Pale Coins

Controls are very clunky. Combat is tedious and boring. Was hoping for something like Drova and got... whatever this is.

This game is beautiful.

Good but short and unfinished. Lots of interesting items that the dev acknowledges do nothing or are just lore items. The game is missing what looks to be 3+ areas. You quickly will get too strong for anything to be a challenge but the game is still fun. The level design is pretty boring sometimes. Lots of square shaped rooms. But then you find something interesting like an underground area you have to grappling hook to get around and surely there's a boss at the end but no, nothing. Unfinished.

Finished the game after 10 hours and this is one heck of a gem!!! If you like games like Gothic and Drova, this will be awesome for you. It's a bit like Drova meets Zelda. It has beautiful 2D Pixel graphics like Drova, but cuter, more Zelda-like, a bit more randomization in items and map than Drova and it is smaller and hence a more contained pleasure for a weekend. Leveling is fantastic, difficulty hard but fair and all systems work together incredibly well. A big thanks to the dev for making this and my sincerest thanks for allowing me to play a necromancer in Lich robes who vaniqushed his foes by siccing an army of 20 and more skeletons on his enemies. BIG DARK FUN :)

I marked this as not recommended not because I didn't like it, I actually did quite a bit, but because the game leaves a very unfulfilled taste in my mouth despite me liking it. Pretty much everything about the game is "fine". Graphics are good, nothing groud breaking. The world map is small and not really full of a lot of things to explore, but it's serviceable. The combat is ok and could be great with better controls. The equipment system is pretty standard to anyone familiar with ARPGs. And the difficulty is pleasant without being too easy or too hard. Where it falls apart are the details. The story is basic and not particularly well told. But the bigger issue is just how small the world feels. I don't get the sense that people exist here, everything just screams "video game". Generic NPC text is bland and unimaginative except for the two guards in the first two camps who need to guard animals. Main NPCs are mostly just there to give exposition and quest dialog except for Jesse, he's fun. And there's really nothing to FIND, nothing to SEE, nothing to EXPERIENCE other than the missions. The quests themselves are also very standard, there are a few nods to player choice but most things just have one outcome. Worst part was the ending. I expected the final area to actually be the start of the third act. But instead the final boss just appears, no fanfare, no real setup, no questions answered or interesting ideas presented. Just "thanks for playing". I bought this game for 7 dollars, I got 7 dollars of entertainment out of it. I finished and now pretty much the whole experience will exit my memory never to return. There was nothing of much interest here, nothing to inspire me, nothing to excite me, nothing to make me want to think about that again. It killed time, that's about all.

Cool game on my steam deck, had a lot of fun with it. Only did one playthrough but I appreciate the NG+ option! I look forward to future updates, game has lots of potential!

Шикарная небольшая приключенческая игрушка на пару вечеров. Я бы назвал это коузи приключением. Игра не требует от тебя напряжения и пота. Ты просто потихоньку исследуешь мир, загадки, квесты и тд. Сюжет скорее цепляет не своей глубиной, а маленькими шуточками и процессом исследования, т.к. тебя не ведут за ручку, не тыкаю маркерами на карте куда бежать, это позволяет погрузиться и самому немного поучаствовать в этой небольшой истории. Из минусов сломанная экономика и баланс, после определенного момента становится слишком много денег и очень перекаченный персонаж, при том что до конца игры ты даже одну ветку умений не успеваешь прокачать, ну а денег у тебя миллионы сразу как только находишь определённого НПС в городе. Второй минус что игра как по мне ощущается не законченной, основной сюжет вроде завершен, но остается мысль что сюжет не полон, какие то тайны могли быть побольше/интересней/глубже и тд.

Super spiel, Gothic-Like im Kleinformat. +Verschiedene Lager +Viele Skill/Buildoptionen +Waffenvielfalt +Atmosphäre +Worldbuilding +Erkunden Der einzig Punkt wo man eventuell nochmal dran schrauben müsste ist das Gold was man vom Sammler erhält wenn man Gegenstände für die königliche Sammlung "spendet" Dort bekommt man so viel das man quasi die ganze Spielwelt leerkaufen kann
