Don't know why I keep trying these 2D RPG games. They are all the same to me, BORING!

Great game guys! I enjoyed what I am guessing is the first chapter, since I am unable to get to the "cave to the east". lol I make my way through the most east area, and then it plops me back to the west side of it. Storyline is great, even though i kinda sped through it. I also like the little easter egg quests hidden within the residents (ie Red Dolly) of the towns. Very cool. Can't wait for the next chapter!

This is exactly what you want in a party based 2-D game, the writing is clever and the soundtrack is perfect. I'm loving these characters already, can't wait for more!

This is not the style of game that I usually play but I actually really liked it! I appreciated being able to get a feel for the story without financial commitment and, for new game developers, I think the team did an awesome job making something that was story-driven and entertaining. I really liked the artwork and originality of each of the characters, and I enjoyed the dynamic between Astra and Katagaida - though I think its very obvious what direction they may be going in. My favorite part was the cave exploration, the glowing lights and music was fitting to the scene. No spoilers, of course, but the last part of the chapter really hit me. I am looking forward to seeing how this story progresses!

Hallowed Core is a classic style turn based RPG that I think has a lot of charm in its first chapter. I am entering the sacred centre of the planet Trowa, a hollow world where the surface has become more of a legend than a real place. The story follows a young man dealing with his family's past while a war between the fire wielders of Granlest and the water wielders of Sylvestria is already causing trouble. I liked the setup because it feels very much like an older RPG while still having its own world and history. The turn based combat is probably the part I enjoyed most. The game has an elemental combat system, with the conflict between fire and water playing an important role in the world and battles. I like having to think about my choices instead of just attacking every turn. The party based setup also gives the fights a little more variety as I progress, and I think the slower combat suits the game's old school style quite well. It is not trying to be an action RPG, so I can take my time and think about what I want to do. The world is another strong point for me. Hallowed Core clearly takes inspiration from games like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6 and Golden Sun, and I can…

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
