You worked hard today too.

See you tomorrow~

Yasha: The Three Main Characters of the Hundred Swords Story, Sara / Shigure / Taketora Yasha: The Story of a Hundred Swords
It is a story-driven action game based on the roguelike genre . In fact, it would be more accurate to say that the game is closer to a 'story-based action game' than a roguelike.
Frankly, if we evaluate it based on the roguelike genre, the current game's depth is so shallow that it can be said to be failing . If you were to think of this not as a roguelike, but as an action game with a story to enjoy, then you could rate it as a game with a level of gameplay that is somewhat acceptable .
But it has too good a story and beautiful visuals to just pass over just because of its poor gameplay .
So, maybe you can discount it to a price you can accept, If you sprinkle it in flakes like last time, “Don’t miss it, buy it!”
I ate well!
If you are looking for a good action roguelike game (Hades-like game), I highly recommend “Realm of Ink” as it has been meticulously keeping up with content updates as well as localization/patch note updates.
A masterpiece action game drawn in ink and wash - Realm of Ink Review: https://page.onstove.com/indie/global/view/10491035
▷ Please note before reviewing: This game is not updated or maintained.
The game had pricing issues when it first launched. It provided poor content in a small volume, and its excessive pricing (main story: 32,000 won / full collection: 64,000 won) resulted in mixed reviews on Steam and poor public opinion. However, the publisher (GSE) that had set this price suddenly declared a unilateral withdrawal from the contract, and the price setting and other rights returned to the developer.
After that, the price returned to normal to some extent (main part: 15,500 won). Although the price is still a bit disappointing when considering cost-effectiveness, there were no major changes (updates) that would warrant a re-evaluation of the game's gameplay, and recent reviews have given it a very positive (88%) rating .
The problem is that due to circumstances related to this publisher, it appears that no updates are being made to the stove . I joined the developer's Dicobang and requested an update, but it's been over a month and there has been no update. As with the Switch version, this is a publisher-related issue, and there's a good chance it won't receive any further support in the future.
The Switch version has not received any updates to date, not even the adjusted prices applied to the stove have changed.
Improvements made to Steam, new characters (DLC) coming next year, and even the true ending may not be available on Stove.
Is there any reason to buy it then? In this part , surprisingly, I would like to answer “yes.”
▷ Such delicious characters, story, and visual perfection
The biggest feature of Yasha is its “heartfelt story.” A total of three characters appear, and each story is structured in an “omnibus” style, sharing only some of the characters and not being connected at all . Shigure's story, which is also the title of the game, is a touching epic that leaves you with a lingering feeling, and Sara's story, which is like drinking a bowl of medicine, makes you laugh throughout the game . And Taketora's story leaves a deep impression with a meaningful twist .
Not a single story is wasted, and each one has its own unique personality!
Additionally, as you progress through each character's story, important parts are filled with attractive cutscenes and dynamic animations , providing an exceptional level of immersion that goes beyond simply reading. The visuals are quite good, not only in the opening animation but also in the cutscene animations, making the time spent playing the game not a waste.
It's a bit out of the blue, but thanks to the character being so absent-minded, Sarah's performance(?) cutscene is actually quite enjoyable.
What's a bit disappointing here is that perhaps because too much emphasis was put on Shigure's route , the production and images of other routes feel comparatively weaker . However, I highly recommend you play at least Shigure's route, as it will offset all the regrets .
Above all, each character's story is neatly concluded in itself . This means that even if there are no future updates, you will never feel like something is missing and you will have no problem enjoying the game until the end .
The individuality given to each character to bring the story to life (Shigure the glutton, Sara the herdsman) also adds humor to the serious story. On the one hand, Taketora's story leaves a much deeper impression in terms of its delivery and twists thanks to its individuality.
Plus, the neat and pretty character visuals that bring all of this to life are It satisfied the need that I had put on my wish list just by looking at the screenshot!
Shigure the glutton was drawn so cutely in the first episode ㅋㅋㅋ
▷ A fun first time, and a boring repetition that makes you realize
The first playthrough is really enjoyable .
The boss's patterns, unique gimmicks, and various items and skills that you can use for the first time while getting used to them, are all carefully crafted. As an action game, it showed a fairly good level of completion .
Here, in order to complete the story for each character, you must clear it 3 times. Since there are 3 characters, you need to clear it a total of 9 times . Naturally, there are effects such as increased difficulty (increased damage, added minions, increased health) for each round, so in reality, you end up playing the game many more times than 9 times .
If this game was a 'well-made roguelike', replayability would have been no problem at all as each round would provide a new experience. But this is where Yasha fails as a roguelike, because the replayability is literally 'exactly the same' .
Boss patterns that are quite novel and fun to overcome when you first experience them. But that's only once or twice...
I pushed my way up to the 5th floor of hell, wondering if something would come out... but as expected, there was nothing new ㅠㅠ
There is a certain regularity, but the experience of creating your own new build with random maps and monsters that appear within it is diverse. Every board “Repeated play always feels new” is the new story of roguelike …
The Yaksha-Hundred Swords story is extremely lacking in this variety .
The diversity and randomness that are the core of roguelikes, such as builds, fields, monsters, and bosses, are almost non-existent. (Even the locations where monsters appear…) Because of this , every playthrough feels like a repetition of the same experience as before .
In particular, if only the builds had been diverse, it would have been possible to conquer the same map with different flavors, but the moment you set your weapon before departure, the build was no different from a fixed one. The random rewards that appear after clearing each stage are extremely limited and do not have any great synergy that can actually change the weapon's mechanism. Rather than feeling like you're "completing your build" by picking a favorable reward from among the random rewards, it's closer to feeling like you're "piecing together the puzzle of a completed build" based on the weapon you initially choose.
Because there is no fun in building this build, once you get used to the game, it becomes boring really quickly. That time is roughly around 2 hours. Even at the longest, if it takes around 4 hours to clear one character, anyone will reach a state where they “can no longer feel anything new.”
Because the reinforcement cost is quite high, builds and play patterns become more and more fixed.
The sections where you watch the story are less boring , but even this is held back by the omnibus structure . Because you have to start a 'new game' to see other characters' stories.
Since save files are separate, common attribute enhancements (so-called permanent enhancements) are not linked. It's a far cry from other roguelike games, which try to reduce game fatigue with common reinforcement elements.
Rather than the excitement of raising a new character, it created a tiring approach of “Do I have to do this again?” It's such a shame ㅠㅠ
It's also a surprisingly easy roguelike. There are no changes to the monsters, patterns, or builds, so once you get used to it, it becomes too easy and boring.
▷ If the price is reasonable, it would be worth giving it a try!
If you approach it as a roguelike genre, it's definitely disappointing , but if you think of it as an action game where you just watch the story, you can give it a generous review . Despite these drawbacks of repetitive play, the story is worth enduring the hassle and is a shame to just pass up.
In particular, I recommend playing just the Shigure route (about 4 hours), as the production, characters, and visuals are all really good. While you're at it, try playing the Sarah route (around 3 hours), which is full of action and gags. After that, you'll find yourself naturally playing through the last remaining Taketora route. You'll definitely get angry because it's annoying and repetitive, but the immersive story and eye-catching images won't let you put it down.
You may ask, “Why do I need to buy a stove when I don’t even update or maintain it?” The current story already has a neat completion . No matter how much improvement is made, there will not be a cataclysmic change that will change the game's roots, so the regret about the update is not that great. Above all, if you take advantage of the stove's discount and buy it at a very cheap price, it is worth buying even if you ignore the above shortcomings.
Who knows, if enough people buy and play it, they might suddenly do some updates or maintenance! If you update and maintain it, then you will have no regrets buying it at regular price.
Even the character name shouts YES! YES! YES! to '(Sara) (the game)' ㅋㅋㅋ
Would you like to try it? ㅋㅋㅋ Even in the screenshot, you can feel the crazy flavor of Sarah's route, right? ㅋㅋㅋ
In Taiwan, where the production company is located, they even collaborated with Yukichi Ramen, lol.
I hope the stove version gets updated too!

By the way, since the visuals are this satisfying, the artbook is worth the DLC. The OST includes character songs for each character, but I don't really feel like receiving them separately and listening to them, but the artbook alone is very satisfying.

The only thing that's disappointing about the art book is that it's written in Japanese/English/Chinese, but there's no Korean...

Of course, it doesn't matter if you just look at the picture!

lol

1st year good job
