About Playing Both Sides

✦ AI summary

Playing Both Sides is a JRPG where you navigate a magic-filled world as a privateer transformed against your will, choosing whether to embrace your new identity while caught between an oppressive Patriarchy and a growing Resistance. Beneath its humble visuals lies a tactics-focused combat system and quirky mechanics that prioritize strategic depth over aesthetics, packed with pirates, witches, cats, and unapologetic absurdist humor.

In a world of magic, run by idiots, there is the Lawless Sea. A place where piracy rules. Where the omnipresent Patriarchy has dominion in every country, but a growing Resistance is moving the upset the established order.

In this world a privateer named Eric will upset his girlfriend's mother, be transformed against his will, and made to join the Resistance. What will follow is a bizarre comedy of interesting circumstances and characters as chaos reigns. Will he/she embrace their new identity or oppose it? The choice is up to you!

Playing Both Sides is an RPGMaker game in the JRPG style. It features artwork lovingly crafted by an unemployed mathematician, and other much better artwork made by an actual artist. The game features mechanics and a combat system built by aforementioned mathematician, with a few nods to real life swordsmanship. What this games lacks in visuals, it makes up for in mechanics. Tactics will usually be the deciding factor in every fight.

Other features include:

Gender Bending
Witches
Pirates
Title IX Investigations
Trolls
Lessons on the safe use of explosives
Chosen Ones
Lots and lots of cats
Math
More Witches!
Pop culture references to things from before you were born
And fetch quests!

✦ AI summary

Players praise this hidden gem for its sharp humor, endearing eccentric characters, and interesting elemental combat system, along with its reasonable price. However, common complaints include the combat being overly difficult and gimmicky with frequent party wipes, lack of autosave functionality, limited character customization, and various bugs that detract from the experience.

Recommended Mar 7, 2026

I agree with the hidden gem assessment shared by other reviewers. This is a good game and well worth the price. The humor is unexpectedly sharp, and the combat system does really interesting things with elemental attacks.

This is a hidden gem. A very good hidden gem. The combat is atrocious and gimicky. You are allways 2 spells away from total party kill There is no autosave. ------------------------ The humor is great. The game is full of interesting characters. Both sides are well represented and there are no clear good guys 100% Both sides are jerks sometimes. The price is great. Thank you for the game

This game is absolute infuriating crap. I don’t regret the money I spent, that was less the 2$, that was nothing, but I deeply regret the tine I spent, time thats worth a lot more. The ONLY reason I bought this game was a line in the description, “will he/she embrace their new identity or oppose it? The choice is up to you!” No.. it is in fact, not. At all. In any way. In reality its a retarded ass rail road. MC grows up knowing witches are evil, and finding out his girl friend is infact a witch does he report her? No! He murdered the rightful authority figure looking for her and then joins up with the evil ♥♥♥♥ for some happy lovey time. He literally watches as she commits seriously evil acts, And it totally cool with it, no biggie! Choice?!? naaa who needs choice! Lets rail road the MC into being an evil ♥♥♥♥ too! Forget what we said about opposing it! Then as a surprise to no one she wrongfully accuses you of rape, and her evil ♥♥♥♥ of a mother turns you into a girl and mind controls you to go along with it. I turned it off at that point. I can only stand so much. I'm done. This is pure absolute garbage, and to the maker, just a pro-tip, may not wana lie in your descriptions…

Recommended Jun 19, 2026

Great Gem for sure. I am very pleased. It's easy to ascertain a lot of work and humor went into this game. Well done!
