Linked Worlds

Absolutely loved this. Down below I write why I found it so special. Otherwise, I recommend it a lot: really fun, challenging, and has a great story. By far the two gameplay aspects that stood out the most are the combat, which requires planning at all times (you can easily get cooked by a gang of amoebas if you don't think ahead), and the time mechanic which completely changes the dynamic, pacing, and player's perception by changing essentially nothing in the game. [Mild spoilers below] But what I loved the most is that, at its core, there's something really moving about selflesness and the selfish nature of sacrifice. Near the end of the game, ready to face the final boss and eager to do it as early as possible to prevent it from growing stronger, I stumble upon a kid who lost his cats and needs me to find them. I give it a try but, after finding a couple, end up giving up because it's a really time consuming task. The clock is ticking and the final boss only becomes tougher with every passing day. So finally, I move on to finish the game and get the bad ending. The cats didn't have anything to do with that outcome and had everything to do. In the end the combination of story and mechanics manages to communicate really well a reflection on how real heroism comes from finding space for small acts of kindness, having the strength to be there for others, and fundamentally having the will to live, especially in the face of a greater threat. Had I explored and engaged with the world a bit more instead of fixating on completing the objective at all costs, even if that meant the creature would've grown stronger, things might've gone a different way.

A *VERY* cool CRPG/JRPG hybrid! I see myself pouring quite a few hours into this as the game allows us that due to having the option of moving quickly or taking our time (story-related reasons.) Really clever and slick RPG, has some awesome ideas that I haven't seen done before and some advanced type of systems that the graphics may not show at first glance. Definitely recommended, great works guys, and thanks for the great RPG!

fun, challenging game. I liked the grid-based movement system, It's a departure from the usual turn-based combat, injecting a sense of strategy that elevates the overall experience. Trully enjoyed the customization offered by the game with the abilities

Very cool game so far, the combat is simple but still very fun to do and to figure out the optimal way to deal with groups of enemies. Also the skill tree is realy nice to mess arround, since you can change what skills you have selected at any time (outside combat) you can freely check out any ability without getting stuck with it if you dont like it later.

Buenísimo el juego! Es super original en cuanto a sus mecánicas y en las formas que podés personalizar qué habilidades posee tu personaje Albus. Encima está más barato que una Coca!

Excelente. Muy interesante la propuesta. Muy pocos minutos in-game pero todo se ve muy atractivo. Tiene esa nostalgia de los grandes clásicos. Corriendo perfecto en Steam Deck. —- Vuelvo con 5 horas de juego. Todo lo que prometía cumplió. Súper atrapante pero al mismo tiempo relajado para avanzar. Muy bueno 10/10.

Al día de hoy, uno de los juegos que mas disfrute del 2023. Con inspiración en la saga Final Fantasy, pero con cosas propias que lo hacen muy divertido. Y con una mecánica de tiempo muy interesante y bien aplicada Gran juego Argentino!
