Sept. 2024

Still rather early in the game, but so far it's quite good. The combat system isn't too cumbersome. The characters interesting and the art style simply great. I highly recommend for fans of story driven rpg. After finishing it, I say this was a pretty darn good rpg despite being one on rails. The story was nice, but I wish you would have had the chance to interact and chat more with the NPCs who are part of the cast, maybe have a chance to have sgt, Faye officially join the team during the last act and have a chance to turn Branna to your side (poor brainwashed child soldier that she is). All in all, a very good indy game.

Sept. 2024

Honestly a very good game with a compelling story. There are multiple endings to be aware of. It isn't very long, so I'm not sure that it is worth it at full price, but on a good sale definitely worth picking up. The game is really easy. Near the end some combat sections can seem annoying as you will wait for each text block if you buff your whole party, especially with Ivan who gives each person 3 buffs. No complaints other than that! Considering playing through again!

July 2024

Let's get bad out of the way: Combat. And not even combat itself, but rather combat animation speed. It's slow, it's painfully slow. If you or enemy use buff, prepare to stare at the screen for next 5-10 seconds waiting for notifications to go through one by one for each affected person. It's especially annoying in later game, where there are mostly 3 enemies each fight, so get comfy waiting for each of them to throw buff and waste 30 seconds for some reason. Onto good things: Story is predictable but good. Really good. Characters are great, it was a joy talking to them and seeing their story develop. I really liked simple animation style, it never went too deep into colors (to make it hard to look at), it was cute at times, sad at times, and considering how "simplistic" it is, great job there. Granted, no idea what prompts which ending you get. I went through game normally, did all side quests (except very early one to gather some herbs), and got "bad" ending. Overall, definitely recommended, but there should really be x2 or x3 speed available for combat, or at the very least "show all notifications at once". Word to the wise: Avoid "Buff STR/DEF/AGI" skill. Or if you do use it, get ready for 12 different notifications to get displayed one by one with each staying on screen for few seconds. Guess that's what makes it balanced :P

I fell in love with this game a couple years ago thanks to the beautiful art style, and waited for it to be out of early access to buy it. First of all, I would not recommend buying it at full price, unless you are like me and absolutely stricken by the character design. It is a short game! That being said, I had an absolute blast while playing it. Some pros and cons: +Beautiful pixel graphics and illustrated art +Fun and unique character interactions +A lovely story -Confusing morale system -I wish combat was more in-depth, or a bit more difficult

Feb. 2024

Long Gone Days caught my attention a few years ago because of its excellent visual style, but I only managed to play it now. I'm glad I waited for the full release as it would have been painful to stop in the middle without following the plot till the end. Political fiction genre with a modern world setting is pretty unusual for a jRPG-style game, so it warms my heart we actually got an interesting story with lots of varied characters to befriend along the way. It took me about 12 hours to beat it and I had fun pretty consistently with only a few hiccups along the way (combat can drag a bit sometimes, morale system feels half-baked). The thing I appreciated most, although it's a pretty minor detail overall, is that in every country you visit (no spoilers) the locals speak their own language, so as a foreigner you have no idea what's going on until someone translates for you. It added to the immersion and made my inner language nerd happy. Long Gone Days is a hidden gem and I'm posting this review to make it a tiny bit less hidden. Go and play it.
