Cladun: This is an RPG is an odd RPG to say the least. I don’t really know what to make of the game. The graphics are old school 8-bit in fashion as are the sounds. The gameplay is a throw back to the old top-down hack and slash games and yet there are some interesting tactical and strategic elements in the game that make the depth more than one might think at first.
There are some odd things in the game, like the ability to create new characters on a whim. There are five jobs: warrior, dragoon, guardian, wizard and merchant. Each has its particular stats, advantages and disadvantages.
The game features a set of 10 characters which you can place into the Magic Circles you learn as you level up. The Magic Circle allows you to use any of them except Crosstine (the cat) as the main character. You have full creative control over what your characters look like and can edit their colors, faces etc. Of course you have to unlock that ability as with many other things in the game and it only applies to characters that you create, not the ones already in the game. Of course, if you use your created character as the main 
through the whole game they’ll level up and be just as powerful as the rest.
The Magic Circles are really what differentiate this game from others. They allow you to essentially use other characters in your party as human shields while also gaining benefits of their powers and abilities. They take damage first in battle until each of them falls and then the main character takes damage and if they fall, you’ve lost. It’s like an atom with electrons orbiting around them, to get to the atomic core you’ve got to get past all of the electrons first. When a sub character gets knocked out, any artifacts they have that were helping power up the main character are also out of commission.
