Strange Seed

改悪されてますね。以前までは稚拙な部分がありながらも楽しめましたが今回の海中アプデはストレスしかたまらない

I've recently been playing through both Voidling Bound and this game, and although Strange Seed is not as graphically impressive, the game is a real gem. Truly. I will go ahead and tell you, this is a pretty short game, but it also tracks your time in the background, which means if you're into speedrunning, this game has some replay value when it comes to that. Eventually you will hit the current end of the game, but I am hoping this developer keeps adding more to the game like the ocean expansion we just got. But despite its brevity and small scale, this game has a ton of charm to it. You get to build extremely goofy-looking critters and run around in locations which might remind you of maps from an N64 game, building your critter up to the point of being able to do ridiculous things by killing and digesting the parts of other critters, and overall the game is incredibly rompy and very enjoyable. Bosses present reasonable challenges, but you can overcome them either by skill or by upgrading your creatures, and later on you get access to fusing parts together to combine stats. However, the game does not let you merge two body parts that grant skills, so you've got to make choices about what kinds of skills you want your critters to maintain. Despite having a pretty limited number of statistics you've got to keep track of, the game has a surprising amount of depth to the way things like Jump / Weight / Speed / Stamina affect things, and it's very fun to optimize your critters for what you need somewhat on-the-fly. Combat is simple but requires careful attention paid to timing and directional facings, but after a little bit of practice you'll get the hang of it. And in some cases, it can almost feel turn-based. There's also a fair amount of stuff done through menus, and while a lot of people compare this game to Spore, it really has its genesis in a game like EVO: The Search for Eden for SNES. I actually like this game so much I wrote a guide for it, and if you're into collect-a-thon style platformers with music that feels very close to Banjo-Kazooie's instrument set, you're gonna have a great time. If you're thinking of snubbing this title in favor of a better-looking one, know that you are overlooking a fantastic game. Like I said, I'm playing another AAA-style game made with Unreal that's a creature collector, and this game still holds up against that.

Snake squirrel drone goes BRRRRRRRR

Very creative game where you mutate yourself by collecting body parts with different stats and ablities from the creatures you eat. You can then mix and match them by spending points to fine tune your creature. Different bodies do better at different challenges, so you always want to explore and find new animals to defeat. Parts have costs, however, so you can't just stack up all the strongest ones without a plan, especially at the start where you have less total points to spend, so there's some strategy involved. Theres hundreds of combinaions, colors, and patterns of parts so you can create all kinds of crazy mutants with any combo of skills and strengths to suit any playstyle, from ranged attackers, glass cannons, or tanky to just building a body specialized for exploring. You can also evolve to go under the sea and explore an underwater area. You also collect funny hats, so A+ for that. The game has a bit of jank and rough edges, but nothing major, imo. There's about 15hrs of content, with the devs looking into New Game+ or other gameplay modes in the future.

Fun creature "collector" and creature builder. I made the good decision to hold off on part combinations until the end game (last boss fight at The Crucible), and recommend others to do the same. Arguably you should probably not even use the part combinations until you defeat the last boss because I had enough strange fluid and crystals to buy more to have a completely combined and optimized battle beast which destroyed the last boss in less than a minute and easily took no damage. I'll probably make a less optimized creature from normal parts in order to experience the last boss more genuinely at some point. The game has a great formula and gameplay loop that is highly enjoyable. My only complaint is that I wish there was more content. Much more content. Hopefully we can get more content releases. Would especially love to see more races especially relying on flying forms. Maybe there could even be some kind of side challenge content for our supreme combined forms to get a real test. Combat, races, obstacle courses, map explorations, and so on. Maybe... users could create their own content for other users to play with. Would provide endless fun and content. Always sad to reach the end of a highly enjoyable game, but it's great when the biggest complaint is that I wanted more from it.

Имба игрушка вообще!) Даже не ожидал от неё такого... то что она меня затянет настолько. Но это реально прикольно иногда поиграть что-то в такое милое и глупое про зверюшек) И ещё она очень похожа на Spore (Но с водным миром, афигеть, прям как обещали когда-то...). Я обожал Spore с детства, часами мог её перепроходить, по-этому советую вдвойне) Так же очень интересно мир исследовать, всякие секретики находить и открывать что-то новое, какие-то части тела или украшения, или просто для коллекции что нибудь :^

Looking forward to playing more! Not played for a huge amount of time yet but have been following this one for a while. The creature creation is fun and looks like there's lots of opportunity for different builds. So far there's been a nice sense of discovery as you explore and unlock new parts. Ran great on my PC too and haven't encountered any game breaking bugs etc, so I'd recommend up to now!
