About Raise A Sogga:
Arcane Raise is, without a doubt, one of the absolute worst JRPGs on Steam. Much more effort went into devising obscure forms of monetization for this game (DLC characters! A Compile Heart-style cheat item pack! Tradeable Steam marketplace items that look to have been made from stock art which do absolutely nothing!) than the game, which has no original assets, almost no story, a bare minimum of mechanics (3 characters in fixed classes, all items available from the shop at the beginning of the game), and is less than an hour long when using the “Booster Pack.” Basically, since I can sum up the entire game easily: after a tutorial featuring mechanics that don’t actually exist in the game (e.g. potential punishment for retreating from fights, vehicles), you are dumped in town, with a glitchy-appearance NPC you can talk to in order to fight the final boss at any point, shops selling all of the items in the game, and four portals to one-map dungeons full of obnoxiously-high-rate random encounters and treasure chests full of potions and gold. Go grab all the chests, then buy +attack items at 200 a pop / 99 for 19800, enjoy the sound of consuming items 99 times in a row. Then hit the final boss for 11000 damage in one hit. Now you are not a Shade, but a Shade Alpha, a term that might be explained in the lorebook, but which there’s no reason to care about what it means. Also you can uninstall the game now. Oh and you get 37 achievements, probably also all stock art, for starting the game. Just make sure you start the game normally if you want that, instead of loading one of the “DLC character” savegames.
