Enter the city of Leas, where humans dwell in safety behind city walls while strange and powerful Fey roam the wilds. Play as one of a rare few skilled enough to explore the outside world, an agent of Den Zarel.
After making a dangerous discovery you are sent on a mission that unfolds into an adventure that will unearth more than expected, and more than you alone can handle.
Fortunately, you’ll have help along the way: a lifelong friend hiding a dangerous secret, a mysterious and taciturn rogue, and an eccentric and charming mage unite under your banner to help save your city, and possibly, the world.
Full Disclosure: I was a beta tester for this game. This review is based on the version of the game I played during the beta testing process.
Leas: City of the Sun is a fantasy story of sizable length. You play as a highly skilled agent, proficient in a selected set of skills and sent on a mission in a mystical world outside, filled with strange creatures.
You have three romance options in the game, each with their own quirky and interesting personalities. I eventually picked Keo, but making a choice was certainly hard, and reading about the romances was certainly enjoyable. RO genders are determined based on your own gender and sexuality. Speaking of which, there are plenty of customization options which you would expect in a choicescript game. Along with your name, gender and skills, you can also customize your physical appearance, hair and tattoo selections.
The skill system is probably a bit of a weakness. Without giving too much away, the skill system isn't too difficult to handle, and beating checks should be pretty straightforward almost all the time. Personally, I think it could be a little harder, and this is coming from someone with a severe aversion to difficulty.
The writing and worldbuilding is solid and does a good job of conveying the fantasy world before you. The pacing is slightly on the slow side, but still reasonable for the most part. If you like fantasy and prefer a stronger focus on romance or story elements, you probably won't be disappointed here.
