I felt there was no plot, no general storyline, only odd side-quests. And while roaming around talking to everyone, might be fun for some, it gives you no reward. Some areas of improvement are graphics, the text-bars could even be on a transparent color, (Blue signifies a win95 color scheme, we are in the 21st century), and battle balancing. Also you should be able to switch characters mid-battle or use items without costing a turn. Starting out in the game and I realise the reason for forcing the player to the inn, instead of allowing them to walk there; but you have side-quests that are deceptive because you obviously cant beat them because you die in two hits.You should always ask a second opinion before you present some thing to the public, especially if you are asking for support. If it had gone to early access I feel like they could have asked the community for ideas and suggestions, we can always improve oursleves. They have a tough road ahead of themselves, most gamers get that, with going up against the big dogs that have done it better and been around longer.I will say I do like the humour and I do like the pixel art. They did a good job with the music track\/sound, although as others have said the grammar is off, although I dont mind that as long as I have a reason to play. But you need to show more heart and originality because currently it is lacking badly. As I say if they had brought it to early access you could have asked the community for support but as a fully released game, it needs to be fully done. And while it might be in one persons eyes, it isnt worth the price point.How many times do we say it. You cant just put items in a game and expect that alone to add to the games core content. You need to stand out and bring some thing NEW to the table.. Gameplay is good and its so fun. Nusakana, at 8.99 is well worth a buy.The English and graphics are somewhat messy, but honestly it's all just part of the fun. It's very enjoyable to find an item with an absolutely bizzarely worded description and the art has this kind of honest heart and charm too it.The music is also some of the best I've ever heard in any game, ever. The village theme at night is just the most relaxing and also chilling things I've ever heard, not in a "fear" kind of way, but one where the cords just send shivers down your back.The kind where it forces you to just pause, and shut your eyes to listen.Game itself is challanging fun, it completely allows you to just wander off wherever you want and allow yourself to be butchered by animals far stronger then your pathetic wimpy tourist arms and fishing rod can fight. It's an uphill climb and it's worth every second of it when you realize you can finally kill what you were running away screaming from 3 hours ago.The story and world are vast, deep and easy to sink into, though sometimes it can be confusing where to go next. Maybe that's part of the fun as well.Definately pick this up if you like RPGS.. + Beautiful artwork+ Beautiful music, it's very soothing, actually I really love the music? Especially the nighttime one.+ Lovely custom tileset+ Quiet hard, sometimes can be frustrating, but I like that. I like challenge+ I love the Indonesians vibe. Well done, well done+ Seneng deh berburu durian yang melayang-layang tengah malam.- A bit laggy sometimes, but those are no major problem, it's either the game or it's my laptop (edit : it was my laptop orz)- Where's the boys? Why can't I recruit boys- yunno- just platonic relationship? You go bro-on-bro adventure, beating magical flying durian, just-- bro being bros. Where's the boys??- Open world can be quite confusing sometimes, especially for first time playing- Too slow (transition after caught a fish *uuugh*, transition when talking with party)- npc was no help, pls im confused- why everyone just say hello to me. I need directionOverall :Gorgeous game, very well done. Despite of the negatives, I still love this game.Once again, well done. Now excuse me while I'm gonna try catch this fish to impress Ms. Arwana. So, it has been a few months since I finished Nusakana. This is probably the first game to which I can't give an unbiased review, but I will try.TLDR: Nusakana is the most character-driven life sim I have ever played. For those interested in the genre, I can't recommend it enough, but you will have to put in an investment.Nusakana has many English\/grammar errors, usually not enough to make sentences hard to understand, but enough that you sometimes have to guess the level of emotion with which something was said. It has several technical faults and a few broken collisions, and the combat, fishing and harvesting are generally uninteresting. It is also at the top of my 'list of favorite games', surpassing the others I had considered nearly-perfect by such a wide margin that I can't use a number system to score it. As a general rule, I have avoided life sim games because the gameplay is uninteresting, and the characters are seldom 'real' enough to hold my interest. I'm not sure what made me pick up Nusakana, except I had the feeling there was heart to it. My expectations coming into it were that I would find it relaxing and hopefully the characters would feel real enough that I would enjoy it. Instead I found myself busily scrambling around the island with new friends, trying frantically to keep pace with all the various story-related quests that kept showing up. All of these quests feel integrated into Nusakana's world, instead of being merely RPG-style fetch quests with no purpose behind them or story-reward for completing them. After a few months the flood of things to do slowed down and I was able to find the relaxing pace I had been expecting, but there were still very few days without some special event to make it a unique day in my mind.Character interaction is the big draw here, though. While many of the characters seemed to start as clich\u00e9s (perhaps because I\u2019ve seen all the clich\u00e9s so many times), by the end of the game they formed the best supporting cast I've ever seen - and I've played Chrono Trigger, Fire Emblem (all of them, both good and cringe-y), Kingdom Hearts and Katawa Shoujo. You won't get as much interaction from any individual as you might in, say, a branching visual novel - think 2,000 words per person as opposed to 30,000 per person - and the interactions won't be as explosive, either. Think spending a day picking peaches as opposed to discovering your modified microwave is a time machine. But the characters start feeling more real as the game goes on, and the world feels more real as your interactions with it change. This is the only game I've played where I can say I was genuinely interested in every one of the 30+ characters by the end of it.I will note that I had to give it a decent amount of time before it started to mean anything to me. My general thoughts while playing went like this:0->25 hours: Hmm, this is OK. Better than I was expecting, anyway.25->45 hours: I wonder if places like this still exist.45->60 hours: I think I'd like to live here. 60->90 hours: It's weird to say that a game can affect you as a person because of how cringy that can sound, but this game did exactly that.In closing:--Technical score: 7\/10. A good effort and no significant bugs, but lots of grammar issues and a few graphical ones as well.--Story score: 9\/10. Actually quite good, even if it gets confusing at the end. Everything gets explained, but you may need to hear it more than once. Things I had ignored because I thought it was hand-wavy game logic turned out to actually be key points.--Gameplay score: 8\/10. If you're looking for something relaxing, this works well. And if you're a completionist, be warned that I had to use about six pages of notebook paper for all the lists I created of things to do next, in what order, and how to go about it. You will enjoy it more if you play it without a guide, which isn't hard because no guide currently exists. =)--My personal score: 13\/10, and I actually mean that. I only had two perfect games before (neither of which are on Steam), so I don't use the word lightly, but 'perfect' games just can't compete with this.. - While the game uses a standard game engine (RPG Maker), it uses a unique interface, rewriting most parts.- The story is interesting and not too predictable (you can imagine some parts ahead of time, but not everything).- The characters are quite unique.- has a great replay value- Although the spelling and wording isn't perfect and the game still has some bugs they are patched extremely fast. Nusakana is an intriguing and genuinely kooky RPG title that focuses more on simulation than combat. You assume the role of a fisherman who visits a remote island on vacation, and his time spent there is entirely decided by you. Whether it's romancing the mysterious sirens of the island or devoting time to unravelling hidden secrets, Nusakana is scored with anime style characters and a seemingly endless lounge jingle. I bought it on discount and would recommend the game purely on that condition.Pros: a unique environment, some wonderfully weird characters, a curious twist on simulation ideas.Cons: combat lacks depth and purpose, some grammatical errors, not exactly challenging.. I was really excited about this game, and I'm a little upset to be giving this a bad review.First off, it reminds me a little of Pokemon and a bit of harvest moon, so that is a double win. But, it just wasn't doing it for me.The concept, visual art and music in this game is fine and dandy, but the English is broken (or just the way it is phrased, seems off or weird to a native speaker) and just breaks the immersion for me. A big part in gaming for me is the plot, storyline, and character development. So if I am unable to gauge how the character is even feeling from what is being said, then that's a problem.It's probably just me though. I'm sure fans from other parts of the world who aren't particular about grammar will enjoy this.
