Twilight Epoch

Positives: 1. The environments I adore. They are dreamy, medium size, and there is a lot of variety! I would play this game just to walk around. 2. Fast pace combat. Dodge and shoot best you can and switch between your party members(weapons) is pretty fun. 3. Music can be sparse but when its there I enjoy it. 4. The story has a unique writing style which I did enjoy 5. Different weapons! You don't know what you'll get and they have some variety Negatives 1. You are going to get lost when you first play. 2. You are in it for the long haul. Each chapter (there are 3 and 1 prologue) can take 1 to 2 hours (if you are really fast, maybe 30-40 minutes but that is not happening on your first run.) and you cannot save during these runs. It is a game that is trying to prioritizes mastery of the levels. 3. I had a few glitches where I would have to restart a section but it was mostly walking cause all the enemies were dead. I'm happy they have a "warp to start" button XD. The runs are long but you get a good amount of content! I completed everything in 9 hours but I sort of won each chapter on my first or second run. The difficulty may be changed or updated in the future(from what I hear in the discord) so I won't comment much on that. I thought it was not that difficult but still took my attention. Apparently there is a sort of dynamic difficulty that will make runs harder depending on how many points your earn. I can't really comment on this but I'm sure it adds some replayability! Overall I enjoyed it! Embrace Jank, Embrace Indie, and Have some fun!

Game design literacy check. Has a free demo and is both very unique while still being a real game rather than some weird art experiment. Recommended, do expect jank though.

Yet another banger from chimp.

There really isn't anything else like this fast paced, narrative driven game that's a bit like a dungeon crawler if you put it on pure caffeine, made it a first person shooter like Doom, and poured in a hefty helping of bullet hell elements. That's already unique enough, but the fact it has a surprisingly deep narrative is another surprise, and Twilight Epoch is absolutely full of them. Be warned, however: The learning curve for the game's systems is very steep even with a tutorial, and the game doesn't get easier after that. This is a punishing experience, and while I personally love how challenging it is, it might not be for everyone. But for those this game is for, I recommend it highly.

I have only beat book one but this game is already highly worth the price. I have never played anything quite like it. A crazy hybrid FPS Action RPG with STG style runs, ranks and bullet patterns. Highly recommend. Also the game looks great on a CRT monitor and is the correct way to play this title

one of my favorite games ever i will write a more thorough review once i feel like i expirienced enough but just play it

Engaging story, great soundtrack, cool environments. Very impressive game

Very fun and unique game. The dev did a good job of making every aspect of the game's design work together as a whole which is rare to see nowadays.

oozing with style and unique charm
