Freak Crossing

好玩！！！地图就是3DS版的动森去掉商店街，好怀念~

Добра гра! Це не зовсім Енімал кроссінг, тут більше лінійна історія невеличкого містечка де майже всі персонажі якісь маргінали. Але це досить цікаво. Треба за всіми слідкувати щоб не розтягнули містечеко на металобрухт, та збирати собі до оселі собак та котів. Є декілька кінцівок, що залежать від ваших рішень та успіхів.

The game has a nice visual style which works well for its parody of Animal Crossing, but it's not funny enough and doesn't have nearly enough writing, variety, or content to justify a price tag. The game plays as a series of vignettes of the villagers having some "real world" problem of alcoholism, gambling, fraud, affairs, etc. and you have to resolve the problem. The juxtaposition of the cutesy Animal Crossing setting and the grim world in which the game is set is the chief joke employed with very little amusing dialogue between. You can talk to uninvolved characters during each sequence, but the [spoiler]7ii mart worker[/spoiler] for example has virtually no writing, just ignoring you and obsessively watching a vaguely described soap opera (if the soap opera was expanded into a lampooning of the genre with pictures, it would be much more acceptable). The resolution of many problems is handled through a variety of simple mini games which begin incredibly abruptly. There are two major problems with the mini games: the first is that they are incredibly easy, so they are not engaging; the second is that the control scheme on a qwerty keyboard is completely bonkers and cannot be customized (WADS or arrows to move, and J and the space bar are in inputs). The side content of the game has the player collect cats and dogs through the game's best mini games. These ultimately involve hunting the town between story beats, and are an excellent addition, though one must wonder why these aren't the fish and bugs that the Animal Crossing series is famous for sending the player to collect or any of the character and home customization for which the game it is parodying is famous. The variation available in the story is grossly limited as well. Most of the mini games, even when you fail them, have no impact on any future dialogue or development of the world (the best implementations include [spoiler]a character stealing the aesthetic benches if you don't catch him and a character framing another for a crime, causing that character (who has such limited dialogue the rest of the game anyway) to disappear[/spoiler]) (the worst example is [spoiler]a character who puts in for a mail-order bride, but you aren't even allowed to fail this mission to introduce this trafficked character to the cast[/spoiler]). I'd like to see more writing and jokes in the game, more stuff to examine everywhere (for jokes and such), and more consequences for failing and succeeding at problem resolution. As it stands, there's just so little here that I could have refunded the game per the Steam policy even after seeing all its variations.

Yeah, the title says what it is. There's a bunch of freaks in this town.. but they're not memorable. Usually, I like exploring maps and talking to all the characters to learn about them. This game makes it feel tedious, running around talking to everyone every scene change. This didn't feel enjoyable and was more of a chore just to understand what's going on. There's barely much that the characters have to say each day, and it's not really important dialogue most of the time. The mini-games are a bit better than the lackluster story. I think mini-games are a unique way to progress, compared to simply dialogue or fights in other RPGs. They're simple and not too difficult in Freak Crossing. No matter if you win or lose, it just takes you to the next part of the story. So many ideas could have been implemented for side quests or tasks to do to make it more exciting. Collecting trash around town, helping characters do shady stuff, I dunno. Regardless, you just get mini-games in-between a thin story, a couple extra platforming ones to collect pets for your house, and that's all. I genuinely wanted to give this game a try because of the art-style and the concept. It's really short and I wish it had more to it. There's great ideas in this game, but not enough substance to them. Sadly, I don't believe I can recommend this game.

お下品なんだけどビジュアルが可愛くて許せるんだよなぁ・・・ ゲームは１周３０分程度で周回しやすいのが良い☺基本はミニゲームをするだけ ミニゲームの種類は単純なものから、こんなのクリアできないよ～ってのまである かわいいから許せるタイプの人は楽しめるはず！

Interesting!

A small yet funny twist to some known games. The minigames are alright but a bit ruthless if you try to go for 100% and the humour is alright to amusing. Its rather cheap and if discounted cheap worth it.
