So what's actually bad about this game? Should I not bother? It seems comfy so far.

Confusing layout. But if you're drawing your own map like you should be you'll be fine.

Nothing really, it's great for what it is, and definitely comfy. Just a simple and charming dungeon crawler. Play Shining the Holy Ark afterwards too, it's even better.

Make sure to discover other Sega Genesis jrpgs, I recommend Soleil, a Zelda knock-off starring a boy named Corona who eradicates an entire species from this plane of existence.

It's pretty good, especially considering the budget they had to work with and the year it released.

No, it fucking isn't.
Shining in the Darkness is just a grindy mess that is mediocre all the way through.
Phantasy Star, a game that came out 3 years earlier and on a weaker system is better in every single way.

Neither game does. Phantasy Star's maps are small enough that a goldfish could navigate them without a map and SitD has a bloody map spell and item (while also having fairly reasonable layouts, so you rarely need to use them.)

You better grind for a little and get new armor, sword and herbs before venturing further into the dungeon or the Giant Crab is gonna wreck you with minimal effort.
