The Lonesome Guild

A charming adventure through a beautiful world that is hurting... and you and your friends are here to help it heal. I had an absolute blast with this one. The visuals are great, the music is atmospheric, and the combat--although fairly simple--can be fun if you just enjoy [i]slamming your head into something until it falls over[/i] (which was especially true with the late-game friend, Chaska, who hits harder and faster at the cost of being a bit squishy, because yes, everyone is different). In particular, Davinci can be utterly hilarious to use because of his [i]giant wrench-hammer attack[/i] and the accompanying vocal clip. There's a lot of different items to find throughout the adventure, including equipment that ranges from [i]the usual stat-boosting gear[/i] to [i]have a big boost to your damage, but no more critical hits[/i] to [i]if X character wears this then special things happen[/i]; on top of this, as you strengthen your bonds with the cast, they can learn new skills and even acquire passive buffs, and you can freely reassign the points for these anytime you're not in combat. Once you find a combination of characters that really works for you, it's fun to gear them up and make them as overpowered as possible (Ran, my man, you now have 169 Strength, that's actually nuts) and just... blow away everything that stands in your way. I think the game's strongest trait is absolutely its story (and by extension, the writing in general). I won't lie to you, some of these story beats hit me pretty hard, and I teared up a few times, but that just made victory against the loneliness that much more satisfying in the end. Definitely recommended for anybody looking for a reasonably chill adventure, as long as your heart can handle the story playing with your feelings!

这个游戏非常好，画风战斗Q萌，心情愉悦，更重要的是通过不同案例，对孤独的探讨和思辨恰到好处，剧本、台词都很不错。这段时间是我的低谷期，很幸运遇到这个治愈的游戏。满分！

Horrible, dawn out writing, but it's still a wonderful game. I'm loving the combat, simple puzzles, and tone/atmosphere. Highly recommend.

I thought this would be a game made for children based on the art style alone, but I'm delightfully surprised by the rich world-building and relatable characters. It's a nice little RPG with fun combat and exploration, with varied and likeable party members as well as NPCs. The world and and the story isn't afraid to tackle mature topics like religion, racism, autonomy, etc., which I find engaging. The side quests are a bit too simple though, most of them are just fetch quests with only one or two lines of dialogues. Overall, good game! Very much recommend!

Un bel gioco , dal lato artistico una perla, il gameplay riserva il giusto grado di difficoltà che serve a godersi una storia che dalla copertina è adatta solo ai più piccoli ma che invece si dimostra profonda abbastanza per tutti .

This is a very cute and charming game, if a bit buggy at times.

It's a cozy little game with a simple, easy to follow plot and story. The combat is engaging, actively encouraging you not to just mash the attack button until everything is dead, and the characters are all cute and whimsical lil' guys/gals.
