This game is great. I backed it on Kickstarter many moons ago, following it through development (even though there was a very real fear that it may never materialise into a final version), but the end product is absolutely ace and exactly my sort of jam (a gritty, crime-filled JRPG). Yes, as of the time of writing, there are still a few bugs (PROTIP: save often), but nothing completely game-breaking and nothing that I'm assuming won't be fixed in future updates.
Had a wonderful time with the game. Not focusing on side missions I was still given hours of content and was have a good laugh the whole way though. many crashes and bugs but once they get fixed I will probably be playing it again to see the details i missed before.
Gonna keep this simple. This is a JRPG-style game with timed hits and defense. The story is very intriguing and makes me want to play to see what is going on. Characters are interesting too. Battles are fun. Only problem are the bugs. They've already fixed a bunch with the latest patch being 1.8. However there are still more bugs left, and I'm waiting for the game to be in its best position before I fully play it. A lot of effort went into this game and deserves more exposure. So unless the story and game takes a nosedive in the later parts (in which case I will edit this review), then any fan of JRPGs should check this out.
Backed this game on Kickstarter back in 2015. So very happy that it is finally out! Been loving the game so far. Gameplay is great, sound and graphics are stellar, and overall, Pinnacle City has such a good, dark feel. Can't wait to see more of the game.
Game had a lot of bug, had to uninstall eventually because I was stuck in the sprawl section and could not go out. Place was 100% bugged (moving around the map and spawning at random places, npc dissapearing, slow af ladders. Almost all the save files were corrupted, i gave up eventually...
Don't listen to any of those negative reviews! They have no idea what a good game is. It really disappoints me to see this game not get more love. ( Watch me play it at: https://www.youtube.com/@4Itchy4EVER ) This is a GREAT game! Would've been an instant hit if it were released back in the PS1/Saturn days. To sum it up; it's basically Shadowrun on the Genesis/SNES but even better in my opinion (more like the SNES version considering the combat system). Worth every penny and even though I'm not done with the game yet... I already can't wait for part II. Support this developer because I think what they made here is what the industry is missing. Great story telling without ideological agendas Great Gameplay Great Music and Sound Great Atmosphere Great Backgrounds Superb Art Style Good Combat System - Could've been a little quicker but I still love it Minor Complaints: 1. I don't really like the way the characters are drawn when it shows their actual picture. It's WAY too catoonish... needs grit for a game like this. Not a big deal. I'm used to JRPG stuff but I would've went with a more Sega Genesis/SNES look from the old Shadowrun games. 2. There needs to be a sound to indicate when you actually hit the dodge button at the right time. There's no way to know so you're not sure if you pressed it at the right time or not. A sound would help. Maybe there can be a sound for when you dodge perfectly, another sound when you partially dodged it... and another sound if you just got touched a little. 3. The combat could be a little faster. Buy IT!
A fun game. I like the ChronoTrigger meets LA Noir feel of the game and the story has me hooked! Definitely worth a go!
The bugs are finally fixed! I don't normally write reviews, but since this one is getting hammered for bugginess, I wanted to put this up to notify you that it's safe to play now. It's actually a pretty good game, especially for an indie game. I liked the stories, the characters were intriguing, the side quests were fun and interesting. It definetely captures that noir vibe and personality. The combat is hard in the beginning, but as you get your character set up it gets a lot more fun. I had to stop playing for more than a month because of a bug, but when I went back in, I actually remembered who the characters were and the story up to that point, which says a LOT about the writing because my memory is ♥♥♥♥. Overall, I'd give it like an 8, maybe an 8.5 out of 10. It's not the "BEST GAME EVER", but its unique and special and I enjoyed my 27 hours with it.
Super neat take on the genre. love it
Overrated basic on the rails Genesis RPG with a somewhat interesting story however in the year 2024 is gravely underwhelming.
