"I felt uncertain about how to feel in many situations. Just when I thought that I had picked up a game that was going to make me emotionally invested, it ended up confusing me most of the time. Another aspect that influenced my view of Lair Land Story was the sound. The voice acting had volume and tone issues. That alone would have been forgiven, if not for the combination of an overwhelming amount of stories, interruptions within Chilia’s schedule and various text lines. During each turn, it isn’t often clear what to do or where to go to continue the stories you want to follow. It is about guessing which places to visit to hopefully find the character you are hoping to find. Maybe some players of this audience will enjoy it as it does feel somewhat like a classic in its genre, but my experience with it was more confusing and upsetting rather than enjoyable."

About
Farland Story: Kamigami no Isan is a turn-based strategy game where you lead a party through grid-based battles and a Western-inspired sci-fi narrative. Protagonist Grey starts as a thief caught in a sticky situation, then teams up with Elicia and her sister to figure out a dangerous mystery. Each character has distinct abilities like sneaking or healing, and you issue commands in real time during encounters. Terrain affects movement and attacks, with short animations for combat actions. Experience points accumulate from every move or strike, letting you level up continuously during fights. This entry swaps the series’ usual fantasy setting for a gritty, retro frontier world with mechanical creatures and gun-slinging foes. While the mechanics feel familiar to longtime Farland fans, the visual style and hybrid genre mix make it stand out. Released in 1995 for Japan’s PC-98 platform, it’s a niche title that leans into its quirky identity without compromise. The blend of tactical depth and unconventional storytelling keeps it memorable for strategy enthusiasts willing to dig into older RPG traditions.
