I don't know where I got this but looking through my library it seemed like a basic platformer so I gave it a shot. On first load the menu did not appear and the screen scaling seemed to be off. Upon restart I was able to start the game. There is an endless amount of cutscene yapping at the start of the game, I pressed 'A' hundreds of times. After the intro you're in a hub area that has tons more optional yapping and some mandatory yapping where you have to get your employee punchcard to escape. Then there's finally gameplay and it turns out it's turn based combat filtered through a very very slow rhythm game - the worst possible combination of gameplay elements I can imagine. I tried to wade through it but I just couldn't take it. I alt+F4'd out of the game and joined the 25% of players who did not get the achievement for killing the first enemy. It is absolutely cuh-razy to me that games are allowed to have a 'Very Positive' rating on steam when 1 in 4 people [i]quit the game[/i] the instant they are exposed to gameplay.
Cara esse jogo é simplesmente cinema, pelo menos pra mim, muito legal e divertido. A historia é muito bem elaborada e distribuída pelo jogo, então leia bem e tudo faz sentido, recomendo d+
Your shield breaks and disallows blocking all together until you buy another one.
second time i buy it, i adore this game
A 2D Platformer with RPG-esque combat and more than a few mechanical nods to Paper Mario. Has some interesting ideas, but the combat is painfully slow, the platforming is sluggish and bland, and some of the areas are seemingly designed to make navigation as frustrating as possible. 5/10
I like this game.
Overall a very lovely game. One of the best indie games I've ever had the pleasure of playing. It scratches the paper mario itch 10x better than bug fables, and is criminally under-rated. (Haven't played escape from ever after yet) The music is lovely. Admittedly, the chill and the ambient tracks are much better than the bright and peppy ones. The grassland area theme is a bit overbearing and dull, and the jungle theme isn't my favorite. But overall the music is absolutely wonderful. Characters are great. Stitches is an amazing and funny villain. Sword companion I understand people finding annoying at first, but its necessary for them to have character growth. Don't let negative reviews deceive you, if you have any modicum of patience you definitely come around to them by the end of the game. Also [spoiler] the funny butterfly is good. [/spoiler] Story is also wonderful. It doesn't have to be complicated to be good. It has more complexity than the first two paper mario games, maybe less than super paper mario, but that's fine. The artstyle is wonderful. My only complaint is [spoiler] el salsarissimo [/spoiler] looks extremely generic. Other than that everything is lovely. The gameplay is wonderful. The combat is some of the best of any RPG I played. Its engaging but isn't extraordinarily difficult either. It strikes a great balance. The platforming is very fun. Negatives: The ice skating minigame is kinda bad, but it isn't a huge deal. Apparently it isn't programmed correctly to account for different controllers. It definitely messed me up and I thought it was just a steam issue the first time I played. But no its just agnostic to your controller apparently (I could be wrong, the minigame isn't that good regardless). There's two small bugs. Sometimes the camera randomly pans up when talking to enemies. Its weird. Also there's a softlock area you can fall into and lose progress. The one I know of is in the dark maze. I really wish those bugs would be patched but it seems unlikely. There's other things like being in a falling state when jumping on the edge of a moving platformer, or the collision being weird with the portal floor panels, but they don't cause actual issues and are more funny than anything.
