About Maliki : Poison Of The Past

In the near future, humanity is teetering on the edge of extinction, subjugated by the fearsome Poison, a plant monster that alters the space-time continuum. Led by the enigmatic Maliki, a handful of temporal survivors have joined forces and are coordinating their efforts from the Domaine, a haven outside of time that is so far safe from the threat.

Play as Sand as you travel through the ages to repair the continuum. Use your Chrono Pack to manipulate time, fight the monsters that have infested past worlds alongside Becky, Fang and Fenimale, a wacky and slightly magical band of characters.
Wage strategic battles altering time to trigger devastating joint attacks with your teammates. MALIKI: POISON OF THE PAST is a fantastical odyssey with great depth, offering a surprising mix of roleplaying, exploration, temporal riddles to solve, and turn-based combat.

Rest and prepare in the Domaine, take care of the Thousand-Root Tree that protects it from the monster, harvest, cook, improve your equipment and send your hero into the bisections of time with every more powerful and wacky accessories.
In Maliki: Poison of the Past, you'll find a universe full of magic, a family of endearing characters, and a story full of nuance and emotion, all of which carried by a sharp wit and satisfyingly original anime visuals. Bring harmony back in this unforgettable ecological fable!


In a world where defeated humanity clashes with invasive, vengeful natural forces, a small group of colorful adventures struggle to right the world's balance and save their home. But who is Poison? What is Maliki hiding? And can we pet the cats?

Use an original mechanic in turn-based combat: time manipulation! Alter the course of time to create powerful combos with allies, send your opponents into the past, and link your attacks by sliding them toward the future!

Between sessions exploring time, the Domaine is the perfect place to recharge. Develop your peaceful haven: plant, harvest, cook, craft, and take care of the Thousand-Root Tree holding back time!Thanks to the combined talents of graphic novel greats and experienced video game creators, MALIKI: POISON OF THE PAST offers dynamic graphics with a tang that embody a marriage between French visual culture and Japanese chibi.

The graphic novel series Maliki is a touchstone for many readers. It's making its first incursion into the world of video games and opening a door to easily enter its delightful universe.

The boss fights are too difficult and frustrating past a certain point.

I'm leaving a positive review to support the developers. I like supporting developers...but I would sadly not recommend this game. I was lured in by the visual design and time travel setup, but it really missed the mark in its execution. Pros: - cute environments. Sort of toy box vibes, reminds me of Maplestory - pretty fun puzzles with each party member offering a different mechanic for solving them. - the combat has a few unique ideas with shifting around turn order - fairly bug free Cons: - the story is not good. It's told entirely through recaps of events that you weren't present for, or aimless progression driven by the line "I don't know why we're here, but lets hope something happens." - The game clearly expects you to have read the webcomic its based on, which is fine so long as it's stated anywhere in the steam page (it is not). - combat is absurdly difficult. enemies hit too hard, items and healing skills recover too little, you're always low on TP, equipment upgrades are useless, and it kind of feels like everything was designed to punish you. This would be fine except this is clearly a story for children, so who exactly is this game for? - Assets are reused so frequen…

Le jeu est un coup de cœur absolu ! Pour moi, qui donne une grande importance à l'histoire et la musique d'un jeu, j'ai été servi ! La simplicité du gameplay sert à son accessibilité et permet de se concentrer sur la découverte et l'exploration des zones. Autre bon point, on peut parfaitement se lancer sans connaître l'univers de Maliki, le jeu nous le fait découvrir à petites doses sans que ça soit indigeste. En somme une petite pépite qui n'a pas à rougir face à ses concurrents et qui mériterait largement de se faire connaître à plus grande échelle !

An excellent game, a love poem to classics like Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 7, with inovative time-related mechanics
