I am super confused by this. I read the article and then went looking to see if I could buy a rom or something… The gba cart is 60 dollars (oof) and I don’t have anything to play it on. The publisher doesn’t appear to sell roms. The article didn’t seem to mention anything but… there’s a bunch of gameplay videos of this game that have, apparently, been around for years. The gameplay looks pretty much identical to the latest trailer. There is also a rom available from the standard rom sites… that seems to have been there for awhile.

Was this game released ages ago or was it leaked years ago or what?

(I played the rom and it’s…. not great. Mostly just spamming A)

Yeah, pick any random video and you can already tell the gameplay won't be great. For the warrior, it's mostly spamming, the priestess has some AoE magic that basically is all identical but dressed up differently.

Good on the guy to wrap his project up, but other than that... meh.
