Pinku Kult Hex Mortis

I already had my eye on this game for a while since seeing an earlier build of it at MCM London. And after seeing it was out, thought I would buy it and give it a quick go this afternoon. However, couldn't stop playing the game, and went through it in a single sitting. That's not to say it's too short. I just happen to play the game for 7 hours straight until I saw the end. And I'm pretty sure there's more for me to go back and tick off. The story was great. Was thoroughly invested in the writing, liked the characters, and it's all paced so well. The artwork was excellent. Particularly the full screen portraits of the characters while talking. I love playing indie games, but that's one area where they can sometimes feel a bit 'cheap' as the artwork doesn't always hit the mark, but in this it's incredible (One of the screens from the game is now my desktop background). Also can't say enough good things about the soundtrack either which compliments the game so well. Would gladly have it playing in the background while working as it was so atmospheric, and never started to feel repetitive. From looking at the credits, it's hard to believe that the amount of content, writing, artwork, music, sfx ( I could go on ) can be achieved by just a couple of people. Haven't been this gripped by an Indie game in a VERY long time. Definitely Recommend.

This game is actually super sick and the devs put a lot of work and heart into the game. If you like monsters/monster girls- then this really is the game for you. The character you play as is even androgynous, so you can really kind of put yourself into the character, it's just a nice added feature. Plus, it's actually super cheap for 10$ (usd).

really nice

Yes.

This game was cute, it took me about 4 hours to finish. The paper cut-out design really didn't appeal to me, but the rest of the character art is lovely. Very colourful, with a touch of horror. The gameplay is simple, but does get repetitive near the end. Combat is not difficult, but enemies don't have a health bar and can one-shot you sometimes. I was annoyed at the final dungeon when I had to [spoiler] fight all the previous bosses again. There was 1 new one before the big bad, discount Draculaura who had no real presence in the rest of the game. [/spoiler] The central mystery was what made me keep playing, and the aesthetics. The plot itself is quite average, with a [spoiler] good vs evil, balance must be maintained for the cycle [/spoiler] type of thing. I believe there is another ending, but I don't feel compelled to see it. The game ends [spoiler] on a bit of a cliffhanger [/spoiler] and I do hope to see more from this developer. Just don't expect the world from this game. It isn't revolutionary, or the best thing I've ever played. But it was fun and killed some time. And what else can you ask for from games?

I found this game through searching the brand up as I actually owned quite a few of the T-shirts I bought in store. I was looking to find more designs to eventually buy at some point and on the Pinku Kult website I found the game and ended up adding it to my wishlist so that I may buy it at some point to play. The game is a unique lil RPG game with horror like elements sprinkled throughout it. Each chapter is pretty short and takes around an hour to complete. The pros. All characters have themes related to them and are also memorable with their designs. The combat is very simple and easy to learn within a few minutes. Areas aren't too complicated to explore and each area has it's own theme as well as enemies that relate to it. The art for the game is beautiful and I love it. I just love the general vibe and aesthetic of the game and I can see myself playing it again in the future as I want to see how certain selections affect a battle. The final boss fight as well was enjoyable and I found it challenging as I didn't expect the amount of phases we technically had. And now the cons. I understand that it is a indie game with a small team and I do take that into consideration with my review. If you haven't played turn based RPG games and don't know when to heal then it can be quite challenging as enemies from the get go do hit pretty hard and it's very easy to get KO'd almost instantly. The game felt far to short to me, Especially how we had so many interesting boss fights and for 3 of them I found myself not caring for them at all due to the fact that there wasn't any real lead up to their fight. Just brief mentions of the characters or appearances. It felt if they where removed, it wouldn't have changed much of the gameplay and story. In conclusion, the game is enjoyable and easy to play in one sitting and has an interesting story as well as lore related to Razore City. The art style is bright and colourful. The characters are memorable and well designed. For an indie game, it's very well done and plays well. Even with the few cons I had with the game, it is one I enjoyed a lot and one I plan to play again one day. The ending no matter your choice will be a cliffhanger, leaving the opportunity for another game to happen one day which I do hope happens as I'd like to see more to this little world.
