[@vuivraalbastra]

Thank you for being one of the few persons who gave attention to this game. I loved it and I recommend it for people who like metroidvanias with good stories and characters and puzzles, especially considering you showed only the basics of the story.

[@Senketsu13]

What is the name of the game tho?

[@VladDascaliuc]

Uros Stanojlovic Iconoclasts.

[@romank9611]

It's not really a metroidvania, as you barely use your upgrades to progress, unless plot decides so. You don't have that much freedom either, you can't jut get the wrench upgrade or the gun upgrade whenever you want if you have the minimum abilities. And barely any useful backtracking due to it being pretty linear (unless you want to 100% the game) The characters were good, the story was ok? (i guess), the final boss leaves a sense of an unfinished story. The game itself is ughh, can't say it's bad, but can't say it's that good either. You only really need to fight bosses most of the time. Regular enemies are just like moving obstacles, there's no gain in confronting them. Puzzles are quite basic most of the time as well, upgrade system is honestly obsolete. Dialog choices matter slightly, not that much tho and the logic behind them is weird, if you want to change the final fight slightly.

[@vuivraalbastra]

@@romank9611 I really liked the story, mostly because the characters seemed very much like real people, many of them had character arcs and the beautiful detailed pixel art really made it easy to see their reactions.It is a bit hard to follow at the beginning, until you learn what some of the names mean, but I think it's worth it. To be honest, I don't mind it not requiring backtracking for finishing the story and if you really wanna get the 100& you will have enough backtracking to do to make up for the lack of it before anyway. Yeah, I agree that the upgrade system is not very impactful, but it can still helps at times and I think the skill difficulty of the game (medium to low) doesn't require more powerful upgrades. The real difficulty of the game comes from the puzzles which are annoying at times, but a lot of them are not required to finish the game. I did enjoy the parts of the game when you needed to figure it out HOW to fight the boss before actually fighting him, that's the kind of puzzles I want to see more in games. For the dialog options I agree with you, I wish they had a purpose beside making it a bit easier for you in the final fight. I would have loved it if you could save some characters based on it, especially if you could convince Royal to stay behind when you go to the space station. But hey, at least this way you can give your protagonist some personality, I guess. Overall is not a perfect game and I can see how some people wouldn't like it, but it's very well done and I think it still more people should give it a shot.

[@radpunk5144]

Could you recommend some similar games to me? I love hi-bit style games with this kind of metroidvania structure.

[@ThePyrobrid]

In all seriousness, having to leave Royal behind messed me up mentally so badly. I spent a lot of time there trying to figure out a way to get him through.

[@nutmatical1042]

Me too is so sad

[@SonHeittor]

In a minute, i thought i was smart, i tried to use the "switch place gun" to make him go to the other scaner, and we both pass, but no, it was not possible. Than i thought if i stayed with him, he would tell me a solution, but no. I've then proceded to close the game and do not play for a week.

[@kin5678insane]

@@SonHeittor This actually got me mad at the game. It's the only place the swap thing doesn't work, so it MAKES you leave him.

[@SonHeittor]

@@kin5678insane when i've played that part again, i've I noticed a thing. One panel is working but hanging by a wire, and the other is just broken, it has cracks on it. If you used the swap weapon thing, the two would've died.

[@Bellumbeck271]

If I'm not mistaken, Word of God said that they designed the scene SPECIFICALLY so there was no way to save Royal, gameplay-wise or lore-wise. The idea was to show to both the player and Robin, who has been helping everyone throughout the game selflessly no matter what, that some people are too far gone to be helped. Royal started as a bit of an entitled bastard, but after he realized the truth, he wholeheartedly tried to change for the better, and wanted to help. Thing is, that he was too far gone to do a heel-face turn, so we had to learn that there was no helping him, either to break out of the hallucinations, or to escape the space station. Once you begin to think about it, it's an amazing written bit, but the fact that I had began to get invested in Royal only for him to helplessly die alone in the explosion hit me so hard that I couldn't continue the game. It's a really good game, but god damn does it get dark after the tower.

[@Agora2021]

[@novarwright8514]

Norad2 how exactly MGS plot is crazy? It is just a simple story about pissed of grandpa, who created the nation of soldiers, was killed by his own clone, then that clone proceeds to kill another clone, while uncovering the conspiracy regarding recreation of metal gear, which leads to patriots, which is pretty much capitalist Illuminati, ai created the war economy, there this cool black guy who sells weapons, who is an agent of patriots and... Look, if you just played the games, it’s not convoluted at all.

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

+Novar Wright Not exactly convoluted in a sense that the story is crazy, more-so convoluted in a sense that the MGS games weren't entirely developed in cronological order, which is what gets people confused, I believe.

I picked this game up purely on the fact that I liked the semi-retro pixel art style and the Metroidvania gameplay it seemed to promise (from a quick PSN trailer video) a couple of months back. It's a refreshingly fun and challenging game with a dystopian setting that has the potential for a great story. I say "potential" because I haven't finished the game yet since other things kinda distracted me and I want to just sit down and dedicate an entire weekend to it... And yes, there are a LOT of waifus. The ones on the title screen are just the more notable characters in the story; so far, I haven't found a settlement that DIDN'T have at least a couple of potential waifus wandering around. >.>
