Breath of Life

Breath of Life is one of those indie games where you know it's super simple and has its design flaws, but you still enjoy it for what it is. It's an honest ARPG with a beautiful female protagonist who serves as some kind of golem—an artificial life form with a simple task to complete: save the day by saving the world. It would have been nice if the game had given a more mystical or esoteric explanation for her existence, such as saying that you're some kind of materialized "thought-form," "tulpa," or "egregore." But I digress. The game has some nice visuals. It's an asset flip, but it works. The gameplay and combat remain very simple throughout the entire game. The environments are a mix of small, arena-like stages and larger areas. The latter are where the problems begin. They don't have particularly good level design and can be quite confusing to navigate. A map would have been a nice addition, but the game is still perfectly playable without one. The game's AI is also not very good. Enemies sometimes have a hard time finding you when you're simply walking around, causing them to behave in very erratic and confusing ways. Still, the game works surprisingly well as a cozy ARPG…

I enjoy my time playing "Breath of Life". This indie action-adventure RPG game is superbly well-made. One of the elements that I love about this game is that there are no numerous fetch quest tasks to complete and no complicated puzzle trickeries to solve. This game is a straight forward teleport to a location from your village safe haven; obliterate the enemies; complete the assigned task; and GTFO by teleporting back to your village safe haven. This is a great game to play to pass the time and help maintain your hand-eye coordination reflexes. I highly recommend purchasing and playing this fantastic game.

Goth Girlfriend Simulator. I enjoyed it well enough to recommend, with caveats. Perfect play while listening to podcasts. I liked the art direction, the character and enemy designs, and of course the most important in every RPG: Fashion :) It's a simple RPG with decent power fantasy mowing down hordes of undead and the occasional wildlife, but the environments are a bit repetitive and the enemy AI is very basic. The latter is probably easier to fix if they would try to overwhelm you more, and / or hit harder. Even the largest enemies hit like a wet feather at endgame; I almost exclusively used health potions to vendor for money. Also, you can interrupt-lock every enemy with dual-wield (don't know about other play-style), perhaps giving some enemy attacks super-armour could fix this, and / or adding stamina management to attacks, dodges and sprinting (in combat). I'd also add more weapon runes, currently they only seem to add extra damage. I'm thinking of stun chance (easiest, since stun mechanics are already in the game), life-steal for % of dmg done, and maybe freezing to slow down enemies. As for the environments, arguably the two best locations are the cave and the last map…

easy, simple arpg with lack of QoL but somehow just good enough to worth the price.

Played ~10 hours of the demo prior to the full release and really enjoyed it. The full game now offers many improvements, both in performance and quality-of-life. There has been a steady stream of updates/improvements and the dev is listening to community feedback. The game itself is fun. Simple, but fun. Hack-and-slash your way through various maps. Archery and magic have been added since the demo, though I haven't experimented with them yet. Performance is great; the game seems to be pretty well-optimized. Happy to keep playing it. Makes for a good music/podcast game!

Completed the game. I wanna say, The stuff, the combat everything feels wonky and it becomes repetitive after 4 levels. otherwise an average time killer, but I kept playing more hoping for something better but it's just same all over. the storyline just exists and the enemies have the same AI, same attacks just different skins there are maybe 5 types of enemies but overall an okayish game just try to get it on discount otherwise don't bother. not worth the original price of $7
