The Edge of Allegoria

Wir spielen Bob. Bob hat vor ungefähr 1.5h Stunden Spielzeit entschieden, etwas aus seinem Leben zu machen. In dieser Zeit hat Bob den jemanden getötet, der nur das Beste für sein Volk wollte, einen armen Mann um seine Ehe betrogen ohne etwas dafür zu haben, einen Goblinkopf und eine Nymphenbrust abgeliefert, sein Haus verloren, eine Gottheit getötet und gelernt wie man anderen effektiv die Ohren abschneidet. Außerdem hat Bob mehr oder minder legale Rauchwaren von seinem besten geklaut. Sei wie Bob. Zock dieses Game.

Decent JRPG with great nostalgic values for Gameboy / Pokemon fans. However, it didn't hold my interest due to barebone mechanics. Swearing and self-referential humor which I found to be droll that still got few chuckles out of my old chubby ass..

Top Story und Dialoge. Ausrüstungen kann man durch das verwenden in Kämpfen meistern, wodurch die Attribute permanent zugerechnet werden und man neue Ausrüstung und Waffen tragen kann. Das ist das Hauptfeature des Spiels. Ich finds gut, dass das ganze auf Schwarzen Humor aufbaut und somit eine Parodie zu den klassischen JRPG's darstellt, welches in der Regel sehr primitiv und kindisch gestaltet ist. Eine sehr wilkommene Auffrischung. Dennoch kann sich das Spiel nicht allein durch den Humor tragen, es wird sehr sehr repetativ und langweilig, da Abwechslung und Motivation fehlt das Spiel durch zu spielen. Mehr als 7 Stunden packe ich einfach nicht, dafür ist es einfach zu langweilig. Schade eigentlich bei dem Potential.

The gameplay is a blast and you can sort of build out your character how you like. I love the art style, even though I don't usually go for the monochrome thing. There are plenty of secrets for old school RPG fans. And a lot of the writing/theme is funny, I just didn't jive with the pot humor, but I know that's a me thing. Personal tastes may vary with the humor, but overall, play the demo and if it seems up your alley, give it a go!

I enjoyed my time more than I expected to. - Vadd

Great fun game. enjoyable experience so far.

10/10 game calls enemy Gorgon not Medusa using race name not given name

El juego NO está en español de España, está en español de "Latinoamérica", cuando en esta página dice lo contrario. En fin.

Only people with an IQ high enough can truly appreciate this masterpiece. The game is very deep and makes you question many things. Strong recommendation for every scholar out there that is seeking for a challenge.

I’ve been playing for six hours now and I think it’s an incredible game. I’m enjoying it as much as I did back in the 90s with my Game Boy. I love the gameplay, especially how altered states affect the player, combat and the map. I also love how the map, weapons, pixel art, animations and combat are all put together. On the subject of combat, if I have to say one thing, I think it’s, from my point of view, unbalanced. Obviously, your level in battle matters, but I’ve found myself in situations where I’m 10 levels higher than the enemies, and I’m still dealing the same damage, and they’re still dealing the same damage to me... I think that if I’m several levels higher, their health points should just drop to zero. This did spoil the experience for me a bit at the time, but nothing serious. Another thing worth mentioning is the humour. I’ve seen comments saying it’s a bit ‘negative’. In my case, I grew up watching all sorts of films and series in the 90s and 00s, so I’m used to it and don’t find it that ‘heavy’. In fact, over the last few hours I’ve come to think it’s very original and daring, as I believe it’s aimed at the audience of that era. Would opting for a more traditional narrative perhaps attract a wider audience from the younger generations? But it would lose its essence. PS: I didn’t see what would happen in the first castle coming, not even remotely, ha ha ha.
