I think it’s impossible to get more satisfying than this. I am now a sound effects enjoyer, they make monkey brain go tak tararatak tonk

While I was going through the game I knew I was playing a masterpiece. You can feel that a ton of work and love was poured into every single aspect of it. Genius concept, great music, great art, perfect gameplay design, perfect readability, fresh humor and dumb writing. It’s like they threw everything they had at this game, not a single joule of effort was saved.

It’s been a while since I last played something that is just unpretentiously fun. I miss this vibe,  no overcomplicated plot, no message, no existential drama, just a hell of a good time.

It’s one of those games that you can feel that even the devs were having fun with it. At least I believe you can’t get that creative without having fun and feeling comfortable to be dumb and silly

I really like the gameplay loop on this one. Managing your shop and progressing through the upgrades is pretty fun, but if the game was only shopkeeping it would be way too boring due to it being too shallow. Luckily there’s a whole other side to it where you go to combat to get items to sell in your shop. The combat also is pretty shallow and would be boring if the game was all about it, but luckily there’s your shop!

This loop is nice. I enjoyed my time with it

This game is so damn ugly and lacks a truckload of quality of life features, but I love games that present to you a bunch of tools and allow you to go crazy with them. I feel Siralim takes this to a whole new level, there are SO MANY different mechanics and synergies in this game. If you've ever seen a type of synergy in a game, Siralim probably has it too, and this sheer amount of ~stuff~ allows you to explore your own builds and make just about anything work.

Let me explain what I mean with the first build I’ve created: I started the game planning  a highlander build that scaled my defensive stats a couple % per turn, making me basically immortal after a couple of turns, I just had to survive long enough.

So I carefully chose a tank creature that takes 50% of damage of all sources to itself to protect my other support dudes, and paired it with many damage reduction traits, shields, and provoking abilities that drew aggro to it, and made it auto-respawn if it ever happened to die. Behind him I got a scaling creature with a trait that adds 30% defense to himself after attacking, paired it to a creature that makes any scaling buffs 50% weaker but spread them to the whole party, and added a bunch of traits that made him attack consecutive times each turn. Finally to wrap it all up I added a creature that alters the damage calculation and makes your attacks deal 50% of the damage based on your attack stat and the other 50% based on your defense stat, then added a bunch of traits that boost your stats and weakens enemies based on how many turns have passed.

Even the simplest of fights took ages to finish, it sucked, but it was glorious.

And that’s what I mean. Every dumb idea you might have, Siralim has the tools ready for you to go and make it happen, and I love it.

It was way easier than I remembered. It hardly offered any challenge, but the game is charming and creative. I love games where you change clothes haha

Played it with 2 players coop for the first time, and it was some 2~3 hours of fun. Highly recommend it

This one hit me about how games have changed. I know this is a beloved and very popular game, and yet, it’s just a little game.  There’s no ambitious plot, no emotional investment, no adhesion tactics, no monetization tactics, no over the top promises, no over the top premises, no grinding, no dailies, no collectibles, no fomo mechanics…. It’s just a little game that you boot up with a friend to have ~3 hours of good fun, then it’s over, and it was great.

It’s mindblowing that this game is free. It’s a well-made, well-polished and charming Vampire Survivors clone. I don’t care about V-Tubers, I only know like, 2 of them (and I hate them both), but the game is great and is a ton of fun. Creative character designs, creative items, challenging enemies, fun time killers.. It has it all, give it a try!

This game is genius, how can they make so many different puzzles from the same handful of pieces? This game extracts the best of what tactics games have to offer, no rpg’s waste of time, just… well, tactics and strategy with really unique units, team compositions, enemies and objectives. I wish it serves as inspiration to more tactics games in the future

My first impressions with MHR in 2022

Once again I’m revisiting MHRise, and it is just never bad. This year I bought a Steam Deck, and for a couple of months it was just a portable MonHun machine. I love this game, I love playing it with friends, and having it portable is just every man’s dream

I am so glad I had the opportunity to play it locally with friends. This is the type of game that will make you remember fondly of those afternoons playing videogames with your homies.

I am really glad they had the auto-critic to step back from the direction that Disgaea 6 was taking, the grind with the auto-battles was getting ridiculous. I like the Poltergas system and limiting the auto-battles was a smart move, but every Disgaea still have the same problem: Once you know what to do, the game is just insufferable.

It might be a me problem, but the fun part to me is coming up with the builds and problem solving the scenarios. Once I have a build in mind I don’t want to spend 1-2 hours setting each character up, farming every stat and unlocking every evility. This year I’ve learned how to code, and by using AutoHotkey I’ve automated all the farming on this game, and it STILL was too boring to set the characters up

Suggestions to improve the gameplay experience:
- Completely remove the Class-EXP system
- Make all the unlocked generic evilities always available, without having to create scrolls
- I like the Juice Bar for gaining stats, but its just way too bothersome to farm. Make the extracts like 100x easier to farm

The game should be about making strategies with your maxed-out units, not about wasting tens of hours maxing-out the units.

That being said. This one is one of the best Disgaea games, right below 5. I enjoyed my time with it

Feels so good to get excited for a game. I really enjoyed everything new that this game threw at us, it is a really nice breath of fresh air to the series. From the campaign mode, to the system changes and the new character designs. Love it, mwah

My only criticism would be: I don’t have much time to put in on it, also don’t have friends playing :T

Every Ace Attorney has its unbearable characters, but this one just has way too many. It’s one thing when side characters are gimmicky and dumb, but it’s nerve-racking when one of the main characters is an absolute imbecile all of the time. And on top of that the game takes setting on Victorian England, which has to be one of the most annoying settings there is. Fuck everyone wearing a tophat and smoking a pipe. The game fantasizes and idealizes England’s bourgeoisie and there’s also some really weird and out of place racist dialogues and disgusted remarks about poor people… I don’t really know if it’s supposed to be satire, most of it seems really out of place and made me uncomfortable.

Changing the subject, I understand that Ace Attorney has a set “formula”, but It’s kinda disappointing seeing a spin off that takes place in a completely different setting making all sorts of gymnastics to have its new characters fit into the old archetypes. It just looks like all the old characters are cosplaying and roleplaying. But on the other hand, the new characters that they did introduce are absolutely unbearable… So I don’t know if I would’ve wanted more of them.

I would never have finished this game if I wasn’t playing it with friends, I would’ve given up on the 2nd or 3rd chapter just to not have to deal with this shit.

But this game is not all bad, let me list the things I liked: there’s a couple of really good cases that set some intriguing mysteries for the rest of the game. I had a great time solving those. The music is GREAT. The character models are ~meh~ but the animations are cool, and they’ve thought of some nice new mechanics that take advantage of this. I think that’s about it.

I REALLY want to put this game one tier down… but the good cases are really fun and I had a blast solving them

I wanted this game to be more than it is. It was pretty fun figuring it out, but it’s just too short. I wanted more. More stages, more enemies, more weapons, more characters, more of everything.

I think that’s a good sign!

It was kinda disappointing playing this one as an adult. I remembered this game being BRUTALLY DIFFICULT, but I guess I was just a dumb child, because I paired up with a friend and we beat the game in 2 sessions. A couple of challenge stages were difficult because they were clearly bullshit fiesta, but nothing even took us more than half an hour to beat

But going past this break of my expectations, the game is actually super fun! Even though there are something like 5 minigames that loop over and over again, each time you visit them there are new rules that make things interesting and fresh. The only minigames we really got fed up with were the Tank and the Racing minigames, because there’s no possible new rules that would make those terrible controls feel fun. Luckily they don’t show up in every stage, I guess even the devs knew these minigames are ass

Also, the soundtrack for this game is unbelievably good. How could they drop so many bangers into a party game spin-off?? Unreal

It really feels like they made this game for kids, but the 90s are kinda deranged when dealing with kids. The game has a questionable and really stupid sense of humor that makes me uncomfortable if I imagine a team of adults coming up with it, but then I remember how much I laughed and how much I liked it as a kid, so I guess they were in touch with the 90s spirit alright.

The game itself is fine, the best thing it has going for it is variety. So many power ups, iconic levels and enemies, and even though it is not that interesting gameplay-wise, I got sucked in by its charm and “carefree-ness”.

I really miss this in today’s projects, as I played this game I felt it was made by a bunch of friends having fun. It’s not the best game nor the most pretty, but it oozes comfort and freedom. Maybe it’s just because it’s a product of simpler times, I guess the teams had other priorities in mind.

I really like games that have a very simple concept and then expand on top of them to exhaustion. Dicey Dungeons has the most basic and boring combat system imaginable but they fleshed it out with some very fun and interesting characters and mechanics. I had way more fun than I thought I would

This is a hack that rebalances the game and streamlines the most infuriating aspects of the game. The most important one is evolutions which are all completely rewritten, but there’s also a reasonable chance of finding most of the items and you don’t need to farm bits with Mojiyamon anymore because the game is not stingy and stupid! I welcome all the changes

It still requires you to follow a guide though, BUT, following a guide actually results in the expected evolution now! Since there are almost zero overlap between evolutions

I know this game is bad, but I love it and this hack gave a whole new experience with my playthrough. In my opinion it’s the ultimate way to experience this game.

I couldn’t give that much of a shit about the plot, political drama and tension between nations is such a bore to me. BUT the characters are great, the art is beautiful, the dialogues are a joy to read, it’s so good that many times I got out of my way just to pair characters that I thought would be fun together and read their interactions. I love it!

I have to take some time to praise the art direction, because even though all the characters are unique, have their own gimmick, their own personality, and most of the time an extravagant design, the game does not look like a clown fiesta. Very coherent shape language and very clever and economic designs makes this possibly the prettiest game on the 3ds.

As this was not my first run of the game I thought I could handle Lunatic mode. But after resetting my save file 3 times I came to the conclusion that this shit is impossible lol. The farthest I got was chapter 5 and it took ages! I was afraid hard mode was going to be too easy, but the game has so many options and variables that it’s pretty easy to come up with your own challenges and limitations thus making the game as hard as you want it to be. I had a blast with the difficulty.

I believe the only problems with the game lay within the interface and menuing. It really bothers me that you can’t know at a glance if a unit has reincarnated/ascended, you kinda have to know what to expect from the stats and calculate if their numbers are normal or higher than normal. Having to manually transfer unwanted items to your convoy; being unable to reorder, sort or release your units; item names, skill names, job names, all are really hard to tell if they’re an upgraded version or not;  these are some of the annoying shit you have to deal with while menuing. It does not break the game or make it unplayable, it’s just inconvenient and confusing to a not-so-experienced player.

Makes me SO GLAD to see a rhythm game hitting the mainstream once again. I believe there’s ton of fun to be had with rhythm games, especially multiplayer coop ones

But the game is in a bad state though. Right now at launch it feels like an alpha version. Way too few songs, the songs are way too easy (expert mode is as hard as a 2 stars osu!mania map), and the instruments have no gameplay difference between them. But I believe it will be updated with time, Fortnite-fashion. So I’m excited to come back to it in ~1 year and see what’s up

Fun game, looks like a simplified/dumbed down version of Siralim. But that can be good, since Siralim is just way too complex. I had a nice time with it, it wasn’t very challenging, but got me ~15 hours of relaxing gameplay that was very welcome on my vacation days.

BUT, I don’t know, Team17’s games always feel rushed somehow? This game lacks a ton of polish and quality of life features.
- The story is boring and uninspired, I started skipping it 2 or 3 hours into the game
- The metroidvania aspects are also uninspired, there’s no clever use of mechanics or any “AHA!” moments. Just basic chores which have as their only purpose delay your progress through the map
- The platforming is surprisingly tight? It’s so tight that it made me wonder if I was solving the platforming puzzles in the intended way. The rest of the game is so sloppy that the tight platforming looks like a mistake
- Combat should’ve been automatic. But this opinion might be my own fault. I played the game with a stall build, so EVERY TURN for me was the same: “heal my own party > stack DOTs on the enemies”
- Combat should’ve been harder. I’ve NEVER used any of the items I’ve collected throughout the map and I’ve NEVER refined any piece of gear or equipment. I just made a team with 3 early game monsters that worked with a stall synergy, and beat the game with the greatest of ease. The team was 1 Magmapillar and 2 Mad Eyes, but for the final boss I switched 1 Mad Eye for a Sutsune so I could steal some buffs and heal some debuffs, and that was it.

One of the biggest surprises from 2023. I have never seen a single episode of One Piece, but I’m having a great time with the card game!

This game’s design looks like someone took the most popular card games and fused them into one. The cards are not that crazy yet, since the game just launched, but there’s already a ton of possibilities and strategy that comes with only interacting with the game’s systems.

I’m feeling that I’ll push to play it competitively on 2024, but that comes with the biggest downside with this game: IT’S SO DAMN EXPENSIVE. Fuck this fake scarcity, print more cards you cowards IT’S JUST CARDBOARD. This makes me so mad, I really want to play the game but I just can’t build a deck without “investing” 1-2 months of my salary into it.

Because of this, I’ve been playing only casually at my LGS with home-printed cards and having a nice time. Print your cards, fuck these bozos

I played this abomination on my birthday. I almost punched my friends. I had a terrible time. But it’s a nice memory nonetheless.

As much as I want to hate on it for being SO UGLY and disagreeing with some of the art direction regarding pokémon designs, the game is actually pretty fun. The open-worldness of it is a big fat lie, the content is gated behind level thresholds so you gotta progress through it linearly, but, the three simultaneous storylines are such a breath of fresh air. All the quality of life changes are all super welcome too! They also actually made me enjoy walking, there’s always a nice variety of pokémon around, and you can farm exp while traveling. I think this is one of the better pokémon games released.

I’m not sure if I like this one, but I had fun. It’s the type of boring and repetitive game that would put me off instantly, but this one is somehow very entertaining. The characters don’t have much going for them but most of the game's systems come back to cooking at some point, also every character likes a different type of food making you think of someone every time you drop something cookable. I like this interaction, it’s wholesome.

But as in any other farm game you have romance options, and this is where this game starts to fall apart. The “bachelorettes”, as the game calls them, are all so boring and badly written, they all have a single gimmick each and I really don’t want to romance someone then have to hear them make the same joke even more often. I thought it would get better, that there would be a character development arch to them but nope. It’s just the same dumb punchlines but now they like you! There’s a couple of characters with somewhat interesting personalities and/or with somewhat of a character development, but they can’t be romanced. They’re either married or just not an option, not for my male avatar at least (oh yeah, no same sex relationships in the game too)

But since it’s an option in the game, I had to try marrying someone to see what it looks like:
The amount of work required to marry someone is unbearable. I decided to marry Clorica since she spawns right next to your bed when you wake up, so I could do a quick loop of “Wake up, gift Clorica her favorite food, sleep”. I did this for almost two hours and I got 70% of the way there. Then I googled it and it turns out you have to do this until 100%, complete 3 other quest lines and also craft an engagement ring. So I gave up and looked the event up on youtube.

The romance scenes are where the weird writing starts to get really apparent, it’s so bad that it’s not only uncomfortable but straight up creepy. My favorite moment is when your wife (Clorica) is in the hospital giving birth to your child (yeah, it also gets even more uncomfortable since the characters look like children) and when she comes back your character says something like “Wow Clorica this baby is beautiful, you are amazing!” and she goes “tihihi thanks! But this would not have been possible without you”. It’s so disgusting it gave me chills

If I had experienced these romance events during my playthrough I would have put this game a tier or two lower in this list, but it’s somewhat of a harmless game if you ignore all of the relationship aspects of it (which isn’t hard to do since you have to get out of your way in order to engage with them).

Cute horses weird me out a little, BUT, the game is sick. I really like everything about it, and it is not higher on this list just because fighting games take a lot of dedication and even though this game is great in every way, it doesn’t really capture my attention in any aspect, so I can’t see myself pouring the dedication it requires. But I would play for fun with friends for sure

It feels like a direct upgrade from Awakening. I didn’t realize how barebones Awakening was, and how many problems it had until Fates came and solved it all for me. It’ll be hard to come back from it, I feel spoiled.

I praised the art direction in Awakening, and now in Fates, it is even better! The beautiful cohesion of designs is now spread between factions which each have their own visual identity. Characters communicate their archetype perfectly and fit perfectly inside their faction. Also all factions fit perfectly next to each other. This is already a big feat, especially for a japanese game, but the game does it all while being super creative and innovative with a very dull and overused subject: medieval fantasy. It’s aesthetics and “sense of humor” are not exactly my cup of tea, but I have to praise it for being nothing short of great.

The writing is atrocious though. I started my playthrough kind of amazed with it, but as I progressed through the game it got worse and worse to the point I wanted to stop playing because it felt like a waste of time. It’s filled with overused clichés, it’s boring, it’s stupid and it’s bad. I hate it. But the character’s interactions are still nice and fun to read, which is a recurring relief over the playthrough.

Finally about the gameplay: this game solved many of my complaints about Awakening. Now there’s a button to check the sum of the character’s stats, making it easier to know their strength/ascensions. Items don’t have upgrades with cryptic names anymore, now each weapon is a trade-off of stats. And the most important: the exp system seems to be reworked. There seems to be a “desired level” for each chapter, so units under it level up very quickly while units over it gain almost no exp. This is awesome! It really forces you to use different units depending on the situation, you’re not stuck to only the high level ones. My dream would be for them to remove the exp system entirely but this is a step in the right direction.

What were before only random screens of dialogue on Awakening, now on Fates are a whole city builder minigame. Watching your characters wander around the city and invite them to different buildings is a way cooler and flavorful system to know them than random dialogue screens. I don’t know if I like this, it’s nice and fun for half of one game, but there’s THREE OF THEM. It gets so damn repetitive and boring that I ignored it completely after some point.

Even with all the qualities and improvements, I couldn't finish this game and I won't even try the other two. The writing makes me wanna jump out of the window, I can't.

Writing with my brain: This game is ass. The rules don’t make sense, the progression is bad, the story is boring, grinding for cards is dumb and boring, none of the systems (which are many) gets explained anywhere in the game, bosses are stupidly unfair, they have impossibly good decks, they cheat and your only weapon against them is the good old RNG.  Shit game.

Writing with my penis heart: BUTT, what it does not have in quality, or even quality of life, it has in flavor. This game has a mysterious atmosphere so good that I keep coming back to it even though it has those problems above. The card’s art is mysterious, the setting is mysterious, the music is groovy and creepy, there’s weird symbols and uncanny fusions, weird mechanics that your only hope to figure it out is by trial and error,  the sound effects are creepy and mysterious, the board is a stone slab floating in the dark void and the sounds it makes echoes everywhere. It’s crazy!!!! I love it

If you ever decide on playing this, I could not recommend the 15-card mod enough. Basically every duel you win gives you 15 times the rewards, cutting the insane grinding necessary to beat it to a tolerable amount. You’ll still need all the stars to align and the shine of RNGesus’ smile to beat it though, but it’s doable.

Aside from the obvious old game problems, terrible UI, terrible tutorials, nightmare micromanaging and navigation, terrible action feedback, I quite enjoyed my time with the game!

Here are some thoughts:

- Reward system is a genius idea for a “auto-game”, the implementation is also quite nice, double clicking your goals feels natural but they could’ve added that double clicking it more than once increases the bounty. My biggest problem with it is that it’s not clear if the units actually care about the bounty you’ve placed, sometimes I add a bounty right next to some units and they just walk around like nothing is happening. A feedback system for when units engage in actions that are related to a nearby bounty would be great. Ex.: destination arrows, speech bubbles, voice lines

- Building in this game is a bit of a nightmare. Buildings take too much empty space and the grid is not communicated properly. Having to clear the fog of war just to place your starting buildings is very annoying, the castle could start with a bigger cleared area

- I really like the positioning problems this game imposes. Properly organizing your buildings to optimize your units' pathing is a great mechanic and satisfactory learning curve. It’s also kind of poorly implemented, like, the marketplace is a very valuable building but it’s also a giant target, it should be a challenge to properly defend it but the buildings that need access to it are military buildings so it gets kind of naturally defended, defeating its challenge. But I like this and it feels on brand with “city building games”, properly placing your structures to better the logistics of your city. Also there could be roads, tons of possibilities with roads.

- Individually clicking buildings to build what you want should be a thing of the past. Upgrades should be universal across all buildings of the same type and buildings should automatically pump out their units without having to manually queue them. Maybe there could be a clear division between “money making structures” and “production structures”, and their production would happen similarly to a power grid on Factorio. Structures passively consume power in order to do what they do, and if your power supply ever happens to empty out, your structures will stop producing until you solve your power generating problems.

- The spell system is a nice way to introduce some kind of micromanagement to the game, but they’re all combat related. There could be some production related spells, like the “Chrono Boost” from Starcraft 2 which speeds up the production of a single structure for a while. What I like about SC2 is that the economy is a greedy game of risk vs reward, you can spend your resources on combat and feel safe right now but you can choose to spend your resources on economy, engaging in the risk of being weak for a while, but if you survive you’ll be much more powerful long term. Expert stages should require you to greed on every chance you get to keep up with the endgame waves of enemies

I really want to like this game because it’s funny and charming, the narrator is a gem and the animations are super cool! But I absolutely dread the gameplay, or is it the level design?

Every chapter has NINE stages (possibly 12 if you want to play the optional ones), and there's EIGHT chapters. The first and second chapters are cool, because you’re learning the game, but once you get it you pretty much have seen it all. It changes very little in terms of gameplay and difficulty between chapters, so in about chapter 4-5 I was bored out of my mind with the stages and wanted to complete them quickly to watch the cutscenes with the cool narrator. BUT THERE’S 9 STAGES TO BEAT in order to progress, and they’re easy enough to be a chore but hard enough to prevent you from turning your brain off. And I would have to beat 4 more cycles of 9 boring-ass stages. I couldn’t take it.

It’s just way too much, way too long with way too little variety. I was even playing with a friend and we got bored of it. This one is not for me.

This game has a bunch of really nice ideas that completely solve Digimon World 1’s most glaring issues and is actually nice and interesting to play. But…. I don’t know man, it just lacks the charm? Everything happens so fast that nothing seems meaningful, and I think that’s important especially on a monster-raising game.

When my mons die I didn’t even feel bad, because I know that it’ll be super powerful once again in ~10 minutes, and it will be even better than the last one because I have upgraded my town’s equipment

I also think I have a tendency to be put-off by cheesy anime vibes, the music, the plot, the weirdly sexual characters… it just feels bad

I don’t know. I suspect there’s a good game in there, but I’ll have to check once again in the future, when I have more patience

I mean this as a compliment: It feels like a great Newgrounds game. But it’s just not my cup of tea, I got 30 mins of fun out of it, and that was it

I love the artstyle but the game itself is just not fun for me. I tried it many times over the years, and none of them this game “got me”, so I’m putting it to rest. I really wanted to like you buddy

Every couple of years I have to play RO just to remember how bad it is. The game aged very poorly, it’s literally unplayable if you didn’t play it over the last 20 years, but it’s so charming and nostalgic that I keep getting back to it.

Every class has basically just one viable skill, the combat is clunky, the “content” is so barebones that modders could’ve done a better job (and did), the balance is non-existent since the game company is willing to put it all under the bus for a couple extra bucks… I don’t know what to say, it straight up sucks. Playing this makes me miss FFXIV so much

BUT its charm comes from the… “openness”? of it all. The game doesn’t take your hand to do ANYTHING, there isn’t even a proper story to follow. You’re just there. Exploring. Figuring things out as best as you can. The maps and the mobs are just mysterious, you hear tales of rare monsters or even rarer items that sound like urban legends. This feeling is kind of destroyed by looking it up on the internet and searching the game’s databases but it’s a nice reminder of simpler times.

I took a while to play this game only due to its rough presentation, it really looks like what you would expect from a free to play game. For fuck’s sake it even throws emojis at you to make sure you’re supposed to feel happy / sad. But despite its looks, it’s a pretty fun game! Also extra points for being F2P and not pushing a scummy monetization system. It still locks content behind paywalls, but that’s about it. A pretty honest pay to play as far as I explored.

I only played with the free decks, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the amount of possible strategies and synergies with the basic cards. There’s nothing mind blowing, it’s super simple, but there’s a nice variety. Some effort was put into it

Aside from the horrid presentation, I really don’t have anything to complain about… but… it’s kind of impossible to compete in the autobattler market when there’s games like TFT, which are great, beautiful, has a huge team working to pump frequent updates to make it always feel fresh, and it’s entirely for free. I cannot see myself ever wanting to play this over TFT

It’s an idle game: It’s designed to be a waste of time, and who would’ve thought that it is exactly that. This one brings nothing new to the table, except the fact that you can automate everything pretty quickly and it has numbers so large that it becomes meaningless very fast. Usually idle games win in the flavor, but this game has none too.

I think I went into this game with the wrong expectations, but there’s some things that make me irrationally angry about it:
- Why are the maps SO DAMN BIG? There’s NOTHING inside of them, just a huge wasteland laid out as a labyrinth for you to solve. And everybody knows how fun a labyrinth is to solve
- You can’t even ZOOM OUT to make sense of this labyrinth, you gotta just wander aimlessly until you memorize the layout
- They must’ve thought that wandering in these wastelands was fun, because you also will have to backtrack a great deal!
- Oh, and you will also have to find EXACT TILES inside of this labyrinth so you can recover your fallen allies or trigger events

I hate it so much.

The combat also does not make it worth it either. I didn’t play very much of it, but it does not look like there’s fun synergies between characters, abilities and equipment like Siralim does. It’s just a grindfest where you upgrade your unit’s level, so you can equip equipment pieces with a bigger number on it. Hella boring
I thought the game was going to be a complex numbers/skills mess since the game’s graphics are ASS. But they did not compensate the lack of art anywhere.
I might just have misunderstood the game, since I played it for >only< ~3 hours or so. But someone will have to get out of their way to convince me to play this again

Kinda sad to see what they did with Gunbound. This game offers no real challenge, it’s just a bunch of chores attached to a gacha system. It’s also amazing to me how they’ve managed to make a 20 year-old game UGLIER

I don’t know if I played this game on a bad day, but I dislike everything about it. Especially the music and sound, it drives me crazy. I can see potential for the gameplay being interesting, but it takes all the safest and most cliché ideas… I don’t know man, it's just dull and boring, and you have to pay for quality of life which is the laziest attempt to add “difficulty”. This one is just bad and annoying

I don’t know what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn’t a waiting simulator. Fuck this.

If you thought Forbidden Memories was strange and obtuse, you clearly have not played this game yet.

But I guess I was only able to properly play Forbidden Memories because I played it a shit ton when I was a child. This game works in a similar manner but since I didn’t play it that much before, I just couldn’t beat the first level. I honestly don’t know what should I be doing

I started with the Zombie deck on the Red team. On the first stage after you choose your deck and team, the opponent plays 2400+ attack creatures on turn 2, where I, from what I can gather online, can only fuse monsters up to 2200 attack points with my starting deck. Most of the fusions are ~1500 though, which makes it even worse. From turn 2 onwards, each turn looks like the following: I play a creature and pass the turn.  My opponent then destroys a creature and plays one of their own before passing, making the gap impossible to close.

I don’t know if I made the absolute worst decisions at the start of the game, or if I am just dumb. But this game was unplayable
