Echo Generation: Midnight Edition

I'm disappointed. The style and attention to detail is absolutely amazing, the art direction is incredible. The gameplay itself is just meh, with pointless fetch quests and battles that take way too long. Your attacks will do 8 damage at most, and a boss will have over 100 health. It's not difficult, it just takes way too long. If you like the vibe, maybe give it a shot, but I sadly couldn't recommend this one.

Imagine roughly 10+ different Goosebumps books (and maybe a couple of Saturday morning cartoons) all mashed together into one world, expressed through the medium of Lego and experienced through the gameplay of Paper Mario. That's what this game is. And it's pretty fun! You can go from fighting a giant junkyard robot to exorcising ghosts and sneaking into secret government bases. All the animals can talk (this is normal), there's secret messages hidden in the TV static, and your principal is of course a serial killer (who kidnaps kids and forces them to do homework in his basement before turning them into puppets). Very much brings you back if you ever read fiction of this stripe. The gameplay is pretty well done, though the scaling is a bit weird in places. You get new moves by finding comic books, and you will find twice as many for your MC's sibling early on than you will for the MC themself, leaving you feeling like you missed something for quite a while before discovering no, you didn't, that's just the order you find the comics in. A similar thing can be said for the rate at which you find new moves for your various pets - you'll likely find all three moves for the *second* p…

Nice pixel art, solid jrpg-style gameplay, and the 80's kitch ambiance make for a great combo

This game is great if your looking for a more laidback experience. The art and music of this game is amazing and there's a lot of charm and love put into it. My only two complains are that the game feels really easy. there's no hard mode or extra things to make you want to replay it. all the achievements can be completed in a single playthrough. also the endgame will feel more like a mid-game than anything. But if you want to buy it, go ahead for a short 5 hour game.

super fun shorter RPG game. Does have some supernatural/horror elements if you're into that. Nice comedy and easy skills to learn!

4.4/5
