Nov. 2024

Let me preface by saying, overall, it is a pretty good game. However, let’s get this out of the way. This is basically an Undertale fan game. There are elements that feel like 1 to 1 copies , and that is fine. Undertale was a huge game, and it makes sense that it would inspire games heavily . The combat is solid, and it is mostly charming. I know some people feel like Undertale’s humor was forced, or “cringe” , but I always felt those people were just being joyless. However, AR kind of cranks the “humor” up to an 11, and there were moments where I was feeling what others must have felt about undertale. It doesn’t help that most of the characters get very little depth or things to do , so they basically show up, do some random wacky stuff, join your party, and then never do anything again. All that being said, if a wackier undertale sounds appealing to you, it is surprisingly polished , and there are lots of little variables and choices to make, so it is worth a shot.

this is a tough game to review ngl. i loved it, but i can see why so many people are turned off from it because the writing in the beginning is very VERY hit-or-miss. I found it funny most of the time, but sometimes i really wanted to roll my eyes out of my head. (Thunder Goober I love you but I'm also happy that I didn't save after I got IBS) if you don't like the style of humor it goes for, you probably won't like any of the humor, to be honest. but it gets better and better as the game goes on, both the funny parts and serious parts. the ending I got (basically the equivalent of true pacifist i think) was really, Really good. hit me right in the heart, right where it hurts. a lot of the ending is going to stick with me for a while. gameplay-wise, the battle system is like undertale everyone's already said that. i love how creative the attacks get, and the various ways you can interact with enemies (especially bosses) are all super unique. but it also feels so very, very wonky. in almost every battle, I felt like my hitbox was too big. some attacks feel undodgeable. there's a reason bullet hell games have small hitboxes, and I feel like this game just kinda messed up that part. chill mode makes things easier, yes, but it doesn't solve the underlying issue. also i never used it because i love suffering, apparently. I'm very mixed on the game. but overall, I recommend it - when the writing hits, it REALLY hits, its a great game, but I feel like it could be so much better. anyway, i would do anything for james.

Imagine a game that is inspired by Undertale, while clearly being it's own thing, and also doesn't shame you for killing people who literally tried to kill a child. Very funny, has a surprisingly chill outlook, and has a rabbit cowboy who strums a guitar and is the coolest. Download it now Cornball.

Another quirky indie RPG. Distinguishes itself from its clearest inspiration by having a cast of characters who are mostly unpleasant freaks, who do not necessarily develop out of being unpleasant freaks, that you are nevertheless expected to befriend and come to care about. Works far better than the demo led me to believe, though there are a few misses (Especially evident with Horatio, who I was clearly meant to have more fondness for than I feel like was reasonable given his actions). Some party members also feel extremely underbaked, on account of the fact that they largely cease to be characters once they join you. Not inherently a huge deal, but some of them (Girlcat especially) hardly have any time before they're put into your party and get relegated to dry commentary on the overworld and mid-cutscene interjections that everyone else ignores. Some stuff near the end of the game also seems to act like your party members have any form of dynamic between each other when they absolutely don't- and, look, I can hardly expect this short indie rpg to pull off a proper dynamic between a party of 13, but you can't just pretend like you established something that you never even tried establishing in the first place. Moving away from characters and to moment-to-moment writing, it's also pretty inconsistent. As stated before, dialogue can often feel dry and stunted, and the more down-to-earth a character's personality is, the more trouble Nico seems to have conveying it. Humor-wise, the brand of absurdist comedy on display can be genuinely hilarious, but it falls flat pretty often. At the very least, few gags are dragged out long enough to enter groan-worthy territory. Gameplay and presentation are both very solid. Spritework is a little amateurish but ultimately looks perfectly fine. Character designs are fun and varied. Bullet hell remains engaging throughout in spite of asset re-use. Soundtrack is banging. Not much more to say. Overall, A well-rounded and unique experience that deserves at least a little more than to be chucked into the ever-growing pile of wannabe undertales.

honestly, it wears its inspirations on its sleeve AND tends to be transformative about what it is referencing either with humour or something else really really good plus ACTUALLY very fucking weird
