A gem of a game, with a couple of flaws.
Firstly, i really enjoyed playing this, although at times it was quite stressful making the right decision! Beautiful pixel art and a compelling, well written story. I would recommend it. A few thoughts: If you struggle early on: from the guides I read post completion, a few of the easier tactics are slightly less obvious so if you struggled with resources throughout, it's worth doing your research. Overall- the art style was lovely and I found the story absorbing. The story telling was excellent and the interaction enjoyable. Flaws- it's been written plenty online but some key parts of the plot are fixed; either impossible to impact or it would have been nicer to have other options. In particular, without spoilers: An early major plot point that has no options There was one anachronistic element that was no doubt a popular plot point but somewhat illogical in the context. This did not diminish the game overall, but left me feeling that I had failed in some ways without giving me a chance to rectify the choices. The Art style throughout was beautiful with a couple of very minor gripes. I enjoyed the pixel art and the digital brush art although they were slightly at odds with each other I felt. It was a pixel game (except on a few occasions when it wasn't) A couple of the cinematics felt stylistically a little bit off; they were pixel art but slightly lower quality. These were minor though in the scheme of things, a really absorbing and thought-provoking game. I will give the sequel a go when released.
