A short and quickly paced JRPG that has a lot of heart, and a lot of energy. Overall, Soma Spirits is a pretty standard framework: a collection of stock level themes and a story revolving around collecting some plot coupons to save the world. Helping it out however is the omnipresent split between the World of Joy and the World of Sorrow, which runs through both the narrative and the gameplay itself, and provides enough of a backbone to make the ~5 hour runtime entertaining while also giving it a little replay value and player choice on the side. The story here is light and largely comedic, as you may expect, but the writing is overall of a decent quality, and enjoyable. The most notable aspect is that it delivers a pretty nice message about how both positive and negative emotions are a necessary part of life, that trying to do away with all the sadness in the world or drowning yourself in grief and misery are both self-destructive ways to live- a kind of lesson you don't see a lot of these kinds of lighthearted games attempting to approach. That kind of balancing act is nicely represented in the gameplay as well- your two characters traverse both sides of the world, and chan…

A lovely little RPG Maker excursion with a cool "duality" theme. The swapping mechanic makes traversing the overworld into a fun and amusing puzzle adventure, and the combat was surprisingly complex, as most of your abilities require a bit of setup and support, and vary depending on which universe you're currently traveling in. It's nice playing an RPG that requires a little more thought and effort than the usual ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK, HEAL WHEN LOW, ATTACK, WIN. The story elements were fun and light-hearted, enjoyable for All Ages but with a story that will appeal across the board all the same. Playing through the main story took me about 7 hours, and has me curious about the New Game + feature as well as trying out the alternate endings. Definitely recommended!

RPG Maker strikes again! "Soma Spirits: Rebalance" is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. This RPG Maker asset flip is notable for a couple of reasons (that no game should be notable for), a particularly badly hacked together high school D&D club fan-fiction backstory, and that some of the assets aren't flipped, they're just stolen character designs from Final Fantasy instead. Wow. Otherwise, this is a painfully generic RPG Maker kitbash that should be (and was) avoided by everyone. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be u…

This was a really enjoyable game i was addicted to it for a few months and played it in school 24/7. Was so fun to explore the world and the story was amazing. I wasn't prepared for how invested id be in it. 100% reccomend
