Fadry

Even though, at this point, I am somewhat disappointed - I would still recommend this game. Spoilers below, be warned. The dialogues are rather well written, and I found myself immersed into the "main character" despite the slow pacing. Really, a game needs that -something- to make you start writing down notes for reference. However, what I can not get over is the twist at Act 3. Or, perhaps Act 2? At that point, it isn't too obvious as to what was going on. Now, having started Act 3, I am still not entirely sure. I think my main grievance with it is that the whole deal with the "soup" is so outlandish and unpredictable, that it pushes - and snaps - my suspension of disbelief. I think that the setup for it is not even remotely baked enough. It is so out of left field, in my opinion. It feels a bit like Attack on Titan, where the show would have been far more better had it stayed to what drew us in initially. I am not sure if I'll be coming back to the game to finish it. Can't get rid of this deflated feeling, when I think about it. Still, I will be definitely trying out whatever else the Dev puts out. I can't in good faith not recommend this one, despite my personal dissatisfaction.

Well made game! Interesting story and characters. Good dialogue too. I'm waiting for the next chapter! And hope my reports help to fix some bugs ;)

Ran fine on Steam Deck with Proton Experimental, though it did not play in full screen. I had to give up on this one. There's a lot of potential here for an immersive roleplaying experience. Not many games will make you pay close attention to what NPCs are telling you. But the whole time I was playing Fadry, I had to ask why. Why are we bothering to talk to every NPC in the area? Why should I care about this completely personality-void protagonist? Why are there so many extremely long pathways?? It frustrates me because I was so excited to see an RPGMaker dev try something different. The NPCs that you're not accosting for boring minutiae can be pretty hilarious. One NPC in a book shop loudly complains about words not being pronounced as they're spelled. One child is just really obsessed with water for some reason. It was cute, and if I was more invested in this game to keep playing, I'm sure there would be more examples like this. I have to query what made the developer choose such a blank state protagonist when they clearly have a skill for humour. I can understand wanting to build mystery and intrigue, but I need a reason to care about these people. It doesn't have to be a moral, lawful good reason. But my brief playtime was spent just following these 2 bozos around while they chat to every single NPC in town to ask if they've seen a random elf. It's not compelling in the slightest, and it doesn't make me care when we enter the protag's dream sequence. I wish the developer success in their future endeavours, but I cannot recommend this.

well it's cheap it's easy and it's free some more honest review would be its really slow and a lot to read the sound effects were nice and the fights were fun all in all its not a game for everyone but its free so give it a try if you want to

Игра 'Fadry' оставила после себя смешанные чувства. С одной стороны, задумка мира и персонажей весьма оригинальна и привлекательна. Визуальный стиль, особенно дизайн окружения, выполнен на высоком уровне и создает приятную атмосферу таинственности. Сюжет, завязанный на исследовании древних руин и разгадывании головоломок, поначалу захватывает, но, к сожалению, ближе к середине начинает провисать из-за чрезмерной затянутости. Боевая система, хоть и выглядит эффектно, быстро становится однообразной. Не хватает разнообразия в атаках и противниках. Прокачка персонажа также реализована довольно скудно, не предлагая значимых улучшений, которые бы существенно влияли на геймплей. В общем и целом, 'Fadry' обладает большим потенциалом, но страдает от недостаточной полировки и глубины механик. Если разработчики продолжат развивать проект и учтут критику, то в будущем игра сможет раскрыть свой потенциал полностью. Пока же это неплохая, но далеко не идеальная адвенчура на один раз.
