Les combats aléatoires ont clairement vieilli, ça peut casser le rythme par moments. Mais l'histoire tenait bien la route pour l'époque, ça je ne peux pas le nier.

Ce genre d'argument revient à chaque duel contre Undertale, alors que les deux jouent sur des ressorts complètement différents niveau narration.

El ritmo se siente lento ahora, es cierto, pero para su época marcó un antes y un después en la narrativa del género

72% de victoires et 276e au classement, alguien puede explicarme la lógica de este sistema. Supongo que perder contra Undertale una y otra vez es totalmente normal para un juego con ese porcentaje.
