This game was a LOT better than I thought it could be even though I did think it was gonna be good. The amount of content and the progression surprised me with how interesting they were. Though I could do without the last 2 tiers of items. At that point I didn't have much else to do with the game so I was kinda bored in the last 6 hours or so. Except for that, overall pretty fun times.

Game was pretty short and alright. Delving into the specifics, I can confidently say that the game looks beautiful, the sprites, the setting, animations and the UI. Soundtrack was good except for the battle theme which was funny more than anything. The writing was alright/good, as the game was pretty short, don't expect an insane full-fledged mind-blowing story. Though unfortunately the combat was pretty lackluster... It looks like there is a good amount of variety in abilities but they are very lazy and the counterpart to palette-swaps basically. I like the rhythm-like minigames in turn-based games but I would have loved it to evolve in time. Enemies also almost never do anything interesting and I did not see an "escape" button in battles. Though the fact that you can literally control the random encounters is also a way to implement this I should admit. Even though the game was overall not too impressive, I can see an incredibly solid foundation that could lead to a really good game.

Do NOT rush the main quest, the side quests and some DLCs (Shivering Isles) are really fun. Overall really fun game I didn't think I would like it much after playing Skyrim (which I am indifferent to, vanilla at least) but I was very wrong.

Easily one of the best games I have ever played.

It was miles better than Half Life 1. I especially liked how the weapon balance shifted. Xen was INSANELY long it bored me after a while but at least it was not horrible like Half Life 1 Xen.

Horribly balanced. Nothing dies (especially bosses) and you get comboed even if you make one mistake.

ITS PEAK TRY MY MOD OUT!!!

I hate this game's bosses a ton though.
Also Pacifist is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ horrible character do NOT play it on Danger 5 Abyss.

This game was almost in every single way, better than any pokemon game lmao.
Gorgeous pixel art, well done soundtrack, a nice little story, important qol features etc.
It was just fun all the way from the start to the end.

There are a billion things to manage which is somewhat interesting but quickly gets overwhelming. The gameplay loop itself is fine but there are a lot of small problems which makes the game feel very time gated and or scummy at times. The quests are not well designed. You have to wait a lot for some of them because of the week system (some very important characters only appear once a week). Progression is pretty cool and fun but for some reason the huge tech tree lets you unlock nodes that you cannot yet utilize which makes your spent ability points ultimately go to the void until you can actuall access that specific thing by unlocking other nodes which relate to them somehow. The refugee dlc was fun IMO. The tavern wasn't bad either. The soul dlc I almost never used even though I built the machines and did some quests for. All in all even though I complained a lot here, the game made me keep playing so I can say its fine.

It was pretty alright for a beat em up.
