REPLACED

全体的に惜しい作品 グラフィック・世界観◎(部分的にだが)ドットの3Dが珍しくていい味出してた。 ストーリーは刺さらなかったが、刺さる人には刺さる…かも？ 戦闘シーンの操作感が難しかった。

I am having a great deal of fun with this game.

I love the general vibe of this game. They nailed the retrofuturistic 80s feeling. The scenes are well designed, art is cool, and the 2.5D setup is great. I especially like the way the camera 'effect' works, moving along with you. The music is also great, it goes great with the aesthetic. Combat feels a little clunky at times but there are definitely some interesting mechanisms. It is not as irritating as I thought it would be to have a gun that you can't actually fire very often. Platforming is not as precise as I would like but this is coming off a bunch of Silksong so maybe that has me biased. Nothing innovative there but nothing terrible. The world created here was really cool and the basic idea behind the plot is awesome, but the writing was unpolished. It kind of feels like someone spent a ton of time on world-building, writing the history and giving hints through all the things you can scan, but when it came time to write the actual plot and lines they rushed through that part and that was a bit of a letdown because there's so much promise in it. It's a great story but it could have been told better. Anyway overall, if this company made another game I would buy it, so that's a thumbs up from me.

Inicialmente eu me interessei pela arte e conceito cyber-retrofuturista, uma expectativa que se concretizou além do que eu imaginava. A gameplay é envolvente e combate fluido, o que me prendeu ainda mais no final. Os personagens são simplesmente impecáveis, com cada um tendo uma personalidade bem definida, movimentação corporal humana que pareciam pessoas reais em cena. Fico triste que não tenha durado mais, mas ao mesmo tempo fico feliz que a história tenha fechado perfeitamente sem se deixar arrastar de mais. Com certeza recomendo que se deixem levar e experimentem REPLACED. Esse jogo é mais uma das evidências de como um jogo consegue ter tanta vida quando feito com amor, e só vejo isso com frequência em jogos Indies.

great history and gameplay mechanics i hope this estudio make more games

Worth it!

A great experience overall due to the stellar art and art direction, music, story and vibe. Going through the story with the protag constantly growing and changing its perspective is interesting. It's story is unfortunately realistic as I can see this situation playing out in another 20 years (without the supersoldier "hero" of course). Combat is overall very fun especially when you get into a flow and I'd honestly recommend playing on hard as it's not very punishing. Might have a few quirks that can be annoying but that's mainly due to the animation commitment and you not being able to do what you want immediately. The platforming will be what gives you the most deaths by far. It's fairly weighty and momentum is relevant, along with the animation commitment, can make it feel slow at times but, as with combat, when you get into a flow it's very enjoyable. Highly recommend you give this one a go.
