Don't judge a book by its cover. A diamond in the rough. A hidden gem. An excellent text based RPG adventure with point n click illustrations. Assets gained throughout play can be be converted into weapons, items and allies. Don't look at a guide for the conversions. It's part of the charm. A++
[h1]Just very very fun[/h1] No one is going to be getting this game for its graphics, that's for sure, but what it lacks in visual appeal, it more than makes up for with humour, creativity, and a pretty interesting story. The ending was slightly disappointing, but that doesn't take away from the overall fun you'll have while going through the game. This, coupled with there being multiple - and by that I mean [i]tons of[/i] - ways to play this game to reach the most desirable ending, keeps the game fresh, always engaging, and gives you a sense of freedom, in that you can rest assured that whatever path you take, there (mostly) will be a way to rectify previously-made bad choices. I loved most of all the crafting ability, where you get to choose some pretty wacky & laughable weapons/skills/allies that can end up working very well if you can figure out when/how to use them, and also the fact that there is a choice at almost every turn, that [i]does[/i] affect the outcome you get. What an awesome experience this was! Not to mention, you can go back and replay the game multiple times, choosing different items to craft each time (the choices are plentiful & very varied), and choosing different story options. If you're the type who loves old-school adventure games peppered with some basic (mostly logical) RPG-style combat, and appreciates exploring different builds for your character, I highly recommend you give this game a try. [h1]Rating: 4.5/5[/h1]

ABSOLUTELY Bizarre and one of a kind! A masterclass in indie design and creativity. I love the mspaint visuals with the funny writing. Would recommend!
[Quote][h1][b]Per altre recensioni segui 👍 il nostro [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40165899]Curatore in lingua italiana[/url].[/b][/h1][/Quote] Su questo gioco bisogna intendersi: esso infatti appartiene a quella categoria di giochi che, attraverso meccanismi semplici, possono far vibrare piacevolmente le corde interne di un giocatore. Oppure no. La categoria è quella dei giochi che presentano una grafica caratteristica ed interessante anche artistica ma non pretenziosa, da sembrare che giri anche sui vecchi Amiga; inoltre sfruttano meccaniche semplici, come quelle di questo gioco che pone il giocatore davanti ad incontri con personaggi e nemici stravaganti con dialoghi dello stesso tono e dà la possibilità di costruire oggetti tra i più strampalati possibili da usare in combattimento. Il tutto, e date le premesse si è capito, condito con ironia e buonumore. Le recensioni sono un plebiscito di commenti positivi. Ma io non mi sono divertito. Mi è sembrato alla lunga noioso, ed inoltre c'è questo 'prepotente' inglese che non ci fa apprezzare completamente la dialettica, che è un punto forte del gioco: niente a che vedere con il nostro melodioso italiano così artistico, sontuoso e ricco. Gli dò il giudizo positivo? Va bene, ma turandosi il naso.
A true hidden gem.
This is a wonderfully bonkers adventure/rpg game. It's difficult to describe but it has wonderful characters and a great sense of humor. There are so many combinations of weapons and allies that it's worth playing multiple times too. I just read Psydra Games' announcement that they are closing down, so if you think you might like this game, be sure to buy it before it's gone forever.
This is one of my favorite hidden gems on Steam, with fun combat that focuses on collecting items that can be used for combo attacks. You're constantly obtaining more items as you progress, which opens up more ways to experiment with combos. The writing is funny too.
A well-written oldschool adventure with some degree of RPG elements. The visual style is great and very pleasant. A little bit too short, but doesn`t end too abruptly. Got several chuckles out of me. The characters are believable. One of the better steam games, definetely happy I`ve bought and beaten it.
Apparently I got the bad ending, just selected a question option for the hell of it and the game wouldn't let me continue from my save, instead making me start over from the beginning, nice stuff. Well, it's a beat anyhow, and not really one to my tastes. The game has it's set style of humour, reminds me of Douglas Adams' books to be honest. It got pretty difficult at points and I wanted to see what consequences other choices would've had, but you need multiple playthroughs for this. Still, if you're a fan of quirky humor and point-n-click-RPG mashups, I can definitely recommend this for a playthrough. It's got tons of character!
Honestly, if you want a wacky, oldschool game, this is the one. I got it in a bundle many years ago and decided to play on a good night, and boy was I not disapointed. The dialogs are the diamonds IMO, just, play it with little serious. It's funny It get harder the more you progress. Though I didn't finish it!
