Do not misunderstand me, I am in love with this game. With its classic PS1 aesthetic, clunky survival horror mechanics, and freaky, weird characters, this game has already captured my heart. But let me warn you: Alisa is HARD AS HELL. This game punishes you so severely that you might not get to enjoy all the things I just mentioned. Aiming is tough because there's no crosshair and on top of that, some monsters move fast and even dodge your attacks. Supplies are scarce, and to buy upgrades or new weapons, you need to kill monsters to earn toothwheels. So while running away is always an option, it often feels like it’s just not worth it. Save points are few and far between, and more than once I died just before reaching one, forcing me to replay the last hour all over again. The clunkiness (just like in any other PS1 era game) makes things even harder. I'll admit, even though I’ve played various survival horror games recently (Crow Country, Tormented Souls, Signalis) I’m still not good at this genre. But that didn’t stop me from enjoying Alisa, because I like this kind of difficulty. That said, if you’re not like me or you’re new to this genre, be cautious. The auto-aim option helps though. (I’m playing with no auto-aim and tank controls by the way... it really tests my patience.) The only thing I didn’t like about this game is the bugs... Other than that, let me marry this game I guess.

an amazing game for people who love classic survival horror games! it perfectly captures the look of the old resident evil titles, and the art style is phenomenal! there are some tricky parts of the game that i got stuck on, but overall i loved it!

Probably the only PSX inspired game that actually feels like a lost title from Playstations catalogue. I don't think there's one indie game out there that has accomplished anything close to the PSX feeling Alisa achieves. That alone makes it worth recommending but the game itself is fantastic.

Alisa is a very hard game to break down as the good and bad are at times in equal measure. HOWEVER the final product overall is clearly a labour of love and worth a play. Pros + Great campy voice acting + At times a great tribute to PS1 horror + A wide variety of endings + Lots of secrets and optional outfits to find and collect + Excellent aesthetic and enemy design Cons - Harder than almost every single PS1 horror game (from someone who has beaten most of them) this requires a colossal amount of patience and luck to get through, or a very high skill level. There is no middle ground. - The "auto-aim" optional item is even less effective than auto aiming in first gen PS1 games - Story is pretty non-existent - Very easy to get soft locked and have to start the entire game again due to difficulty and lack of resources. Alisa is simultaneously a joy to play and incredibly annoying to play at times. It straddles the line of being fun while appealing to a hardcore demographic. The game lists "Souls Like" difficulty, as someone who has beaten every souls game I'd argue this is considerably more difficult. That said it looks and sounds great, is a lot of fun to explore and once you get the hang of the combat and difficulty it IS manageable if still frustrating at times. A proper easy mode (and not the bad auto-aim and body mods) would be a far better option for greater enjoyability for the player base. That said simply for the amount of love oozing from the game and the high quality finish in it's final patched state I have to give it a positive 6/10

I want to try and write this review for people that may hold no nostalgia towards ps1 style graphics and didn't grow up playing ps1 survival horror type games. If you are looking for a solid ps1 style horror survival then this game is spot on which I think is easy to gather from most reviews. I think even if the old style ps1 games hold no place in your heart, I still think this game is well worth playing. It's a very interesting world to explore with subtle but interesting lore. A lot of different weapons and outfits to acquire. Interesting enemies and bosses. Fun puzzles. Rewarding progression, I found it felt great finding a new key and unlocking a new area. Now at first I think the old style jank could be a bit frustrating but once you see how simple the enemy patterns are it becomes pretty easy. Most enemies you can pretty much just keep looping them and hitting them in the back with a melee weapon or just blast them from afar. This isn't a souls-like but is similar in that once you kind of get into the flow of things and understand enemies better it becomes significantly easier. I had a great time with this game. I highly recommend it and there is a demo you can try first if you're not sure.
