A great game overall! but personally not a big fan of the last half [spoiler](great plot twist but I'd have finished the game with the battle of Cazanseco)[/spoiler].

I bought the game in an impulse, I had just finished Northern Journey and absolutely adored it and was searching for a similar game. This game was recommended in a reddit thread and it ticked all the boxes at the start, 2 man team, exploration, foreign land with mystery etc eetc. This is also quite clearly a passion project and there are many great things in it. But I think in the end I cannot recommended unless in specific cases, specially if you wnat a Northern Journey like experience like me. For streaming its an excelent game, as you are trying to theorize stuff with viewers and figure out quite random puzzles, but alone its quite a challenge in some of these aspects. Things I liked: - Interesting and creative setting, world and characters, although underexplained and underdeveloped - Great writing, characters dialogue is well written, thoughtful and intriguing - Different endings - Done with passion Things I did not like: - Save system was a bit punishing, specially in later areas - Extremely simple combat, you have a bow and arrow and a sword, weapons that you get progressing in the game are just stat boosts basically. What you get in the start of the game is what you will be fighting with for 10 hours or more. - Repetitive enemies, i fought so many of the same bosses as regular enemies, some enemy variety would be much appreciated - Puzzling design decisions that make playing frustrating or pointless, way too long corridors ( looking at you magic reflecting shield cave) for nothing. - Soundtrack devolves into madness and background noise, or progresses into weird chords that dont fit the setting of the game in my opinion, this makes sense in some parts of the game sure, but damn wouldnt it be great to have a more folk type soundtrack, maybe even central american folk inspired in it. For the developer what would make the experience better: - More varied weapons as you progress with different mechanics - More appropriate soundtrack - More enemy variety -World that feels more "alive" with more plants, settlements, sound design, interesting sights and etc. You two have great world building and have solid writing, please continue making games!

Para mi gusto, un muy buen juego de aventuras. Se podría decir que similar a Zelda: Ocarina of Time pero en primera persona y con gráficos de esos mismos años. Es un juego de desarrollo lineal pero con exploración en áreas abiertas. El combate se basa en tu habilidad de golpear, esquivar o bloquear en el momento justo, no hay subida de nivel ni mejora de estadísticas, salvo mejorar la salud. Hay puzles y son relativamente fáciles de resolver (pisar interruptores para abrir pasillos, lanzar flechas para activar plataformas o abrir puertas mediante códigos escritos en alguna parte). El movimiento del personaje está muy bien calibrado y en las secciones de plataformas responde muy bien. El juego está en inglés sin opción de subtítulos. El texto es relativamente simple. En mi opinión hay como 3 situaciones en donde se te explica mediante texto hacia donde ir, pero el juego es lineal y no permite avanzar si no obtienes los objetos necesarios. Solo tomaría tiempo deducirlo. En definitiva, un sorprendente juego, sencillo en mecánicas, pero con buena diversidad de escenarios y enemigos. A veces con tintes de Half Life, pero con espada y escudo. Joyita.

amusing action adventure puzzle game akin to legend of zelda type

This game gets wild. If you like Dread Delusion or Lunacid then you will probably like this, falls into the same abstract retro fantasy genre that they do. Isn't strictly an RPG like those 2 but it scratches a similar itch.

A little gem of a game, with a great setting.

[h2]This is an old-school Dungeon Crawler through and through - for better or for worse[/h2] [i]Review after completion[/i] [u]Expected playtime:[/u] ~10-15 hours If you are looking for a traditional dungeon crawler experience, you are in the perfect place. Seeping with retro graphics and atmosphere, this world is ripe for discovery and adventure that will get more and more weird and surreal the more you progress. Interesting and crazy locations to explore, a few light environmental puzzles, weird enemies and characters, a mystery to uncover, a world to save from destruction. That being said, it has all the inevitable weak points of this genre. Often times the game is quite on-rails and tunnel-y (especially the early-game), but you will get a lot more freedom exploring branching pathways eventually. The combat is an afterthought at best in a hack-and-slash/kite/strafing fashion, it is not the main focus of the game. You have a sword, a shield and a bow, and that's pretty much it for the entire game. You will get quest-related upgrades to them with a bit of damage boost, but functionally, they will remain the same. The bosses have 1-2 gimmicks you have to learn in order to beat them. Some of my curiosity was turned to disappointment when I got to hidden/hard to reach places where I felt like [i]there should have been[/i] loot, but there was nothing... The loot in this game is not super complex. Health, ammo for the bow and the rare and quite well-hidden permanent HP increasing gems. You have 20 base HP+ 16 with gems, but don't worry too much about them, You can do perfectly fine in this game with just your base 20 HP. All I am saying here is that it is not a deep game mechanically, so if that's what you are looking for, you won't find it here. Also, the game is definitely overstaying its welcome. There was a point in the game which could have been the perfect ending ([spoiler]the wizard battle[/spoiler]), but it just kept going on and on for a few more hours. [spoiler]Tul Alorea[/spoiler] was still good, but it was REALLY dragging from [spoiler]Tul Enorye[/spoiler] and onward. Anyways, the game is still VERY good and its scope is impressive. If retro dungeon crawlers are your jam, definitely play this. Great bang for your buck.

很不错的游戏，就是引导差了点。

very cool. has a lot of personality. other people comparing it to northern journey aren't wrong (its a good thing). the american southwest aesthetic pairs really well with the kind of fantasy the game has going on. i havent really seen anything else use that setting for something like this. love it. [spoiler]if anything, the second half doesn't have as much going on. levels get a bit too open and there's a noticable lack of NPCs.[/spoiler] still quite enjoyed this. i would recommend it if you're like me and love anything somewhat king's field-like. looking forward to seeing more from millenniapede!!!

Overall, the game has a pretty interesting, spooky vibe. It’s ugly, but it’s got something The mechanics actually work, but the game is pretty boring, we are doing the same thing over and over, relying on the same mechanics and puzzles uhhh There was a moment when I thought the game was already over. If it had ended there, it would have gotten a higher score :D what happened afterward felt a bit forced. And I didn’t like the story it was kind of flat. The combat is just okay, there are a lot of empty and even sad areas. Hmm, it’s kind of a walking simulator. The game saves at specific points, and they’re in such ridiculous places that I’m speechless. Why can’t I skip the cutscenes? To sum it up, the game exhausted me, it was too boring and exhaustingly difficult. In general, I don’t recommend it there are better games out there, unless it’s on a big sale. I'm tired boss 2/5!111
