Weirdlands

Man i really wish more people would know about this game. It can be a bit grindy, but that's totally okay (a specialy when last patch added difficulty to make game less grindy for those who don't want too much for it) I don't want spoiler too much about game, but everything promised in description are here. The only thing i can complain is lack of music, but eh. Not every indie game got banger soundtrack. But gameplay definitly highlight both in combat mechanic and world exploration with puzzles that involve being dummy that use whole inventory on random bush and discover something actually worked. Actually... i will spoiler one thing. Bosses in this game can join your party. Best part: They won't be nerfed and come in full power you encounter them and can be empowered even further. Have fun with that.

I've been following this game's development for a while now, and I'm so excited that it has hit 1.0! The artstyle is charming and Weirdlands is bringing Nintendo DS obscure RPG vibes

Im a bit surprised that this game is so unknown, its actually really good! Pros - Interesting world and very good story, told in an interesting way with New Game+ - Characters and dialogues are endearing and immersive - Nice little puzzles - Lots of stuff and secrets you can discover while exploring - There is an easy mode, it even has puzzle-hints (i didnt need it, but nice to have) Cons - Combat is a bit bland - Dying is common, but at least there are generous auto-safes - A few unnecessary long travelling paths/corridors - There are 3 or 4 soundtracks... half of the game is silent - Fishing totally sucks (at least its fully optional) Honorable mentions: - Overworld music - Bart and Moshie! - Information from books and notes were actually relevant and tied to the story - You can turn into a sentient cucumber Overall a solid experience, which im glad i... well, experienced!

This is a wonderfully fun little indie creature collector. The aesthetics are such a vibe, the music is great, the battles are fun, and the exploration really hits the spot. There is no handholding in this game, which I love. Running around trying to figure out where to go next and what I need to solve whatever problems I'm facing is great. The creature design is also top tier. I can't recommend this game enough.

Cute game, reminiscent of the Demikids games that were localized (see: SMT series). Sprites are cute, the dialogue is well done & the characters express emotion throughout dialogue through small changes in their facial expression, their posture, etc. Lots of love went into this game, from it's creation to design to flow. Certainly something I'll be playing more of very soon.

🇨🇵 Weirdlands est un Rpg remarquable, comme il était autrefois, fortement influencé par Earthbound et Pokémon Rouge Bleu. Vous êtes transporté dans un paysage cartoon, avec une multitude de personnages attachants et drôles, sans oublier le nombre de secrets cachés ici et là. Il a l'étoffe d'être un jeu superbe autant dans la durée de vie, que du coté narration, et le fait de pouvoir modifier son équipe ce qui peut donner certaines compétences en plus, ce qui donne encore plus de liberté au joueur. Le jeu est en Anglais alors que je ne le parle pas, mais la barrière du jeu vidéo est bien plus qu'une simple langue, mais oui si vous comprenez l'Anglais vous allez bien plus comprendre et apprécier le jeu. Il n'a pas encore été officiellement publié. Le développeur est toujours en train de finaliser quelques détails. Par conséquent, si vous appréciez les Rpg, ne perdez pas de temps ! 🇬🇧 Weirdlands is a remarkable RPG, as it once was, heavily influenced by Earthbound and Pokémon Red Blue. You are transported into a cartoon landscape, with a multitude of endearing and funny characters, without forgetting the number of secrets hidden here and there. It has the makings of being a superb game both in terms of lifespan and narrative side, and the fact of being able to modify your team which can give certain additional skills, which gives even more freedom to the player. The game is in English even though I don't speak it, but the video game barrier is much more than just a language, but yes if you understand English you will understand and appreciate the game much more. It has not yet been officially released. The developer is still finalizing some details. Therefore, if you enjoy RPGs, don't waste time !

It's charming and a delight. Artwork is beautiful, story is nice, combat ranges from an enjoyable puzzle about optimizing character moves to a satisfying power trip. Definitely pick this one up.

Full-on strategy battles and great puzzles. The art direction is amazing, the leveling up system being closely tied to the "money" really adds a new layer of challenge you don't see in many RPGs and the story really pulls you in. Haven't finished it, but I've been waiting for its release since the Demo days, where there was a "Superboss" at the bottom of the library. Excellent game for RPGs complitionists. 10/10, would recommend.

The writing in this game is phenomenal and charming, the world is PACKED with little secrets, and the combat system(s) are fun to get the hang of while rounding up spirits! "Dramatic changes in your second playthrough" really stuck in my head after I saw it, and yeah actually super fun to go through new game + with all the changes! Great game, 100% worth it!!

this game is cool as hell. despite the cavalcade of nostalgic influences (earthbound, pokemon, undertale, and point & click adventure games), it's a unique enough take both in concept and execution that makes it stand well on its own feet and a solid recommend for anyone who's even remotely interested in any of the named classics. i do have to stress the point & click influences—the game is purposely obtuse in how it delivers info and encourages you to check everything out and take everything in, but i don't feel like it's obtuse to the point of frustration. if you want a game that doesn't require you to engage with it on any meaningful level beyond Go To Obvious Map Marker -> Press Highlighted Button -> Do Thing, there are mountains of them somewhere else. if you want an interesting game that that respects player intelligence and creativity, particularly in the combat sequences, then weirdlands is it. for anyone having heard or complained about the 'grindy' nature of progression; weirdlands is no more or less grindy than its influences, and the dev has added accessibility sliders so you can tweak the experience to your preference. exp is dummy easy to come by if you just think for 2 seconds. weirdlands gives you everything you need to succeed; just try not to get in your own way.
