It's definitely worth 4 bucks. A better question might be: is it worth the 20 hour time sink that could be spent on better games?

I'd give this game a playthrough simply because it's so different from the other RPGs out there. It's a lot more realistic and almost plays like a cross between a survival horror and an RPG. It's a pretty cool game. It also has a battle system very similar to Vagrant Story, but without all the complex mechanics that turn everyone off.

You won't find the best video game plot out there, or the best gameplay. You will find some pretty neat locations, enemies, and bosses though.
