Isernsmith

I enjoyed playing this game. Here are my thoughts: 1. The game succeeded in establishing a melancholic and ominous feel, which was noticeable through dialogue, music, game art and character design, and the backstory. Clear attention to detail was paid in that regard. 2. While the dialogue succeeded in conveying a message, it was somewhat too on-the-nose. Nobelle's pivotal prologue conversation, specifically, has little room for subtlety in its sweeping expositional remarks. 3. The creator requested that I analyze the gender dynamics and dialogue in the game with the goal of determining whether the portrayal of women was accurate. From what I saw, there was nothing problematic or off-color. My criteria for "accurate portrayal of women" is quite loose as I don't subscribe to bioessentialist beliefs; accurate portrayal of women, then, in my eyes, is the same as "accurate portrayal of a human" plus the requirement that the portrayal in question is either 1. gender-blind or 2. gender-conscious without disseminating misogynistic and/or bioessentialist beliefs.

Creative game with a good crafting focus. Enjoyed the art style and engaging gameplay.

cloud king work.

Honestly the game left a solid impression on me compared to what the store page showed. The combat was smooth, and the bosses were interesting. I like the solid progression system and the weapon diversity. Cant wait to get deeper into the game !

You start of as this weeping girl whos older twin sister is going away for the royal place. story couuld work a bit on more explanation of the lore but its good overall. the fighting style id okay kinda remindes me of mindcraft in a way, the first "boss fight" is pretty cool because insted of killing him you steal from him. I haven't gone that far in the story yet but so far its good and i would recommend.very entertaining and good art style.

At first glance, I was expecting this to be a boring indie game made from scraps. But within five minutes I realized I was wrong. The story itself is intriguing, and I cant wait to get further into it. But the combat is what really hooks you. There is significant depth into the movement and the weapons. Which the enemies complemented well. The only thing I wish to see improved is a stronger healing system and a better soundtrack. Overall, I recommend playing this game.
