Amber Throne is a traditional JRPG-styled game that focuses on turn-based battling and some light exploration. The game features a large cast of unique monsters that change stances depending on actions taken during combat, and a party with mostly mixed hybrid roles to deal with them. Learning monster behavior and how your skills affect them is essential to reaching victory.
- Fully painted world with diverse settings and unique characters.
- Many monsters with multiple stances and behaviors to master.
- Five party members each with their own skills and advantages.
- Crafting for the game's best equipment and items.
- 12-15 hour-long story with optional content and exploration.
The game is a bit more atmospheric and ambient than most JRPG-styled games, with emphasis on theme and mood, hopefully making it feel a bit different to experience!

Basically a JRPG, “The Amber Throne” is most distinguishable by its artistic graphics and beautiful music that you will rarely see and hear in games of this type. You start the game as a warrior-princess just woken up from hibernation into a world in turmoil, and you need to muster your skills, gather resources and assemble your companions to ascend to the Amber Throne and deny your rivals to gain access to its power. The plot is quite intriguing, although the story isn’t exactly descriptive and you’ll need to piece it together from various indices, dialogues and journal entries. Gameplay-wise, it’s what you’d expect from a JRPG: party of heroes exploring the world, finding treasures and fighting enemies. Combat system is also typical JRPG, with your characters having their own set of abilities, and about medium difficulty. The game can last couple dozen of hours, sometimes you’ll have to figure out how to continue as the path is not always obvious. The game is sold at a reasonable price that entirely corresponds to its exquisite style and engaging story, so be sure to try it if you like JRPG in general and are looking for something unusual.
This one is definitely a 'Maybe', but I would not recommend for most people. A quick summary: The story is pretty good, the characters are ok, the mechanics are trash. If you really want to play a JRPG and don't mind a lot of jank then this is an decent option.
Some major pain points:
-New characters start at awkward levels and with just 2 skills. You get basically half a skill point every level, so the characters you get later on are basically useless unless you want to grind for no real reason.
-A lot of skills are completely useless, and it's hard to determine which are bad until you've already invested points in them. This is made awful as you cannot respec so you are stuck with any bad choices, some which are not immediately apparent to savescum through.
-SP(magic) based skills are extremely under powered. There is no way to effectively get your SP stat high enough to be useful. This means you should only spec into skills with ATK based scaling and use ATK boosting gear
-AGI is OP. You get way more turns when you have more AGI. AGI+ATK based characters are inherently stronger. Other characters are only good for buffs and status effects.
-The only method to effectively heal is by a character that has the passive to double item effectiveness, and use items during combat. Some skills heal % based HP on hit which is 'ok' for sustain.
-Items are horribly balanced, many being useless and some being extremely OP.
-There are a good amount of bugs. Was able to get past the ones I ran into, one by googling one by reloading.
-Some areas of the game it's unclear or misdirects where you need to go next. Especially annoying since it's hard to find guides.
There's a lot of other jank in the game as well, but overall I moderately enjoyed it, since the setting is cool, the story was interesting and there was some mildly challenging combat. It would be a very good game if there was some re-balancing and QOL changes, like re-speccing and having new characters start with the correct amount of skill points.
I'd say if you're on the fence about buying it, don't bother.
Great RPG! Beautiful artwork, interesting world and lore. Decent challenge, hard enough to actually have to use items.
Finally played it after it sat ion my backlog for the last 7 years and all I can say is "Hell yeah!". Great game for those who love older turn based RPGs but don't want to sink 60 hours into a Final Fantasy. There were a few loose threads story-wise by the end, but may that was just me missing some Easter eggs.
