User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
Gameplay is very demanding and not very satisfying. Lots of time is spent waiting for stamina to recharge. Movement is very slippery. Your sprint stops when jumping, you cannot change trajectory after sprint-jumping, no jump buffering, and no semi-solid platform snapping. Any sizable damage you take does smash-bros-levels of knockback, ricocheting you off of anything behind you. I died many times due to these seemingly small things and it was quite annoying. Bossfights are brutally tough, but many have an exploit if you can find it. There's a boss that teleports to you to perform a glorified grab attack three times in a row. This attack, if successful, stuns you for multiple seconds, during which they will steal a healing item from your inventory and use it on themselves. If I didn't abuse their weaknesses I would be toast. Your main source of healing are consumables that you will need to find/buy and use your limited inventory space for. Cooking even involves a reaction-based minigame. The story and worldbuilding is exciting. The world itself is beautiful, fun, and rewarding to explore. Puzzles are tough. Post-tutorial, you discover new mechanics by experimenting. There are accessibility options, but you will be challenged regardless.
There has never been such an incredible game that I hate to play. As most reviews will touch on, Phoenotopia has SO much going well for it! And yet, it is severely held back by movement/combat limitations that suck all the fun away. Environs are colorful and unique as the music and characters. The story is engaging, unusual, and brilliantly manages to weave complex lore in at a pace that feels neither sluggish nor overwhelming. I want to note this is an extremely rare trait to find in games with heavy lore. The world builds itself naturally, and this in turn lends itself to a stimulating game experience that makes you want to progress and keep learning. The writing is phenomenal. Quests are enjoyable and varied, as well! The visual style blends well with the rest of the game and is (crucially) not cluttered, even in areas meant to look busy. Again, this game has so much going well. ...And then, it doesn't. Movement is slippery and attacks are slow. Aim is very sensitive on ranged weapons, while your melee weapons have a range that's effectively zero. Together, this means you miss a lot and take tons of damage. And! The knockback on hit is immense. Now, all of this is frustrating, but would not be such a bother if the game didn't require you to regularly undergo fast-paced combat against tens of enemies at once, as well as 1,001 precision platforming puzzles (many of which are timed) in order to progress the story. Prime example: Ancient Vault near Adar's house. I was excited to finally be able to explore this place that had been hinted at from the beginning, but ended up leaving it incomplete because it's full of challenges that highlight the very worst of the movement and combat mechanics. I'm just about done with the game, and I'm sad to say I'm finishing it just because I love the story and want to see it through. I will not be going out of my way to 100% it. Typically, I really enjoy stretching out playtime by finding hidden secrets or completing optional quests; Phoenotopia has plenty of those to offer! But the hassle, the thought of dealing with mechanics that fight you just as much as the enemies on screen, it's so not worth it,
an extremely dense and particular game with a fantastic soundtrack. rewarding for folks who like to dig and dig and dig into something. the pacing is all over the place and the ending is a bit disappointing no matter when you get to it, so don't worry about burning out on the game chasing down every sidequest; all of that's the best stuff. high li'l stinker opportunity in this game. lots of places you can sneak into a little bit early once you learn the edges of the platforming and get some of the mid-game tools, but enough smart guardrails to prevent you from soft-locking yourself if you get too naughty. the combat prioritizes defensive play but still gives you a lot of wiggle room once you get a handle on the technical movement. very easy for a single hit to start snowballing, and also very enjoyable to learn how to prevent that from happening and recover when it does. for most boss fights i had a really satisfying progression of getting my ass beat at the start, catching my bearings just long enough to recover, and then getting it together and starting to recognize my safe spots just in time to scrape together a win. try out the demo, get to a boss fight. if you hate it, let yourself be filtered and save some time since it will only demand more from you after that. if you like it, you'll have a good 30 to 50 hours ahead of you to feast on.
Everything in this game is great from exploration, art, animations and even humor. But the combat system is ass. You cannot interrupt attack animation to jump, yet your jump attack can get interrupted from landing. So you get the worst of both worlds with this design. Top it off with strong enemy attacks making you bounce around the screen like a table tennis ball into more attacks or environmental hazards. Any encounter with more than two enemies is annoying to deal with because of how stiff the character controls are. The game offers you difficulty adjustment options but none of them fix the issues I mentioned. It was purely everything else being so excellent especially with the quality of side content and dungeons to explore that I dragged myself through the bad combat system. I may sound very harsh in this review but it is mainly because this one part of the game being implemented so badly ruins otherwise excellent experience. Still recommended.
