Spirit Cleansers

Game developed by students from BUAS. It is a fun game and I like the graphics and atmosphere. The gameplay is easy to understand, but still enjoyable, and the overall style gives the game a lot of charm. For a student project, it feels polished and creative. Definitely worth trying if you enjoy a short fun indie game.

A short - my play time is for two playthroughs - but attractive and surprisingly strategic turn-based 3D RPG, in which a priest and a warrior battle spiritual demons on a ruined estate. This free student project game looks very good, has some clever combat mechanics, and there is a nice level of humour in the conversation between the two heroes and in the background escapades of demons haunting and playing on the estate. I'm not very experienced in RPGs and in my first playthrough I struggled to find a way of keeping both heroes alive and effective. But with the great help of Aura's guide which explains many of the mechanics and shows how the special powers of the heroes can interact, I managed to complete all of the battle scenarios. (Before reading the guide I hadn't even realised that [spoiler]purified squares gain a killing power[/spoiler] - perhaps this could be a little clearer in the game, both visually and in the text). My second playthrough was to try for more of the six achievements, but in the end two were beyond me. However I enjoyed playing, and felt the game was well worth the time I spent in it - my congratulations to the developers.

A short fun game with a nice art style. Has some minor hiccups but overall feels very polished.

A very short (~1.5 hour) but sweet turn-based combat game. The scale is small, but the battles have just the right amount of complexity to make them engaging. And the Japanese-style art is gorgeous. It could do with a better tutorial (but check out the Steam guide); however the only true downside is that it's just so short. There is so much potential for more scenarios! Unfortunately, this is a student project, and a finished one. I wish the creators the best of luck, and hope to see more of them in the future.

Wonderful little game. The art is fun, the characters are funny, and the gameplay is well thought out. My only complaint is that there isn't more of it.

Quite a solid base here. The movement is nice, the visuals are great for the most part and the combat sequences are quite fun. There are issues of course, unclear definitions like the sword saying it can hit "Enemies" which includes the bell, but then the chain which hits "enemies" can't attack the bell. The movement was also super confusing, since you spend 1 AP to move 3/4 (Priest, Warriors), but if you don't use all of your movement, you still keep that movement for that turn. The Cleansing was also confusing since the yellow tiles were not clearly still kill tiles. Overall, the game is quite fun but a bit more clear UI and definitions would help with the confusion :D
