April 2025
For a game that only cost me a few dollars, this is SICK! The fighting system is simple to understand and fun to engage with, and the npc's you meet are pretty funny. The story is alright, and I wish the npc's had more to say, but it's generally wonderful. And the music? goes insane.

Pretty fun game for almost no cost. The story is cheesy but I didn't expect fear and hunger levels of story, I enjoyed it nevertheless. What drew me was the gameplay, which is where most people split on this. Fights are a puzzle to be solved, not a stat stick to out stat stick. It requires some trial and error, but the complexity and depth of strategies available actually surprised me a lot. You are given the tools to win every fight, it's just up to you to put the right pieces together for the right fights. The AI chooses the best move given their situation every time, so you have to set up situations where none of their options are good. I only had to grind at the end when I figured out I needed to level up a specific item to beat the final boss. There are definitely technical problems with the game, but the people bashing the game for being grindy or too difficult are just self-reporting their own skill issue.

this game rules, it is short and efficient little micro rpg with a really unique battle system! the story is kind of generic but it's still charming. at only six hours long and costing $2 it is extremely worth playing through (i played through the game using easyrpg so steam wasn't keeping track most of the time fwiw it took me about 6 hours to beat)

Pretty odd game. You need to enable proton or it will eventually break on steam deck towards the end, but I was able to finish it with no issues. For the 99 cents I paid, it's a good deal. A lot of other indie games I find boring or too similar to others. This one actually has an interesting story, world, and the combat system is actually very fun. It's really a strange game though and it kinda drops you in with no explanation, and then explains the story over time as you go further. Compared to other indie games out there, this is actually a good one.

Honestly, a pretty glad surprise for something I bought on a whim, there's a genuinely huge amount of care put into the game, and it shows. Since it is a VIPRPG (a "sh*tpost/high effort joke" made entirely out of stock assets), it doesn't surprise me that the dev managed to make the most out of the default models. There was definitely a lot of thought put into how to use them and making them into their own chars themselves, being a stand out for a little short experience. And I could spend hours talking about it, but the highlight is its custom battle system, making every fight into a puzzle instead of your usual turn-based fights. I can only think of a single game that did a system like this, and I hope more devs aim for this type of system. Genuinely motivated me into trying more VIPRPGs in the future, so give it a check, it's only 2€ full price and gets even lower on sales
