I blame subscriptions for this cannibalization

Erm plenty of games sales have been cannibalised by subs. But I know your post is yet another game pass defence force post.

Anyway Back on PS1 days a game was considered a huge success if it sold over 100k units, especially for lower budget titles and RPGs.

You can make a great game with a lower budget.

I've played a bit of this - only a couple of hours - I wanted to love it, but I'm not feeling it at all.
The Messenger was incredible, and had a wonderful twist. It's one of my favourite games! I was hoping to love this, but it just hasn't caught me at all.
 
Well deserved, this game is pretty great.
 
Played it for a couple of hours on gamepass. Made it to the trial after meeting the Elder Mist. Loved what I've experienced so far. Thinking about buying it for the Switch but kinda want to wait for the physical release. 2024 is a ways off though.
 
I'm 17 hours in, enjoying it a lot.

Can't help but wonder how much higher the sales would be if not on a two subscription services.

Double the current sales possibly.

I'm playing it on Game Pass, but plan on picking up a physical copy next year as well.
 
Around 8hrs in, so far it has been pretty good. So happy for them! I guess its good they sold so much considering they have the game in both sub services. I hope they got a good sum of money from both Xbox and PS. The art in the game is soo good and the music too. Getting a little bored of the constant timing of X Button Press during combat, i think i may activate the relic that automates the process.

And they took MS and Sony's bag

I would love to know the return on investment for this including sales and taking Microsoft and Sony cash payments. Seems very profitable. Goes to show smaller games can do well. Also goes to show pixel art is not dead and people love it. I do wonder if they knew how weill it would be received, would they have taken the bags of cash from Sony and Microsoft, or would they havd sold 500k copies already.
 
Undeserved judging from the 17 hours I've played so far. But I guess being kickstarted, having literal thousands of backers thanked in the game itself and having Yasunori Mitsuda as guest composer is enough to achieve this kind of success. The 95% metascore it had in the first few days after release was frankly ridiculous.

Yeah, and even the current score is very inflated IMO. It's a nice little game, but 7/10 is absolute ceiling for it.
 
I gifted a copy to a friend since I have gamepass to play it on.

Really good game. Need more time with it after starfield.
