I feel like this would make a great mobile game. Maybe even some kind of AR project
the ds version ruled
Brandon Sheffieldâs game has a demo up until the 15th.
ughhhh flat arenas are so boring we already had the banner saga and it sucked
his aesthetic choices are not interesting either, this is DOA imo
As someone whoâs kind of tired of SRPGs, I donât mind the flat arenas - the goal seems to be streamlining the combat decision-making Midnight Suns/Into the Breach style and I feel like theyâre onto something here - and I do like some of the oldschool gaming things they fetishize (esp all the Persona 1/2 things).
But yeah, the Neon White-adjacent tone of Americanized JP popculture, the lack of atmosphere and friction with the world, the fantasy of urban horror being too abstract for me too care, UI/UX/font issues, words words words (most of them cliche and/or unengaging)⊠Iâve been cautiously excited, and still want to give a shot, but this kind of demo should reassure me that they know exactly what experience theyâre aiming for at this point of dev, and it mostly made me worried that they donât

I had no idea this existed. definitely the kind of dumb shit Iâd play if I saw one in the wild. I wonder if itâs any good.
