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.

Hello friends, Today I will review the game Athenian Rhapsody. This game is based on the same style that Undertale follows. If you never played Undertale, there are certain ways to play it. This game also has those similar ways to play it. Most of the game is surreal and weird. The player will meet many wacky individuals in the game to interact with. Each NPC has their own story and personality. The quirky writing and style of the game may turn off some players, but the game does have a story and several messages. There is also DLC coming in the future, and events that the developers release slowly over time which the player can download to play them also. Event Rhapsodies are rare, and the player must keep an eye on the newsfeed for this game to get them. Players can also upload and download their friends Rhapsodies, which are they game's story basically. Also, if the player is very patient, they can download the Munchkin Download. From the sounds of it, it takes forever and can fail. I personally avoided it as i think my pc would explode waiting that long to download it. Anyways, here is my PROS and CONS list for the game: PROS: - A wacky surreal game about adventuring in a land of dreams called Athenian. - The player can choose how they play, whether violently or peaceful. - Interesting NPC's that have their own personalities and weaknesses. - Fights are mini games, similar to the same system used in the game UNDERTALE. - Players can recruit random NPC's to help them with there adventuring. Every recruited friend even say different things when adventuring to different areas. - Multiple endings with different things can happen depending on how the players interact with the world and characters. - Players can save and give their Rhapsodies to other players and share them. - Event Rhapsodies that the developer releases to add more back lore or extra things to the game. Players need to download them like other players Rhapsodies. - Side quests that span the whole game world. - This game can work with a controller or with a keyboard and mouse. I played with a ZEN PRO switch controller. - Works on windows 11 OS. CONS: - Intro has no skip feature, which becomes annoying to sit there and wait for intro to fully play. If you play the game alot and have to turn it off and on alot, the intro can become annoying. - The graphics will not be everyone's cup of tea. They are strange and surreal. I believe the developer made them like this on purpose since the world is a dream world. - The weirdness of the game may turn off some players who want more serious games. - The game always starts in windowed mode. I wish the game remembered my setting of putting it in Fullscreen mode. Do I recommend this game? I will, but only for a certain type of gamer. This type of gamer would be one that likes indie rpg games, that are wacky, and yet fun at the same time. The graphics are weird and silly, and the game has many npc's with their own back stories and lives. They act alot like real life people with problems too. The world has it's own lore which the player can discover if they play the game fully. The player can even recruit some friends to help them thru their adventure. So yea, the game is weird, surreal, quirky, and silly. It was interesting enough for me to play it with all the weirdness.

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.

May 2024

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
