VED: Purification

Interesting battle mechanics, a fascinating story - a very atmospheric game.

"VED: Purification" is is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "VED". VED is more e-book than game, a simple CYOA e-book with some lightweight mobile/browser tier RPG combat tacked on pointlessly. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not VED, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "VED: Purification" too. The purpose of this advertisement is to get you to shell out a whopping $25 USD on buying VED, and I don't recommend you do that either. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. As an advertisement, this is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking …

A Very Enjoyable Choices Matter RPG with d20 Game Mechanic and a Fantasy / Victorian age environment feel. Definitely recommend playing!

this is not a full game

this was very interesting and can be played more than once to try for different outcomes and i'll i'm sold enough to invest in the full game, i really liked the unique battle system and the interesting choices and consequences

6.5/10 RPG with positional turn-based fights TLDR: this game achieves nice looks it sketch-like 2D graphics. Battles look simple yet promising, hard to tell from the prologue. Good: + free (prologue, essentially a demo) + despite the simple 2D images used here, the animations and the special effects make a nice impression + good music, sfx and voiceovers + battles seem fine though somewhat simplistic. Maybe more abilities unlock in the later chapters So-so: +/- the story here is surely told with pathos, and the voice actors are doing a great job. Yet to me _what_ is being said was meaningless or at least irrelevant Bad: - nothing During the first dialog with dice rolls, I was confused if the number after the dialog option means I need to roll above that number or if that's my ability stat. So, I picked an option with a high number first - which is wrong. Maybe this should be explained earlier. Or the dialog option should show "(req. 15)" or "(min 15)" or ">15" instead of just "15".
