Tokyo RPG Factory’s newest title, I Am Setsuna, is out now for PS4, PSVita, and Steam. It arrives to overall middling reviews that nevertheless still capture a fondness for the game's style and story—which isn’t bad given its $40 price tag.

Polygon, awarding the game an 85/100, wrote:

It's not a new classic by any stretch, but I Am Setsuna demonstrates a great understanding and mastery of what made Square Enix's past successes work so well. It might have benefited from stripping down the mechanics even more, or spending more resources creating a wider range of locations and enemies. But as it is, I Am Setsuna is a soft, sad experience that nonetheless filled me with joy. That should tell you everything.

GameInformer, with its less forgiving 75/100, opined:

I Am Setsuna has lots of nods to Chrono Trigger, from its general combat framework to specific references to skills like X-Strike and Luminaire. However, it doesn’t capture why most players connected to that seminal title. Even though the combat is entertaining, I Am Setsuna’s characters are dull, the environments are repetitive, and the story is predictable.

Except for its art style, I Am Setsuna never managed to appeal to me. Have any of you played it? Be sure to share your thoughts.
