Signy & Mino: Against All Gods

Really cool game with a few flaws. The Good - Excellent combat system. Really addictive and fun stringing together combos - Gorgeous art style The Not So Good - Story felt a little half-baked. Some good ideas that never feel like they reach their true potential - Despite good character art, there are obvious production value gaps in the environments and story cutscenes It took me about 5.5 hours to finish. I prefer shorter games these days but I know others really want value in hours played. Either way, I think it's worth a play!

Love the art style, the approachability and accessibility of the controls and combat. Late game when with some enemy line-ups you can crush the whole set with a fantastically animated and flowing combo is just a thing of delight.

I enjoyed my time with this short and sweet little turn based RPG. If you're thinking of buying this one, you should know going in that it is quite short (it took me around 6 hours, and I was not in any hurry). But I had just finished playing Alan Wake 2 and this game was the perfect palate cleanser. The battle system is quite interesting. It had Paper Mario style combat but unlike other PM style indies (such as Bug Fables or Escape from Ever After) it evolves it in a pretty interesting way. You're still doing timed hits and defending on enemy rounds, but during the player phase you're strategically using your abilities to leave the enemy in certain positions so that you can press your advantage and execute long combos that take full advantage of all of Signy's and Mino's abilities. It's very dynamic and interesting if not a bit on the easy side. But the fact that the game doesn't overstay it's welcome works for it here. One thing that I will mention is that this game does wear it's limited budget on it's sleave. It's hard not to notice, but if that doesn't bother you, I'd give this one a try. At a budget price, this might be the perfect gap filler between those huge RPGs in your backlog.

Pairing with gods to battle another and the inward look on humanity. Fun little game. Has nice juggling combo attacks. It's a quick game

I love almost everything about this game. The developer, the publisher, the game itself. But I do have to add the same warning I've seen elsewhere. While 16 dollars is on the low end, I beat the game in roughly 4 hours while streaming. That means I was answering questions, stopping to explain things, doing silly stuff...it's just not enough content. I would highly recommend this game to any friend, but I do recommend it on sale. I reached max level and max skill tree in only a few hours as well and spent the last half of the game fully upgraded, so I just did the same combos/abilities over and over again. There is a GREAT system here, and the juggling is fun. The chip system is useless but also a fun idea! The skill tree is pointless but a fun idea. Everything just needs to be expanded a bit, and the pacing fixed. And again, even though these are negatives, the experience itself was very good! Very fun for what it is.

Wanted to love it. The trailers showed off multi-hit combos and nice sprites. I love dogs so a dog companion also grabbed my attention. But from the beginning the game just didn’t hold my attention. The plot couldn’t make me care and I didn’t like something about the style of the graphics outside of the sprites. The ground and shrubbery type of graphics I mean. I hope the dev does well and sticks around. I can tell they cared. I just wish I had once I booted the game up.

I love this game so much. It scratches that itch of action-command turn-based combat I've been missing since the Mario and Luigi RPG games (I know Brothership came out..., but I wasn't impressed). avoiding enemy attacks takes some practice but mostly is very easy to understand. The combo system is very engaging, giving it a 2d fighting game feel as you are stringing attacks together in certain orders depending on the needs of the combat. If the creators want to make another game in this series, I would be more than happy to buy it. I just have a few things I would want to see in the next game: 1. (optional) higher difficulty: I have played games similar to this, so maybe I'm not the best person to ask. Still, I was really hoping for some genuinely difficult encounters or bosses. I understand if you want to keep the games approachable, but maybe then have some optional content behind tougher bosses or areas. I never felt the need to use a healing item in or out of combat, especially when I got the parry-heal ability. 2. ...more game: I was sad when it was over partially because... I felt it was really short. I can see this concept taken much farther with more moves, more chips, and more enemy variety/statuses. I got to max level before the last zone, and I didn't even think I did any grinding, just taking combats as they appeared. Maybe instead of a sequel... this game could get an expansion? I know I'd also buy that. All in all. I love what this game is and is trying to do. I think one of the best feelings you can have at the end of a game is wanting more of the game, and that is exactly how I felt.
