Just completed my first run through Storge! Er, using the version just before this latest update.
It was a really fun time! The story is sweet and heartfelt, and the characters all have a ton of charm to them! Going in, I actually didn’t expect anyone but Gretchen and Becker to have boss quotes, so I was surprised to find that Stamos had one with Jortur. Now I’m curious what other boss quotes there are; the cast are super fun and I’m down to learn more about them.
My full team after the mandatory Becker and Gretchen was Dawkins, Humboldt—couldn’t not recruit the two guard buddies!—Malachi, Cheyenne, Roscoe, Laverne, Sievert, Stamos, and Eni. I thought I’d put together something fairly balanced, but the game is really well-put together to make you feel what you passed up and wonder if other characters and gear would’ve been better suited to tackling sections that gave you trouble; a great quality in a game that aims to be highly replayable!
It’s also impressive and really cool how every party member has such a distinct identity to them, both in gameplay and as characters. There are absolutely no repeat classes, for one thing, unless one of the unlockable party members is a repeat, but even beyond that, the characters are all very unique! There’s a good mixture of vanilla FE-type characters, characters who mix attributes in ways official FE has yet to, and quirky gimmick characters to choose from, and it’s cool to think that I’ve still got multiple entire parties’ worth of party members to try out in future playthroughs.
Gonna add my own recommendation of the game to the pile, ‘cause this is definitely a hack deserving of attention!
Also, as an aside, the Staff Armor walking map sprites are a little borked. I think some walk frames are a pixel too low on the sheet; you can see a one-pixel-tall strip appear above Sievert on certain walking frames, which I’d assume shouldn’t happen. It should be easy to fix, but I just felt I should let you know!
