Phoenotopia: Awakening

Excellent game, a shame almost no one knows about it

Has a lot of soul and care put into it, but sadly not very good in some aspects that are essential in its genre. movement is slow and slightly clunky, combat doesn't feel good but is also incredibly hard. lots of sidequests with no in-game map or quest system. Several cases of ambiguity in puzzles and dialogues which made me have to backtrack in vain, even look online in case the game was broken (it indeed was once). I don't enjoy the saving system either. It's playable, as you can see per my hours played, but it's not very good. I'm a silksong/dark souls/nine sols player btw so don't come at me with git gud. getting good is fun when it feels rewarding

A very charming and beautiful game! I'm seeing people complain about the difficulty in the reviews, which is fair, I beat the game only by getting a boat load of health and spamming healing items, but the gameplay was secondary for me. What I really enjoyed as the story and characters. I spent almost an hour in the very beginning of the game just chatting with all the NPCs, and there's plenty more funny dialogue elsewhere. Of course, the gameplay's not all bad! The zelda-like puzzles and metroidvania elements were plenty of fun, and I like that pretty much every little seemingly insegnifficant sidequest is rewarded. But if you're more into combat, I'm afraid I found the game lacking in this aspect. There's not much depth, just mash the attack button or spam charged attacks, maybe use a bomb if you've got the timing down. Oh, and the art style's beautiful, of course, but you could already tell that from the trailer! I know I'm making it out to be a story game with all style and no substance, but I'd highly reccomend it!

fun :3

I still like the flash version ending more, it make you so hype for what gonna happen next (if you guys decide to continue developing that is). Anyway the game beautiful, lot of fun puzzles, some are not, some are pain :) . The default control for PC is a bit uncomfortable use, which I have to rebind. The music is nice. Most track that is. Overall, i have fun. Too bad the game did not sell well though, but this is still quite an art that you guys made. A 4 years+ artwork.
