"Blitzball the game"
If you played a lot of Blitzball in Final Fantasy VIII, then you will love this game. For those who don't know what that is, the best way I would describe this game is as an RPG-version of Basketball. The goal is to try and outscore your oppentent and how you do so can depend on who you decided to send it. Smaller characters, for example, are faster but they score less points. There is a fair amount of detail that can affect your strategy for the game from how you level up characters to whether you want to chance the game's equivalant of a "Three-point shot" to even what players you can field as they may dislike each other. The story is told mostly through text and visuals, which sucks if you hate reading and loved listening to a narrator with a sexy voice tell you how good you are at kicking ass. There is a snarky anouncer but for the most part it's told in the style of a visual novel. But if you take the time to read it, you will find a world and lore that is deep and complex. And while it's mostly static, the watercolor look to the characters and environments are GORGOROUS to look at. The story revolves around you being sent into exile for the crime of being able to read and are picked up by a wandering band of fellow exiles. And now there is a chance of escape thanks to a celestial event known as "The Rites". As a reader, you are now tasked with helping the members of your team escape exile and return to civilization. That's essetially the story as most of it is told based on who you decide to spend time with and how games play out. All in all, Pyre is a really solid title to add to SuperGiant's catalouge and well worth picking up. It's different and not for everyone but I'd rather a developer try something new than sit on their laurals.
