[h1] Nocturnal [/h1] I received this for free a while back. It is really fun. Looking forward to Nocturnal 2 - whenever it comes out.

Good, short game. It's a cool story and premise, and the art is amazing. The game is a little rough around the edges sometimes but it's not that big of a deal. And the combat's fun and not just too easy. Overall pretty good game especially since most people got it for free.

Beautiful story, the combat and gameplay was addicting too. I also loved the fact it had a skill tree cause I love skill trees.

Beautiful aesthetics and soundtracks. Gameplay is fun as well and the overall difficulty is moderate.

Before anything, no, this game is NOT the usual slop that steam is giving out for free lately with the only purpose of making it rot on your library forever. About the game itself, Nocturnal is a pretty fun and solid action-platformer, however very short (you can easily complete it in 3-4 hours at most). It's definitely worth the price I paid for it.
