Great humor and nice for learning.

More games like this would be cool

Ist halt ein Lernspiel: Humorvoll, überdreht und sauschwer.

Very fun! i love it!

Great game, thank you Dr Christian !

"The King's Request: Physiology and Anatomy Revision Game" is possibly one of the worst ideas I've ever seen on Steam, and that's after over 12,000 reviews of video games, some awesome, almost all the rest terrible. And yet somehow this is one of the worst. In no small part because it's an "asset flip" made from the RPG Maker construction kit (so easy a child can use it, according to Kadokawa), and of course using a bunch of asset flipped stock RPG Maker assets. RPG Maker itself being a terrible game engine, that doesn't support modern gaming resolutions, looks like crap and plays worse. Now, RPG Maker is usually used to make ultra cringey high school anime club dropout fanfictions about the developer and his imaginary girlfriend/waifu, but today instead we're trying to use RPG Maker to make a biology quiz, and I don't know how much worse that is. The idea of using video games to test any academic subjects is kind of cringe already... combining that with the aforementioned anime club fanfiction really does seem so much worse. This features really godawful, lazy pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter (probably just because with RPG Maker it's difficult to do anything but just slap out the existing stock assets and tiles, which is what the developer did here). What matters is that this looks bad because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at less than 100 concurrent players, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.
