Great soundtrack and vibe to this game. Wasn't over complicated and was fun to just sit back and play. Overall was alot of fun!

I think CDN$ 8.79 is worth the music alone the game is a bonus. With that said it was initially released for iOS devices. Is it a short game? "yes" Is there combat? "Kinda but it's slow" What's it like? "That you are playing/watching a music story with lame hipster dialog" What stands out? "that it fallows the moon cycle, so it can be a waiting game if you don't want to cheat. Can I beat it in one sitting "Sure, but it's an IOS game meant to in many sittings Also moon cycle makes you wait." I enjoyed it when it came out, still listen to the soundtrack good for table top role playing games. Would Recommend.

I've always liked this game since it first came out. It's ... weird. A bit slow, but it has a very unique charm. I would categorize this as one of those games, where you need an open mind to experience it. You will not find a story like Undertale, or the action of Hollow Knight. I'd describe the experience more akin to watching a musical, depicting a strange world, and the hero doesn't really know to make sense of it and following one step after the other.

Sword and Sworcery is an interesting game to come back to all these years later after I initially played it on mobile when I was a child. On the one hand, the graphics and soundtrack are still beautiful, and overall I would say I enjoyed the experience- on the other, it's MASSIVELY dated in some places. Some of the lolsorandom and early 2010s-era hipster humor dialogue makes me want to actually die, and though this can't be helped since it was initially designed for mobile, some of the moment to moment gameplay can be a bit dull. Fights are laughably easy save for maybe the third Trigon and the puzzles can be solved by clicking around enough- though depending on the person that might not be a bad thing since it allows you to focus on experiencing the story more. It's also very short, taking me just 3 hours to 100%, so for $8 it is a slightly steep price... but honestly the presentation is good enough that I can excuse it in this case. Overall I'd recommend it, just be aware of what you're getting into. It's a 2-3ish hour game from 2012, and in some places its age really shows.

May 2024

One of my favorite games of all time. The soundtrack is absolutely incredible. The story is interesting and a little vague, but it adds to the intrigue. Also love the pixel art for the game and the little hidden clues and easter eggs.
