Reviews
The graphics are good for an indie title and the gameplay is smooth and responsive. The story is engaging and the characters are well-developed. I especially enjoyed the variety of weapons and crafting options at your disposal. If you like the genre, give it a try.
The game immerses you in a world of mystery and intrigue, the game's story is intriguing and keeps you guessing until the end. The graphics are simple but effective, with a clean, minimalist aesthetic that perfectly fits the game's atmosphere. The sound design is also noteworthy, with a haunting soundtrack that adds to the game's eerie atmosphere. In short, I recommend "The Protagonist: EX1" to anyone looking for a challenging and engaging puzzle game with a well-written story. It is perfect? no, but it's a good indie title for the price paid.
Trash
Turn based RPG set in the year 2133E. Contact has been made with an alien race and you wake up in an alien prison with no memory. Find your teammates and escape!! https://youtu.be/L4NEnt8kR8U
This review is from an actual playthrough. I feel like I had to start with that because the review section for this game is quite...strange. Anyway, Protag EX-1 is a good TBS. It can crash, softlock you (but there are tons of autosaves that literally can save you), and lagg after turns, but other than that it's pretty okay. There are 7 surprisingly big map in a space station, a decent story, and a very-very unique hand to hand combat IN the turn based combat itself. I never seen anything like this before, and I seriously think this could have been something special. But it's unfortunately not. The whole game feels like an alpha version of a someday great title, but at this point it's just abandoned. When the combat really starts going it's already over, like the game itself. The first few levels are slow paced, even for a TBS, and when you could just start to enjoy it with your build up team, then it's over. But hey, it's 10-12 hours and for a price I could barely buy a kilo bread at the bakery, who complains? Well, seeing the reviews many people, and considering it's not a one man project that I somehow believed during gameplay, it's ridiculously unpolished, but it's still a solid 10/4.
The graphics are pretty good, smooth gameplay, and the story kept me engaged. The controls are easy to learn. I enjoyed the first hours of this game, I will surely try to finish it.
