Fortune Summoners - recheck

Fortune Summoners: Secret of the Elemental Stone(PC)
-an RPG game with interesting battle system. it was localized by the same team as Recettear.

Story: 7/10
very standard RPG story.
setting: rural town in a world where magic is used in daily life because of objects called Elemental Stones.
The protagonist is Arche, an little girl who moves into a little town with her family after her father, an ex-knight, injured on duty and retires to open n item shop.
she and a bunch of her friends from school go to adventures together and, in the end, somehow end up saving the town.
normal i would have rated this story lower but it gets bonus points for the characters and the dialogues.
the characters follow closely their archetypes yet very detailed and lovable nevertheless.
Arche, who got trained by her father, is the browns over brains person.
for example, the end boss says **it** (avoiding spoilers) prepared an special party for the group and Arche answers "Oh cool, so where it is?"
the other members of the group are very detailed as well and after playing you'll feel as if you really know them.
p.s. you guessed it, Arche hates math.

Gameplay: 8.5/10 (possibly higher)
an actions RPG, instead of selecting commands from an menu you actively control your characters. kinda reminds me the control of the 2D "Tales of ___" games wile in battles - without having to enter battles.

you gain XP/money, upgrade your equipment, level up, learn skills and spells. you know.. fun stuff.

Graphic: 2/2.5
cartoon-ish 2D side scroller. looks nice to the eye even without being fancy.

Replayability: 3/10
lacking.
you get a few extra (hard to beat) rooms in the final dungeon for clearing the game.
also if you'll start a new game you can rad some books to get some skills early.
but no real extra content. the game itself isn't too long as well. took me a week or so.
you also unlock some kinda of battle mode where you can fight against your party members that controlled by the AI.. but that will entertain for for 10 minutes only.


summary:
if you in the mood for that specific feeling you get from classic RPGs or if you are fan of action RPG in general, go for it.
otherwise.. it really depends on the other games in your list and your free time.
do check the demo or something.
