Very great artstyle and a classic RPG game

好玩，美术音乐不错。可惜本体剧情谜语人，第一个村庄认识的村民死得毫无存在感，主线后期的时间倒流解谜也是有点恶心人的。DLC还可以。

Good

Flawed goodness. I can tell a lot of heart and passion was put into making this game. The game is mostly dialogue broken up by small dungeons with puzzles and combat. I love visual novels so I liked this format. The characters are super charming and the sound design is really good. The music is fantastic. The 3D art made to look like 2D pixel art with great lighting and shadows is amazing. The story has some pacing issues. It stops to smell the roses a little too long at times. The monkey chapter could have been cut and the last town had too much gameplay repetition. I wish the protagonist had a voice and wasn't mute because he is more his own character than a self insert. I do not like the combat very much. It is an annoyance I need to push through to move the story forward. It's frustrating and often requires precise timing. Having two hit boxes really sucks and it was impossible to avoid damage at times from certain enemies. Not engaging with enemies when possible is more rewarding than fighting everything which is weird in a non stealth game. Drop rates on health is really bad so I had to rely on cooking as health potions. There were a lot of times I was hoping for a cooking pot because I was out of food and struggling to get through sections. I probably wouldn't have finished the game out of pure frustration several times if it weren't for the pity system in place that kicks in if you're stubborn enough. Every new room is an auto save and after dying like 15-20 times in a room the game would eventually refill all my health and ammo. That pity refill let me eventually brute force the rooms giving me grief. The last part of the game has a pretty big difficulty spike too. I'm not sure who I would recommend this game to. It's more visual novel than combat game but if someone is just into visual novels they probably won't like the combat. And someone who wants a Zelda like combat game will probably get annoyed by all the dialogue. Overall I'm glad I played through the game to experience the characters and atmospheric world.

FANTASTICO, essa palavra define !!! Unico defeito é não ter em português de maneira oficial

Hmm... the game has great worldbuilding and sets the tone nicely for your adventures, but, and its probably just me, the story felt kind of random and confusing at the times and I ended up dropping the game :/ I really do wanna pick it backup at some point, but I feel like it tries to go for a mysterious kinda thing that to me just misses the mark. I'm sure if I replay it with a fresh pair of eyes and a more developed brain I'll enjoy it more, but for now it sits at a "mehh."

It's like playing a JRPG with Metal Slug graphics. Fantastic! Loved the very detailed and cute style, it has an awesome coin-op feel which is rare to find elsewhere nowadays. Combat isn't very difficult, but not too easy either. I loved every second of it.
