Ginseng Hero

Boring, dull, repetitive, unsatisfactory combat, and awkward movement.

Cute little forest world Obnoxious rubbery character movement 3+ 'Bosses' Can parry Has an achievement for beating under 15 min and I was able to under 9 Bought on sale

An immensely charming game featuring neat proc-gen animation, surprisingly satisfying combat, and understated meta-progression elements. It's challenging; sometimes you get blindsided and punished by new mechanics, but the thrill of those mechanics finally clicking into place made it worthwhile for me. My only complaints are the long death runs and the unavoidable dialog cues you're forced to click through every time. At $3, and with semi-frequent discounts, this game is more than worth the price of admission.

真的好玩！！！总共打了快两个小时，最后一次尝试21m45s通关，感觉要挤进15分钟有点困难，因为大部分拦路的小虫子都不会复活，但是个子很矮拿着短剑的那一种总是切换地图就复活了，感觉像是bug？特别喜欢死后选一把剑和叶子全额继承的设定，不然可能死了三次之后就不想玩了（）但现实是越打越上头，感觉自己的技术突飞猛进，最重要的一点其实游戏引导没说清楚，导致我前几次死亡一直在青蛙boss之前的两个小飞虫那里，用踢技破防眩晕必须在对方抬手（攻击前摇）的时候使出才有用，大概类似黑魂的反击处决和塞尔达的林克时间（？）领悟到这一点之后感觉变成了无双游戏，最后的车轮战之前我正好刚连续杀完三个boss，八个小虫子直接没有一个摸到过我，全部一脚两刀送走，感觉自己变成了没有感情的割草机器，可惜Steam没有30秒录屏不然我好歹要录下来反复观摩自己的高光时刻(´；ω；`)

Sokpopのデザインが好きなので購入。 一言で表せば、"戦闘は面白いが探索の煩わしさがそれを邪魔している"ゲーム。 アクションはPS1～PS2時代のチャンバラゲーをよりシンプルにしたような感じ。 敵が攻撃する寸前にキックをあてることで敵をスタンさせることができ、決まると気持ちいい。 日本語非対応だが 難しい表現が出てくることはほとんどないので 言語で詰まることはなかった。 気になったのは リトライ性の悪さ。 死ぬと最初からやり直しで、お金や武器（1つのみ）を次の世代に受け継ぐことができるが、金を払って開通した道や手に入れたアビリティは元に戻っているのでリトライする度「戻し作業」をする事になる この値段とボリュームだからこそ許されてるが、我慢ならない人もいるだろうから一応記載しておく。

Finally beat this today (at the time of writing this) and boy was it probably the most simple but rewarding ending i ever got, especially since with how slow this game is it took me HOURS to finish . But i'd say it was worth it, because honestly this is by far my favorite sokpop game of all the ones i have (and even up there with my fav games in general). It's a simple little adventure game about cute little bugs which i love the designs of, and the combat mechanics and everything else is surprisingly fun! and personally i love the weirdly ragdoll-ish procedural animation with how enemies and such waddle around. It makes everything seem a bit more fluid instead of just having the same preset animations. Now i will say there are quite a lot of flaws in this game. There's regular issues with the ragdoll physics and imo some features like the boss fights could potentially be improved ([spoiler]the fact the tiger beetle can basically be cheesed is funny but kinda sad[/spoiler]) and i'd like it if death wasn't quite so easily exploitable, but all and all there aren't really any real issues other then just minor gameplay flaws. And none of those things really bothered me anyway. So generally, atleast for me, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. 100% would definitely recommend to anyone who just wants a simple, cute and stress-free game to enjoy while still having a bit of action. TLDR: Funny buggy bug game, 10/10

cute bug doing violence >:) roguelite structure < :( combat feels really fun and satisfying, but I didn't finish the game because there's a lot of backtracking. going back over the same spots trying to find the same resources to bribe the same npcs to fight the same little critters to attempt the same boss again--but you know, it's trying something here. kinda wish I was able to just run through the game in one go though, cause the characters are real funny lookin' and the encounter design is great but there isn't like, an insane amount of depth to combat... still, there are lots of fresh little ideas here and I think they're worth checking out. I really like the section with the rain droplets and the little dudes, thought that was awesome and the bosses are very cool too! tho if I remember right there was this one frog dude who had this tongue move and it's probably a skill issue but I could not for the life of me understand how to counter it, it felt a bit cheeky :/

When it comes to games where I'm not sure if I'd recommend it or not... I just say yes to help to dev out. That being said, it can be somewhat frustrating. The combat is... acceptable. I'm not too huge of a fan of it, unless I'm just not doing it efficiently. Although I don't mind the slow speed of getting around, it makes the backtracking kind of bad. On the other hand, this is just one of those games where it starts out opaque and then you figure it out more and more. It becomes easier the more you play. I ended up making this a bit harder for myself when it came to collecting the blue leafs to access one of the areas. Pay attention to the order you do things! It's Sokpop, so there's that charm that I love. I'll probably never play it again, but I don't regret my time with it.
