Soldaria and Senecia, two nations separated by a narrow sea. Most citizens in Canaburg, the capital of Soldaria, have been brought up to believe that the war that they have with Senecia has been going on for the last thirty years.
The protagonist, a normal worker named Vincent, has a friend, Sophie that believes this is all but a lie. Finding a report in the government archives confirms her suspicion about a “meteor” which had crashed in their territory recently. Knowing what this means, Vincent, Sophie and their friends head to Senecia to try to warn them of this plan which is to be carried out against them.
A Celestial Weapon is part classic adventure jrpg with a party of varie characters and part conspiracy/spy story. While the game includes monsters and supernatural events, it's set in a fictional modern world where guns and bombs exist and knights and mages belong to a forgotten past. However our team will be a ragtag team of differently skilled characters, from a doctor to an assassin. The game includes many edits and some original custom cutscenes and battlers.
Random Fact: this game was remade with Rpgmaker MZ, so you can also find and play its improved and new complete version called A Celestial Weapon: MZ Edition here: https://moonwolfv.itch.io/a-celestial-weapon-mz-edition
Final Verdict: a pretty classic adventure but with a modern setting! While I wasn't fan of the custom made bsttlers, I found the maps pretty well made, also for the selection of chipsets. It's a strange game because it uses portraits made with another rpgmaker version, and it also mixes a lot fantasy and modern aspects without really merging them.
