Kingdoms of the Dump

Kinda saved this and forgot to post this review and now I've been "dumping" (hehehe) a bunch of reviews for all the games I've played today. Not sure how much this game has been updated so leave a comment if they fixed these things or had any big updates. Pros: Funny dialogue, great battle gameplay where spacing determines how much damage you deal and receive, amazingly well-written characters and story, you’ll have the option to choose between a few options for a new skill at certain level ups but you can always go back and change your level up skill choices from the menu itself so you won’t have any regrets or hard choices to make on that part, trails of your own currency are good indicators of where you’re actually supposed to go, buying infinite performance pill near the end of the game be like- Cons: Tedious puzzles, bugs (although not too many that would overwhelmingly get in the way of gameplay), open-world graphics don’t give perspective well (falling off platforms that blatantly look like you can stand on them, the upper part of the world map gives an almost seizure-inducing attempt at a far away 3d perspective), story is way too linear and limits side options until the end of the game, some of the skills honestly feel repetitive and homogenized (considering multiple characters will just straight up have the same skills), some reviews said the end-game is lacking but I honestly think it’s fine it’s just post-game and replayability that’s really suffering, a lot of side quests unlocked at the end of the game, costs $20 without a discount, map in the final game has no clarity By the way, another detail but I’m saying this as someone who overuses the absolutely living ♥♥♥♥ out of save states when I usually emulate other JRPG’s: unless you’re in the open world, you have to find a port a potty checkpoint in order to save on actual stages. Sometimes they appear at a way too generously frequent rate, and sometimes you’ll got like 20 minutes trying to find a save point so you can just take a break. Conclusion: Honestly a great game and I respect that it’s indie as well but some of the design choices were just horrible This game is an easy 8.5/10

This game has all the hooks! Charming epic fantasy music, a story that is curious. A cast of characters that are well enough thought out. I love dedication to the whole bit what would trash can value for food? Sentient tables and chairs being prideful and arrogant the rudix cude being a key to everything. So many time I am floored of the work the have done visually and story wise. I have not finished the game yet but I felt it deserved me praise. -Gameplay/ combat- Good 👍 it functions as it should be. A cross between crono trigger and whatever strategy RPG you like plus any FF Snes games battle system combo. I expected it to get brutally hard later down the line but...still fun. -Critiques- Several maps later in the story of the game have several places that haven't been smoothed out. rough edges of exploration that were clipping the character. thankfully they put in place an unstuck button in the menu which was nice. still plenty of weird clipping in and out of several different places for exploration and maps that they had created. The beginning of the story of the game and maps that you explore through were perfectly done. just the later to mid and probably the ending have all these constant issues. Nothing was really stopping gameplay it was just a little bit immersion breaking. All this to say for the price and time and enjoyment you get out of this 8.5/10 I am very happy to have it apart of my collection.

A rather charming adventure with great artwork & world building.

Kingdoms of the dump hat zwar jank und paar bugs aber dieses spiel ist mit UNLGAUBLICH viel liebe und charm gefüllt. Wenige games können die magie von SNES games einfangen. Hatte enorm spaß als secret of mana fan. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen!

Great game if you're looking for a story driven turn based RPG, I felt like there was a decent ammount to see and do in this game, and really felt I got what I paid for

Finally played this game all the way through, Its been a pleasure. I really like the story and the combat. Really easy to understand, but gets tough if you're not paying attention. If you really like JRPGs like chrono trigger/cross you'll like this. Great job on the music and the pixel art really enjoyed it a lot. The build customization is alright. Certain characters however I felt like got left behind in the late game. I loved having them around still. Certain areas in the late game without spoilers did feel a bit glitchy to navigate through, but its nothing a good reload can't fix. The last thing that I can't really say I enjoyed too much was certain side quests that required me to spend hours looking for 1 person for 1 item in a particular spot. The only real hints you get is if you read the items, but tbh it didn't feel like too much help. For me this a good 8/10 game. I despite some of its flaws it really good at surprising you and the boss battles were really fun and challenging.

Disappeared my save games and hours of progress. Not for me.
