About


When a mysterious entity known as The Void steals the Essence Crystal, life in the village begins to fade. Emotions vanish, motivation dwindles, and people slowly become empty shells of themselves. Now, Laisa must leave everything behind and embark on a journey through a world consumed by fear, uncertainty, and darkness. But the greatest battle may not be against monsters. It may be against her own insecurities. A journey about emotions, courage, and self-esteem. In Esteem, your emotional state directly affects gameplay. As Laisa battles fear and low self-esteem, the world around her becomes more dangerous. Enemies grow stronger, challenges become more difficult, and even simple battles can turn into insurmountable obstacles. To stay strong, you need to help others, build friendships, care for animals, explore the world, and discover what truly gives Laisa the strength to keep going.

[h1] Information / Review English [/h1] Esteem - The Little Wolf Saga is a published tactical role-playing game developed by Inugami Studio. The game is still in development, so bugs may occur from time to time. [h1] Gameplay / Story [/h1] A peaceful village without war, destruction, and fear – this is the dream of many people. In this game, our journey begins in such a village and we relive the story of the little wolf Laisa. One day, the idyll is destroyed, as our village is haunted by a being called "The Void," and our relic is stolen. It's not just a relic, but a very important one, as the essence crystal regulates everything in this village. The village is no longer what it once was; people are changing, feelings and emotions are clearly visible, and anger also arises. Laisa doesn't think twice, packs her things for the adventure, and sets herself the goal of retrieving the crystal. She quickly realizes that she, too, is struggling with her inner conflicts on her journey. Challenges await us and our companions. Our morale must always be kept high, otherwise we'll fall into a deep hole and run into problems on our adventure. So we complete various tasks that bring her joy, such as fighting, gathering materials, and helping people. As we know from other games of the genre, our battles are turn-based. We choose an attack, defense, use an item, or select from a special category. [h1] Pros [/h1] + Pixel Art Style + Successful combination of RPG and strategy elements + Tactical combat + Easy to learn + Numerous weapons and customization options + Several settings options + Reasonable price/performance ratio [h1] Cons [/h1] - Few languages available so far [h1] Conclusion [/h1] Esteem - The Little Wolf Saga offers a successful combination of RPG and strategy elements. It offers good content despite its development phase. [h1][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/26335619-Adult-World-Gamers/] First of all, many thanks to the developer for providing us with this key for the group. You can find more great reviews from others and me here, and if you liked the review, we would appreciate a thumbs up. [/url][/h1] [h1] Information / Review Deutsch [/h1] Esteem - The little wolf saga ist ein erschienenes Taktik-Rollenspiel, welches von Inugami Studio entwickelt wurde. Das Spiel befindet sich noch in der Entwicklungsphase, daher können Fehler immer mal wieder auftreten. [h1] Gameplay / Geschichte [/h1] Ein ruhiges Dorf ohne Krieg, Zerstörung und Angst, dies ist der Traum vieler Menschen. In diesem Spiel beginnt unsere Reise in so einem Dorf und wir spielen die Geschichte der kleinen Wölfin Laisa nach. Eines Tages wird die Idylle zerstört, den unser Dorf wird von einem Wesen namens „Die Leere“ heimgesucht und unsere Relikt wird entwendet. Es ist nicht nur ein Relikt, sondern ein sehr wichtiges, den der Essenzkristall reguliert alles in diesem Dorf. Das Dorf ist nicht mehr das was es einmal war, Menschen verändern sich, Gefühle und Emotionen werden deutlich sichtbar und Wut kommt auch auf. Laisa denkt nicht lange nach, packt ihre Sachen zusammen für das Abenteuer und setzt sich als Ziel den Kristall wieder zu beschaffen, dabei merkt sie schnell, dass auch sie mit sich selbst und ihre inneren Konflikte kämpft auf ihrer Reise. Herausforderungen erwarten auf uns und den Gefährten nun. Unsere Moral muss immer hoch gehalten werden, sonst fallen wir in in großes Loch und bekommen Probleme in unserem Abenteuer. Wir erledigen also verschiedene Aufgaben, die ihr Freude bereiten, wie Kämpfen, sammeln von Materialien und Menschen helfen. Wie wir es aus anderen Spielen des Genres kennen, finden unsere Kämpfe runden basiert statt. Wir wählen einen Angriff, Verteidigung aus, benutzen ein Item oder wählen aus einer spezial Kategorie aus. [h1] Pro [/h1] + gelungene Kombination von RPG und Strategie-Elementen + taktische Kämpfe + leicht zu erlernen + etliche Waffen und Anpassungsmöglichkeiten + einige Einstellungsmöglichkeiten + passendes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis [h1] Kontra [/h1] - wenig Sprachen bisher verfügbar [h1] Fazit [/h1] Esteem - The little wolf saga bietet dir eine gelungene Kombination von RPG und Strategie-Elementen. Es bietet trotz der Entwicklungsphase einen guten Content.
jogo tem muito potencial, uma equipe nova no ramo e muito dedicada
jogo bom
eu percebi que "esteem" como uma forma de transformar sentimentos que a gente vive no dia a dia em uma jornada… 🥺💜 é um jogo sobre autoestima, medo e sobre continuar mesmo quando tudo dentro de você diz pra desistir. a Laisa não tá só tentando salvar a aldeia dela… ela também tá tentando se encontrar no meio disso tudo. espero de verdade que, de alguma forma, esse jogo abrace quem jogar 💫
Jogo bem bom equipe que esta começando, desenvolvedora nova e independente satisfatório de jogar para um jogo que acabou de lançar
O game Esteem foi planejado para envolver os players em uma narrativa cuja mensagem é o cuidado com a auto estima e como isso pode impactar nos desafios de nossa vida. Com personagens envolventes criados com base nas características de pessoas reais, suas personalidades se refletem dentro do game de forma delicada e impactante. O game é uma poesia em pixel art.
Adorei o jogo! Muito bem feito! Parabéns pelos desenvolvedores do próprio ótimo trabalho! E digno dos prêmios que recebeu!
Jogo leve e divertido, com uma história tranquila e missões empolgantes. Traz uma ótima sensação de nostalgia, lembrando os clássicos da era 16-bits. A jogabilidade é simples e envolvente, perfeita para relaxar e se divertir sem complicação. Recomendo 👍✨
Jogo tranquilo e Relaxante. Parabéns aos desenvolvedores
