There being both an ordinary world and isekai fantasy one existing somehow at the same time, and you needing to play to find out what\u2019s going on? Action-RPG battles paired with relationship building? It sounded like so much potential was there. Unfortunately, Hakama wastes any possible goodwill by somehow making every element of the game boring and tedious.<\/p>    <p><em>Elrentaros Wanderings <\/em>begins with your protagonist happening upon the out Elrentaros. You\u2019re a wanderer who doesn\u2019t know much about who you are or what you were up to. You\u2019re welcomed into the community, and end up getting a chance to restore mitamas to magical mirror by heading into dungeons that reveal themselves around the town. However, in so doing, you also begin waking up in a more ordinary high school setting after every major boss encounter resulting in a gem acquisition. When you do, you find all the people you met in Elrentaros also exist in this other world, albeit in different roles and without any memory of you.<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/review-elrentaros-wanderings-wastes-a-good-idea-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/review-elrentaros-wanderings-wastes-a-good-idea-2.jpg?resize=1200%2C675\" alt=\"Review: Elrentaros Wanderings Is a Waste of a Good Idea\" class=\"wp-image-1046937\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot by Siliconera<\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p>So the first disappointment tied to <em>Elrentaros Wanderings <\/em>is the fact that the localization isn\u2019t great! Sentences read very awkwardly here. Sometimes, it seems like the translators couldn\u2019t decide what to go with as an official name or phrase. For example, early on it feels like the townsfolk can\u2019t decide if the first dungeon is \u201cCave Pick\u201d or \u201cCave Peak.\u201d I do wonder if part of that is due to the nature of the original script though. While there are 10 people who could be your \u201cpartners,\u201d there\u2019s no real depth to them. Some personality traits will come through, of course, but this isn\u2019t like a <em>Rune Factory <\/em>game where your potential love interests feel as though they are well-realized individuals.<\/p>    <p>The second is that <em>Elrentaros Wanderings <\/em>doesn\u2019t handle the idea of dual worlds very well! The more fleshed out side is of course Elrentaros, since that\u2019s where you can walk around a town, shop, talk to NPCs, and explore dungeons. The school life portion does eventually get more screen-time, but prior to that it is limited to extremely short, visual novel segments that don\u2019t do much to make that element of the game feel well-realized or inviting. Spend enough time dungeon-crawling for equipment or NPC quest items, and you might even forget there is that element.<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/review-elrentaros-wanderings-wastes-a-good-idea-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/review-elrentaros-wanderings-wastes-a-good-idea-4.jpg?resize=1200%2C675\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1046938\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot by Siliconera<\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p>Said dungeon-crawling is disappointment number three, but you won\u2019t realize that initially. See, <em>Elrentaros Wanderings <\/em>is a loot-based action-RPG at its heart. Your avatar\u2019s level is tied to the weapon and armor they found and equipped when heading into one of the locations you\u2019ll find on the map. Each dungeon will have different floors, with new minimum-level-advisories and challenges. To get the items from NPCs that you need to fulfill their requests to bolster relationships, advance the story, and unlock new dungeons, you need to complete run and complete those tasks.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>As an example, an initial one might say you need to find the hidden areas (done by clearing out all enemies in a space), not take damage from a certain type of enemy or hazard, not fall in battle, not be hit by a certain type of boss attack, or defeat a boss. Each tier of a dungeon will have five of these challenges, which will reward you with the sidequest item, a weapon, or a currency you can put toward \u201cbuying\u201d a partner gift so you can earn an alliance battle passive by equipping them as a designated partner. This means that you typically need to run through each \u201clevel\u201d of a dungeon at least twice, since all objectives won\u2019t be revealed until you\u2019ve cleared it once.<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/review-elrentaros-wanderings-wastes-a-good-idea-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/review-elrentaros-wanderings-wastes-a-good-idea-3.jpg?resize=1200%2C675\" alt=\"Review: Elrentaros Wanderings Is a Waste of a Good Idea\" class=\"wp-image-1046940\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot by Siliconera<\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p>The problem here is that these dungeons are incredibly tedious and, after a certain point, feel like they don\u2019t pay out with the gear at appropriate levels to handle the \u201casks\u201d by the time you unlock the third and fourth ones. To avoid spoilers, I\u2019ll use Cave Pick as an example. The dungeon layout at all tiers will remain the same. The enemies are all mostly identical, and you\u2019ll also see those same foes repeated in every other dungeon. (The only difference is, their colors will change and they\u2019ll be slightly stronger.) Attack patterns aren\u2019t altered. After you get to about build level 25-28, you may even find that you\u2019ll be able to handle dungeon challenges that would normally require a minimum of up to 40 if you equipped the right special skills from Legendary-tier drops. Viability of equipment comes down to if it has a special skill attached, and you\u2019ll have more money than you ever need since that\u2019s only used to unlock skills for your weapon and armor. Even the bosses eventually start to repeat, once you get past the recommended-level-30 tier.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>This all leads into the fourth most disappointing part of <em>Elrentaros Wanderings, <\/em>which is that I didn\u2019t find the gameplay loop in any way fun or satisfying. This isn\u2019t like <em>Diablo. <\/em>The gear you get won\u2019t eventually hit a point where you\u2019ll keep it around for at least a half hour or so. By the point I hit the fourth dungeon, I <strong>only <\/strong>cleared out floors of enemies when the game would bar my progress through an area. I could be in and out of an area in about 15 minutes. Maybe less if it was one of the more predictable bosses at the end. Odds are, I\u2019d at least switch out the armor at that point. Though by the time I got my Legendary Ugallu axe, I did hold on to that for about two hours because it was still better at level 27 than anything else I owned or found. I never replayed any of these repetitive dungeons because I wanted to. It was only because I had to.<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/review-elrentaros-wanderings-wastes-a-good-idea-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/review-elrentaros-wanderings-wastes-a-good-idea-5.jpg?resize=1200%2C675\" alt=\"Review: Elrentaros Wanderings Is a Waste of a Good Idea\" class=\"wp-image-1046939\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot by Siliconera<\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p>Which is also how I ended up feeling as the story and relationships seemed to reach the endgame as well. Nothing about <em>Elrentaros Wanderings <\/em>felt satisfying to me. I didn\u2019t want to really \u201cromance\u201d anyone, by which I mean toss a type of currency at them to get their Alliance Buff perks, even though some of the character art looked good. The nature of the story meant that some of the \u201creveals\u201d were buried so deep and had so little substance surrounding them that I didn\u2019t really care when a Big Bad suddenly appeared or I started to get answers.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>I didn\u2019t like <em>Elrentaros Wanderings<\/em>, and the things wrong with it are such that patches to fix the localization or adjust other elements wouldn\u2019t salvage it. It\u2019s a tedious game that doesn\u2019t offer the sort of substance to make it feel in any way satisfying. There are better isekai adventures. There are better loot-based dungeon-crawlers. There are better titles where you can connect with people in the nearby village and perhaps even fall in love with them. &nbsp;<\/p>    <p>Elrentaros Wanderings <em>is available on the Nintendo Switch <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/us\/store\/products\/elrentaros-wanderings-switch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>on August 16, 2024<\/em><\/a><em>, and it will appear on the PC via <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2904100\/Elrentaros_Wanderings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Steam<\/em><\/a><em> on August 22, 2024.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn\u2019t like Elrentaros Wanderings, and the things wrong with it are such that patches to fix the localization or adjust other elements wouldn\u2019t salvage it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":1046936,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"[]","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[100120,13585,124],"tags":[11854,188274,27,15811,25,1274,188273,177128],"internal-label":[187475,187478,187508],"invoiceable_action":[187115],"article_type":[187075],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v22.2) -
