ETERNIGHTS: First Impressions and Exciting Gameplay Revealed!

Eternights is a mishmash of a dating sim and a hack’n’slash put into one. As the debut game of the Korean-based studio, Studio Sai, Eternights takes great inspiration from the social elements of Persona, according to the word of its project director, Jae Hyun Joo. The question is, does Eternights pull that off? Eternights is an ambitious game that sets out to do so many things at once. It is clearly emulating Persona with its social elements, which it does not perfectly but admirably. Same can’t be said for the combat in the game, as it definitely needs more polish.
