Sephirothic Stories Switch NSP Free Download Romslab If you’ve hung around the SwitchRPG campfire any over the past year, you probably already know that I’m more or less the resident KEMCO RPG fan here on the site. I wear that badge with honor because I’ve found that, for a budget-tiered traditional JRPG, KEMCO-published titles have the potential to provide excellent bang for your buck despite their inevitable flaws. Back in February I had the pleasure of covering Alvastia Chroncies – another KEMCO title – and it turned out to be my one of my favorite endeavors from the company thus far, snuggled up right up next to 2018’s Dragon Sinker.

Today, we’re covering a different game though. Sephirothic Stories is the latest in the long line of KEMCO-published RPGs to release on Switch, and once again I was excited by the news. Unfortunately, the end result here isn’t near as nice as it turned out for its predecessor. Due to the volatile, but often surprising nature in regards to how KEMCO RPGs turn out, once more I find it necessary to keep you all in know on their latest outing. Let’s dive in. I’ve always been rather fond of the RPGs. My first trek into the genre was with Final Fantasy VII back in 90s.

what shocking truth awaits them at the end of their journey…?

Before that, most of my gaming consisted of little more than Sonic the Hedgehog, Alex Kidd, Doom, and pretty much everything else that was in direct contrast with an RPG. However, FF VII opened my eyes to a whole new media of storytelling and immersion, and since then, I’ve played any RPG that’s caught my attention. This gen alone has seen some stellar additions. Sadly, I cant say that Sephirothic Stories is one of them. Sephirothic Stories feels more like a relic than anything else. The story is pretty forgettable at best. The game’s world is set in Shendoah, a place that’s protected by a world tree otherwise known as the Sephirothic tree. Tower of Babel: No Mercy Switch

This tree has began to wane, and as such, the world’s inhabitants have been overcome by its murk. Murk that has since transformed them into a wide range of beasts and monsters, including that of the main character’s sister. With that in mind, and with the fate of the planet in your hands, off you pop on your adventure. Despite how ridiculously outlandish it is, there’s very little depth to the plot. It doesn’t help matters that the cast of characters that support said plot are about as flat as a pancake. The reason I love RPGs is because they have the breathing space to immerse you in a wide range of different ways; their worlds, their characters, their lore, and so forth.

Here, on the other hand, it all feels clumsy, rushed, and underdeveloped. There’s very little to like about its story and its cast, and as such, it stumbles out of the gate from the moment you play. Things don’t fare any better in the gameplay department, but we’ll get to that shortly. Sephirothic Stories shoehorns you into its bland world through the use of a few cutscenes, and several, several text-based interactions. Make friends with this concept, folks, because you’ll get a daft explanation for pretty much each and everything that you do. Hell, need to pick up a box? Townsmen – A Kingdom Rebuilt

The game stops to tell you what to do. Need to cross a tight passageway? The game stops to tell you what to do. These constant interruptions begin to frustrate. What’s worse, they’re so simple (to the point of common sense) that there’s really no need for instruction at all. I wont hold that against the game as far as scoring is concerned, because aid is aid, but here, it just felt like the game was spoon-feeding a toddler. Nevertheless, your first few hours of play will be a slog. The usual RPG components are present and accounted for; turn-based combat, leveling up, gear acquisition, and so forth. That said, Sephirothic Stories doesn’t tread beyond the realm of basic expectations.

Weapon upgrades and many subquests are available for additional enjoyment.

This is one RPG that truly feels light-years behind its peers. You’ll explore and chart a semi-open world, or to be more specific, several tight areas that sit on a world map. There’s battles to contend with, a lot of loot to be found, and new characters to engage with along the way. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a few distinct functions present that attempt to shake things up a bit, but, by and large, they rarely hit the mark. The carry-along garden, for one example, allows you to grow various seeds that will flourish into helpful one-use items.

When you hear the name Sephiroth, anybody who has ever played an RPG or perhaps even any game at all might think of the infamous Sephiroth from Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII which is currently being remade. But the name is not exclusive to that game nor does it originate from it. So what is the etymology of the name Sephiroth? Sephiroth is a transliteration of the Hebrew word Sefirot which means emanations or to flow from. Knowing this will help you get some better handling of the basic set-up of the story.
