Jack Move

Jack Move is a solid, short cyberpunk RPG that respects your time. The game's greatest strengths are its presentation; the pixel art is stylish and the soundtrack does a good job of creating a pretty atmospheric world. It's a polished experience that ran flawlessly for me on both Windows and Linux. The main drawback is the combat. The battle system starts off promising but becomes quite repetitive by the end, largely because enemies have too much health, which drags out fights. The story is also just fine—it's enjoyable enough to see you through, but it doesn't offer many surprises. One specific warning for German players: the translation is not good, with awkward grammar and some weirdly juvenile dialogue that can hurt the experience. Verdict: A recommend if you're looking for a quick, stylish RPG. It's an okay game that doesn't overstay its welcome, just be prepared for the combat to wear a bit thin.

If your into future punk and books... you might like this? *Its clear there is a lot of love put into this. For that reason, it might be worth investing in the creators endeavor for their potential future. Its important to support independent projects like this. Everything after this point is going to be PURELY negitive.* This game is basically a book with how much dialogue there is. Conversations go on WAY to long for me to care. I ended up skipping most the dialogue because of how little I cared. Thank goodness there was an objective tab in the character menu! I would NOT have gotten as far as I did without it. With how much dialogue there is, I am SHOCKED there are NPCs I can talk to! Not something I would want to do, but shocking with how much content there is. For the most part, everything seems a bit bland and uninteresting story wise. Might have skipped over some important bits but from what I gleaned, the writers made the mistake of telling instead of showing. The main character is intolerable. Of all main characters in video games, she is one of the most stale white bread out there. She never really reacts with much emotion. Her motivations are state…

It certainly is a JRPG.

63/100 I finished the game in 8 hours. I also did a few (uninteresting) side quests. I did spend at least 90 minutes purely grinding because some bosses have an excruciating amount of HP. The biggest problem with the game is the battle system. It's one of the most shallow battle systems I've seen in a turned-based JRPG. It's basically Rock-Paper-Scissors based on color with a few extra details. After one hour I've seen almost everything of it, and battle were just boooring. I recommend listening to a podcast at the same time. The game does have a redeeming feature: it has extremely stylish pixel art animations. The atmosphere and environments are also quite nice. I can recommend the game because on that, but only on a strong sale (-75%), because 20€ is way too expensive for such a short game with only a few qualities.

Jack Move is a solid RPG witha unique setting that does not overstay its welcome. I would a welcome a sequel as it was quite enjoyable.

Awesome and well-made indie turn-based RPG with great pixel art and soundtrack. The story is not long and doesn't overstay it's welcome, gameplay is fun, characters are fun to talk to and every npc has unique dialogue every time you finish a mission. Overall, nice short experience with every achievent being pretty straight-forward and you can get them all just by playing the game normally so it's also easy to recommend to any completionist.
