Trillion: God of Destruction Critic Reviews

Trillion: God of Destruction is a game with a unique concept, expertly executed with clever mechanics and solid writing. It’s easily the best I’ve seen come from Idea Factory/Compile Heart, and an experience that reaffirmed some of my own personal traits not just as a gamer, but as a human being. If you fancy yourself brave enough to face Trillion, be wary – you too might not be prepared for what’s in store.

For my part I really appreciate what Idea Factory has achieved with this game, and, while the theme is quite dark, it’s presented in that same bright and cheerful, satirical space that we’re so used to with this developer/ publisher that it’s charming and irreverent. It’s always nice to play games like that.

I hold Trillion in high regard. From the art to the music to the characters to gameplay, I enjoyed my time with it. While it’s certainly not high budget, offering some bland, yet fitting and serene songs, awkward character models and animations, it carries the spirit of oldschool JRPGs and their sense of growth.

While it can sometimes be alienating in how out there many of its ideas seem (considering the game is technically one big bossfight, it'd have to be), 'Trillion: God of Destruction' is an outstandingly original game that I can't wait to check out again.

Trillion is not a game that will be to everyones tastes, it is unique and fun to play, but many players may find that it's trying to hard to be too different and therefore complicates itself, but if you're looking for a JRPG or SRPG with a unique spin then Trillion is definitely worth a look.

Trillion: God of Destruction has a boatloads of flaws but still manages to be fun.

After making a terrible first impression, Trillion: God of Destruction manages to be a unique experience.

The simulation and visual novel elements are great, but the RPG elements are not.

In the end, Trillion: God of Destruction is a surprisingly innovative RPG from a company that is normally content to release/re-release a new Neptune game every month, and further testament to the Vita’s resigned fate as an RPG lover’s dream machine.

Interesting at first, but in the long run this turn based tactics experiment gets quite monotonous.

You need an intense dedication to the cause when you start to play Trillion: God of Destruction. If you are a die-hard fan of turn-based JRPGs you may want to try this, but be prepared: you will find an experimental game with a lot of grinding.

The end result is certainly a little talk-heavy at times, and your mileage may vary as far as the characters go, but if you're looking for something out of the ordinary, Trillion: God of Destruction definitely fits that bill.

Trillion: God of Destruction has wonderful characterization and compelling moments, but gets bogged down in a series of unintuitive design decisions and a lack of engaging main story content. Come for the concept, but don’t be surprised when it doesn’t hold for long.

Trillion: God of Destruction is an experimental RPG, so it gets a few things right but misses a few others. Still, if you connect to the characters, it's a good adventure that feels original within the genre.

While Trillion: God of Destruction does an exceptional job in setting up its premise and having you care about the plight of its characters, the gameplay and combat mechanics left me feeling disappointed. Fans of turn-based dungeon crawlers may want to give this one a try, but be prepared for a marathon of character building.

Trillion: God of Destruction is a role-playing game by game developer Compile Heart. It's up to you, Zeabolos, to strategically battle against this god with a trillion HP! With six Overlord candidates at your disposal, change the tide of battle through rigorous training, forging strong bonds, and making painful sacrifices. Sounds good, but the game is quite simple and, finally, boring.

I do like what Trillion's going for, and in the early stages I enjoyed my time with it. However, the grind over the lifespans of several Overlords grows dull, and no amount of amusing writing can stave off the boredom that settles in. When it's good, it's very good, but when it wears out its welcome, that welcome wears out hard.

Leaving behind the renowned lands of Gamindustri, Idea Factory and Compile Heart present a new IP. Trillion: God of Destruction is a confused mixture of interesting ideas, a good starting point for a series but nothing more than this.

Trillion: God of Destruction is a bold experiment by Compile Heart, but unfortunately, it’s one that doesn’t work all that well.

Trillion: God of Destruction is an SRPG that probably should have been a visual novel. Its great character design, and top notch writing are held back by constant micromanagement. Worse still by a combat system that's hard to comprehend, and isn’t even fun when you do. Come for the art, don’t stay for the gameplay.
