Masking my mist rn
I had a fun time with it, but it is in need of some polish. The two biggest issues I came across are as follows: - No renewable way to get health potions, so if you run out, you're gonna be stuck reloading saves every time you get hit. - There is no map, and the forests between landmarks all look similar, so expect to be running in circles if you forget where something is unless you've got a really good sense of direction. - This one is subjective, but the endings were very underwhelming after the mystery the game was building towards with the stone bird masks and the Mask of Mist. It's either a few sentences of ||you get possessed by the mask oh no|| or ||you rescue the Archmage and go back to your normal life|| and nothing deeper than that. Which is fine if you're not in it for the story, but I was intrigued by the masks and notes, so the endings were a bit disappointing.
Cool short game.
Very short. Very easy. A little too obtuse. Not worth the asking price of $15 USD. Maybe half that so if it's on sale go for it then. I don't feel compelled to write a more in depth review as I normal do, but here are a few things I disliked, personally. - Limited amount of ranged attacks for your entire game - Controls that do not feel good - Melee enemies are trivially easy and ranged enemies are obnoxiously annoying (see first point, too) - Confusing phrasing on some things. I'm guessing this was due to improper translation into English. Ex: calling the same item two different, but similar, things in two different parts of the game ("wood" vs "tree") - Animations are clunky - Sound design is... unpleasant - Story is not at all compelling - Bugs (or maybe just jankiness??) of the potion crafting menu Things I (sorta) liked: - The art style, I guess
Indie action/adventure game seemingly inspired by '90s PC dungeon crawlers has its share of janky, low-budget charm, but the combat is outright bad and the level/quest design just isn't interesting at all, with "puzzles" that largely amount to either finding a key or finding an item that effectively acts as a key. Not for me.
Many funs. Wouldve gotten boring if it was any longer Play it or get the heyl outta these reviews
