HYBRIS - Pulse of Ruin

- So fun to play, rating 90/100

I'm only about 25% finished with this game and must say that it is an awesome RPGMaker game. It has various assets used in other games but it is a solid, massive, great story RPG that brings back some old 90s memories. Tons of quests, lots of gem crafting, lots of enemies with tons of drops and even a board game to play. My one complaint is that there are a few glitches and the translation is brutal at times with horrible spelling and grammar mistakes. Solid so far nonetheless.

It is absolutely as cringe/trope filled as the preview videos and images show. It is unapologeticly 90s anime is both story and feel that it's insane. Still, there's heart here, and it's not a terrible game. https://youtu.be/Jz-p7ZtaFz4

[h3]Not recommended[/h3] I got this for $0.56 so I'm not too bothered. I give them major credit for making a pretty hype game on a budget. They did well in terms of visual storytelling, and making a bit of excitement with limited graphics and animations. Good creativity and well-executed!! I thought it had potential from the game play perspective. Looks like a cool system of leveling, skills, items, etc. I enjoyed how easy it was to customize my characters and the UI was quite well done. I can't stand this game because of the horrid method of conveying the story. It is done with cardboard cutout heads with word bubbles containing hundreds of tiny snippets of dialogue - it is just [b]squandering[/b] my time and you have to NEXT through each one - no SKIP option. Can't just hammer the SPACE bar to rapidly skip through them either. Because the Dev made sure to put a [i]non-interruptible[/i] 0.5s fade-in and fade-out transition for each. Wish I was kidding. Honestly, 75% of the dialogue could be completely eliminated and it wouldn't change the experience. The remaining dialogue could be collapsed into 50% of the dialogue windows instead of delivering one sentence at a time. This…

Really good indie game, feels like a mix of Final Fantasy 7, Grandia 2 and Skies of Arcadia JRPGs. By that i mean some ideas of this game are probably stolen from the others but it is still good Story is well written (some things did not feel logical, but i do not want to spoil), the characters are mostly authentic and develop throughout the story. It is the main reason to play this game The dialogues are kinda hit or miss, some are good enough, others however are cringy or way too overdramatic The battle system is interesting in the beginning but gets boring towards the end I liked most of the side missions, good change of pace Music was okay-ish overall, though some boss themes were really on point Things I disliked: - Some minigames (snowboard, avalanche, raft) are just horrible - Heavy lags in a lot of places although this game should not challenge my PC that much - The arena is pointless and badly structured. Do not let players fight through 7 battles just to get to an enemy which can only be defeated by a certain element that you most likely will not have equipped before the arena. You cannot win and have to start all over again. That is just plain stupid - The EX game …
