyline and I can’t wait for more content to come out. The gacha rates are pretty rough so be judicious in how you spend your gems. I recommend looking up character reviews on sites like game8 to plan who you want and save up for them. The pity is not that forgiving but the game has been doable with only a couple 5-star units so far.Show lessCasual raider
It’s great but….
The game is great and for right now I’m hooked however, it seems very needy of a limit broken 4 star character or 5 star team. With some paid gems and all free gems up until flamesgrace, I have 8 5 stars characters but only 4 of them actually 5 star. Couple of them awakened which helps and all but it seems like it’s gonna take forever to max limit break them considering the amount of copies you need to pull for them. I’ve heard rumor that the limit break shards will also be used to unlock a special skill or something which is unfortunate but either way, it’s more than likely that you will need at least 1 copy of all your five stars in your party to be able to handle the end game. My 4 stars can hit hard but are incredibly squishy without their awakening and even then, it’s hard for some elite bosses at the end. Feel like 3 star characters are basically useless and the 5 star characters all get that bp+ in their last skill tree as well as triple and quadruple hit attacks in their skill set which really makes the caits doable in 3 turns if it doesn’t run second turn. With no front set of 5 stars with 3-4 hit skills, it seems like fat caits are gonna be impossible for anyone unlucky to have them. Atleast all I know is Madeline who has a 3 hit staff attack but that’s all I’ve seen so far.Show lessNerosatan
My only gripe is
The lack of a toggle stick movement function. I often find my character running the opposite of what I want because the controls are hard to maneuver. I still haven’t figured out how to toggle the run system, even though I’ve watched the tutorial a few times. Other than that, it’s a very engaging story. I play a lot of gatcha games and something they lack is having individual stories already set up for you to play. It’s always more of a “ coming soon in a new update. “ Square never disappoints. It’s a full game.Show lessmalee_whichurr
They won me over
I normally hate any Gatcha game or free RPGs on cellphones, including a few other SE titles, but as a fan of OCTOPATH I wanted to give this one a try considering it isnt a multiplayer game at all this far.
I havent felt the need to spend any cash on the game this far but probably will soon just to support the developers considering the hours I have dropped into this one.
They added some features and changed a few others but being a cell game I knew there would have to be a few changes to the game.
Exploring is fun, and with higher level monsters all over (and avoidable) you get a reason to go back to old areas.
I do dislike that you need to be leveled to use some gear but I understand why they do it. I also dislike the speed at which leveling is done at later in the game. That being said, its not the worst thing in the world.
The combat is fun, the cameos and history are nice and its a really great story. Some party members get a little annoying but I can deal with that by keeping them out of my party.
Im looking forward to playing more! Overall a solid 9.5 out of ten.Show lessBelthanis
An amazing game
Let me start by saying that while I love this game, there are a few minor details that take away from it, but arent enough to lower my rating to 4 stars. Some of these include the process of getting new characters, swapping them out, equipping good gear for them all, claiming quests, and opening menus. The only thing wrong with these is that they all take a long time or are very tedious. For example when opening the daily quest menu it can take around 3-7 seconds to load, which I feel like is absurd because Ive never seen another game like this that takes anywhere near as long to open things like that. So it can just get a little tedious claiming rewards or trying to get new characters just because of how long it takes.
With all that being said, every other aspect of this game is so amazing that these quality if life complaints mean almost nothing. The music, the look, the controls, the combat, the story, I love it all. If you like rpgs, youll love this game.Show lessevsplosion321
I never write reviews… ever
I never write reviews and this game finally made me do so. It’s not a game for big spenders or big whales up to this point. There is ZERO pvp element that I can find. If you want a nice retro flashback to an enjoyable NES game…. Let’s say Final Fantasy or Cronotrigger… this game is perfect for you. If you want to spend to build a super roster you can, however it’s not necessary on any level. I’ve been so tired of the mobile games that cater to the highest bidder and give them this huge edge. In this case just enjoy the story, enjoy the hard work of the devs. Enjoy yourself at your own pace (Like the intro of this game states)… and it’s true!Show lessJSchrock1217
Great Story and Battle System
I have to say I’m very impressed so far! I just completed the first chapter and loved the three story arks. The story is dark and geared towards older audiences.
The battle system is great and actually requires team builds and strategy. It has a shield system that requires you to break the enemy’s shield to do maximum damage. This is done by hitting their weaknesses. It can be weapon or spell based. You can also save up battle points and then use them to increase the effectiveness of spells and abilities. Very in depth like the original on Switch.
Now for the gatcha, the resource flow is slow but if active allows for a guaranteed 600ish a month. That’s two ten pulls. That said you can get more through in game rewards for just playing like killing enemies, side stories, etc. This game is completely PVE no PVP so there is no pressure to pull. You can build great teams with just 4 stars characters. The game has a lot of Another Eden systems in place so if you liked that you will love this game. I highly recommend!Show lessHamptonbt
Not Pay2Win
I am honestly really impressed with this game. The (unfortunately) obligatory gacha system has been surprisingly generous thus far, and you can definitely get through the full on solo story with whatever you get. I would hop on this one if I were you, it’s got that awesome boost/break system with a few appreciated remixes (for instance, you can now level up 8 characters at once instead of just 4), the same beautiful HD2D graphics, and a story that honestly stirred up some genuine rage at one of the story path’s villains within the first chapter.Show lessImaDude7246
