If I were to compare Athenian Rhapsody to its inspiration Undertale, I would say Undertale is a lot more substance over style, while Athenian Rhapsody is a lot, and I mean A LOT, more style over substance. The game is flashy, loud, and quite pretty to look at that's for sure. However, there is much to be desired with its writing that feels like it doesn't feel like a final draft, setups that end in small or no payoff, and characters that are very one note until the game insists they aren't. There just isn't much depth to this game that claims to be all about you and your personal journey playing it, and that sucks. Yet, despite the lack of substance, I didn't find myself having a bad time with this game at all. In fact, I loved the hell outta it! The presentation is nice, the pixel art is done immaculately, and there are a few banger songs I have added to my playlist! And as for the negatives, they aren't exactly deal breakers either. The characters, while one note, are charming enough, and the writing is so silly that I found myself charmed and smiling even if it isn't the next shakespear. This game isn't bad at all, and I recommend everyone give it a try! It clearly has a lot of soul and passion behind it and the people who say its just "Lol random bullsh!t" or "trying too hard" need to stop taking this brazenly silly game so seriously. The game is goofy and it wears that goofiness on its sleeve! So if you want a fun title oozing with style, and aren't so up your own ass that you can just enjoy the ride, Athenian Rhapsody is a must get in my opinion!

Firstly, this game is very bright, very colorful the music is very dynamic and memorable, and the characters all have personality traits that make them either endearing or funny. Secondly, if you don't like rhythm games and memorizing attack patterns, this is not the game for you. Thirdly, even though I haven't finished the game I've enjoyed a played so far, even though the combat is pretty unforgiving.

Deltarune if it wasn't freaking around While you could take a glance at it and call it some "le quirky undertale clone about le depression" it would be a huge disservice. Athenian Rhapsody has it's own story to tell, one of self reflection, with the whole thing being a test recorded in a save file you can show your friends. All while wrapped in a much more comedic style as compared to similar titles. It's genuinely one of the most charming games I have played in a long while. And all of it was made by mostly one guy (another guy did the soundtrack and it's filled with bangers). Only gripes I could really say about it is that while the writing for most of the companions don't really have anything good for pacifist runs despite that, GOTY for me hands down, crabmeat companion for Athenian Rhapsody 2 PLEASE

Let me preface by saying, overall, it is a pretty good game. However, let’s get this out of the way. This is basically an Undertale fan game. There are elements that feel like 1 to 1 copies , and that is fine. Undertale was a huge game, and it makes sense that it would inspire games heavily . The combat is solid, and it is mostly charming. I know some people feel like Undertale’s humor was forced, or “cringe” , but I always felt those people were just being joyless. However, AR kind of cranks the “humor” up to an 11, and there were moments where I was feeling what others must have felt about undertale. It doesn’t help that most of the characters get very little depth or things to do , so they basically show up, do some random wacky stuff, join your party, and then never do anything again. All that being said, if a wackier undertale sounds appealing to you, it is surprisingly polished , and there are lots of little variables and choices to make, so it is worth a shot.

Hello friends, Today I will review the game Athenian Rhapsody. This game is based on the same style that Undertale follows. If you never played Undertale, there are certain ways to play it. This game also has those similar ways to play it. Most of the game is surreal and weird. The player will meet many wacky individuals in the game to interact with. Each NPC has their own story and personality. The quirky writing and style of the game may turn off some players, but the game does have a story and several messages. There is also DLC coming in the future, and events that the developers release slowly over time which the player can download to play them also. Event Rhapsodies are rare, and the player must keep an eye on the newsfeed for this game to get them. Players can also upload and download their friends Rhapsodies, which are they game's story basically. Also, if the player is very patient, they can download the Munchkin Download. From the sounds of it, it takes forever and can fail. I personally avoided it as i think my pc would explode waiting that long to download it. Anyways, here is my PROS and CONS list for the game: PROS: - A wacky surreal game about adventuring in a land of dreams called Athenian. - The player can choose how they play, whether violently or peaceful. - Interesting NPC's that have their own personalities and weaknesses. - Fights are mini games, similar to the same system used in the game UNDERTALE. - Players can recruit random NPC's to help them with there adventuring. Every recruited friend even say different things when adventuring to different areas. - Multiple endings with different things can happen depending on how the players interact with the world and characters. - Players can save and give their Rhapsodies to other players and share them. - Event Rhapsodies that the developer releases to add more back lore or extra things to the game. Players need to download them like other players Rhapsodies. - Side quests that span the whole game world. - This game can work with a controller or with a keyboard and mouse. I played with a ZEN PRO switch controller. - Works on windows 11 OS. CONS: - Intro has no skip feature, which becomes annoying to sit there and wait for intro to fully play. If you play the game alot and have to turn it off and on alot, the intro can become annoying. - The graphics will not be everyone's cup of tea. They are strange and surreal. I believe the developer made them like this on purpose since the world is a dream world. - The weirdness of the game may turn off some players who want more serious games. - The game always starts in windowed mode. I wish the game remembered my setting of putting it in Fullscreen mode. Do I recommend this game? I will, but only for a certain type of gamer. This type of gamer would be one that likes indie rpg games, that are wacky, and yet fun at the same time. The graphics are weird and silly, and the game has many npc's with their own back stories and lives. They act alot like real life people with problems too. The world has it's own lore which the player can discover if they play the game fully. The player can even recruit some friends to help them thru their adventure. So yea, the game is weird, surreal, quirky, and silly. It was interesting enough for me to play it with all the weirdness.
