Great short RPG
Felvidek has a full Final Fantasy game's worth of story content told in about a tenth of the time, which averages out to a complete fantasy story, including companion moments, big reveals, and high stakes, told within the span of time that it would make sense to tell a story like this. Developers of longer games could stand to take note of how shorter games like Felvidek and Skald can build character and mood while at the same time cultivating a brisk sense of pacing and substance. It took me a couple of tries to get into this one, mainly because of its progression system, which is based entirely around the gear characters have equipped rather than XP or stat progression. This makes it so that there's no need for trash mobs or random encounters. Once I got over the initial hurdle of realizing that I couldn't/didn't have to grind to get through these very intentionally designed encounters, it was easy to basically play through the whole thing in two sittings. The story is a fun and witty horror fantasy adventure, and as another compliment to the game's short length, I was surprised by how much characterization and camaraderie it managed to achieve in a little over five hours, or how many decisions I was making that, unbeknownst to me, could have gone in completely different directions. And, as a final note, there are so many quaint human touches, like the stiff but well-directed cutscenes and the translation errors, that make this whole thing so charming and easy to recommend.
