Great story, gameplay could've got more polishing but it was still fun, only minor bumps in the road. VERY recommended

June 2025

This is game that sat in my backlog unfinished for waaay too long, i played the first chapter and temporarily dropped it due to other things, but i am so glad i went back and finished it! The combat took a bit getting used to, but after you learn that parrying is key and not to focus too much on the groovy critical hits it becomes way more fun. I would say that it gets better as the game progresses (i guess due to the secrets being revealed?), with the highlight being the ending, but it is quite fun throughout! I thought this game would have a "twist ending" since the start considering it also had a kind of "twist beginning", but it was so much more than i expected, i loved it! Highly recommend if you enjoy games such as deltarune and iconoclasts!

This game is really good. Story: The story is super interesting. Playing as the minion who kills the hero is such an interesting concept and leads to some funny interactions with the rest of the minions. That said there is one flaw I find in the pacing of the story. World 1 is long and super boring. But the game really starts to pick up afterwards and especially once you hit world 4. Personally, I'm surprised it took me 11 hours. I thought it took longer. Gameplay: I really liked the gameplay. You have a stamina system that let's you use a variety of attacks. But if you run out of stamina then you can't block. Perfect blocking helps you recharge stamina. It's a nice little balancing act. Overall, good game and great story.

9/10 game. This game has a parody structure that leans heavily into J-RPG styles of writing while still being unique in it's own approach as a half-critique and half-meta approach to the storytelling. The gameplay loop is satisfying and well-balanced, but outside of the combat, some things are a little... slow. Even if you've solved a puzzle before and know the solution, it is still time-consuming and slightly frustrating to replay certain parts of the game to redo the puzzle solution(s). Granted, this is the kind of game that you are supposed to play once and then revisit in a few years once you've forgotten your first playthrough. This game isn't very replayable, but it isn't trying to be. It's an extremely solid story with combat that is tight-knit with cool designed things to do that feel great to master. There's just a few minor things that add up to be minor annoyances for roughly 30 total minutes of playtime, spread throughout the 6 or so hours you will spend on your first playthrough (at least, my first playthrough was 6 hours to beat the game)
