Aether & Iron

I had a great time with this game, though I'd recommend buying it on sale (as I did). It's a fun indie game with some very likeable characters and the tactical car combat gives it a unique flavor.

犹豫了很久才入手的，游玩的整个过程流畅舒适，与其说是crpg，不如说是互动小说+战棋，我觉得有很大一部分评分偏差来自于错误的预期管理，玩之前看到的宣发都是对比极乐迪斯科，实际上游戏部分都基本集中在战旗，而游戏叙事的roll点基本不影响流程。 游戏的叙事我给8分，是一部优秀的科幻悬疑商业编剧，我自己是很喜欢做大量阅读的人，对于游戏中各种奇妙的比喻，风格化的写作语言都接受度良好，当然，如果讨厌在游戏中阅读大量文本的可以提前避开了。 但也是因为宣发的时候总是跟极乐迪斯科比较，通关以后未免觉得回味不足，只能说本游戏编剧是优秀的内容编剧，而极乐迪斯科——是天才编剧。 战旗部分我给6-7分，战棋+配装本身是具备足够的游戏性的，但是配装build严重不足，导致游玩的时候缺乏丰富度，变成了加点比大小，如果能够把各种配装以及对应的build丰富起来，游戏性到8分没有问题。 以下涉及剧透： 角色塑造：所有角色都有种高开低走的后继无力，主角与奈莉尤其明显，主角出场是冷面走私犯，后面变成了救世主英雄，这个心路转变并不是很有说服力，我玩的时候觉得主角真惨，救完你的救他的，救了他的救你的，被前男友背叛还得忍气吞声救回来，奈莉惹出天大的祸主角发怒了一次还得自己上赶着道歉，总之就是很憋屈，看不出主角重大转变的心理动机。 奈莉我真的很膈应这个角色，我大概能明白编剧想要写一个上城区小姐的成长史，但感官上像小龙女下山，前面过分傻白甜各种惹事提要求还总是被宽待，感觉像是点了什么魅惑光环似的，一看脸就当然是原谅她啦，最后一群人绕着她忙活了一整部游戏结果她玩砸了，主角发怒说了两句，竟然当场就发脾气顶嘴然后跑掉了，说是大小姐下凡，但全程一点苦一点亏都没吃，结局就成大善人了，什么保送成圣之路。前脚差点跟导师跑路，后脚导师pk输了就马上变脸大骂导师无耻，怎么看怎么像一个谁赢跟谁的投机分子。 整体游玩感受是初见惊艳，中段扎实，然而越到结尾体感越差，结局匆匆草率，因而还是有些遗憾的。 最后反馈一个bug：主角在最后跟杀手对峙时出现大量文本重复刷屏。

甜品游戏，好评主要在背设，美术，以及全语音

Сильные и независимые женщины против цисгендерных мужемразей в эстетике нуарпанка.

Un gioco di ruolo narrativo (con tiri a 2d6) con elementi di avventura punta e clicca e di azione a turni. Ambientazione ben costruita e affascinante, il design generale tipo Steampunk mi è sempre piaciuto. Direi che mi sta dando un sacco di contenuto interessante e mi intratterrà ancora per un bel po', il mondo mi sembra abbastanza vasto. Ben disegnato, bella musica. Mi piace.

Amazing story and beautiful writing, the world building is incredibly engaging and there's a fun cast of interesting characters. I wish the combat was a bit better, and some of the "choices" you are asked to make have no real impact on the outcome of the narraitve, but I still thoroughly enjoyed my play time. Would love to see a slightly more polished sequel in the future from these devs.

I really wanted to like this game, but I could not really get into it. Honestly, I would give this a neutral score, if I could, because I know some people will be very happy with how the game plays. I finished the first island, and although the story was fairly engaging, and the art is quite gorgeous, the gameplay part is lackluster. Basically, the whole game is a visual novel with few combat encounters thrown in here and there. And while the story is decent, the voice acting is superb, and the worldbuilding is interesting, the gameplay loop doesn't justify going further. I came for a mixture of tactical combat using retro-futuristic cars, and got a bunch of verbose info-dumps on top of a handful of very easy battles. I tried coming back to this game several times after breaks lasting days and weeks, until I finally realized that I didn't want to continue playing at all, because between the wordy dialogues, all that awaited me were boring, unexciting battles that offered very little challenge.

A fantastic retro-future noir story, with superb voice acting, a nicely twisty plot, characters you really connect with, and a flawless noir tone (which is really easy to mess up). I've been humming the theme song for days now and I have been recommending the game to everyone I know who enjoys rpgs and classic noir with a fun twist. Now if they'd just let me write a tabletop rpg version of this setting for them that would be about the only other thing that could make this game better. Outstanding work.
