Do you like adventure? Are you a sucker for a world of monsters and magic? 
Do you like wholesale violence peppered with coarse language, and served with a side of pixelated booty? 
Then buckle up, you legend. We're going for a ride... 

 

Get ready to travel far and wide, taking on creatures of all shapes and sizes in classic turn-based fashion, while discovering the secrets and adventures that Allegoria has in store. 
Harvest the body parts of your adversaries for financial gain and personal satisfaction, level up to strike down even greater foes, and arm yourself with more weapons and equipment than any sane person could be reasonably expected to carry on their person at any given time. 

 
There are more than 144 unique enemies to face on your adventures through Allegoria, from ferocious Canadian geese and majestic tortoises to your bog-standard fantasy staples like dragons, unicorns, and the ever-ubiquitous slimes! There are plenty of beasts and beyond to encounter, each with unique item drops that can be sold in shops for the gold you'll need to purchase weapons and equipment to aid you on your journey. 

 
Have you ever played a game that has one weapon you just can't put down, or an armor set that makes you indestructible? It's a great feeling, isn't it? 
Too bad that's not the case here. 
In Allegoria, if you want to get stronger, you'll need to master as much equipment as you can if you want to increase your stats, and if you think you need new attacks or magic spells to bring with you into battle, you'd better replace that old gear with something new, and fast. With more than 80 skills to learn and almost 150 pieces of equipment to collect, you'll want to try them all to find the right move set for you! 

 
There's no shortage of personality in Allegoria, and everyone seems to have something to say. Most of it's just fluff to fill in empty spaces and make the world seem more lifelike, but every once in a while, someone actually has something useful to say. 
They may be a little rough around the edges, but the people of Allegoria are always willing to guide you on your journey, and they might even have a quest or two for you to earn gold and other helpful items. 

 
There's a story in there somewhere... it's just buried under layers of madness and debauchery. 
If you think grinding for experience and mastering weapons is tedious, try to unravel this Gordian knot of a narrative. 
Does it have a deeper meaning? Absolutely! 
Does it matter? No! It's a video game! Just enjoy it and stop worrying about what kind of subliminal messaging the developer is trying to inject into your subconscious... 

If you're a fan of retro handheld RPGs with a 2-bit pixel art aesthetic but are tired of the same played-out, stereotypical, fantasy adventure, then be sure to pick up The Edge of Allegoria today for a refreshing take on the genre that influenced a generation!

When gameboy goes grown-up

I've played this game on Steam, but I'd love a good copy at some point. Nevertheless, I would love to express my support for this lovely game here. The aesthetics, the green palette, and the sounds brought me back to the era of my first Gameboy. EoA is almost like the now grown-up adult game of those good ol’ kiddo days. It grew up with me, and I love it. It has some what could be considered harsh stuff in there, but if you zoom out, it's actually a take on actual problems and issues, which makes it thought-provoking. It makes you think. In my opinion, that's not a bad thing. Also, the bad dark humour makes me laugh, sometimes harder than I should, but oh well. The battle is a part I kind of stink at due to combo stuff and having the brain of a flee (aka, that's on me, not the game!), but I'm still enjoying it. There are also a lot of secrets and stuff to be found. This game will easily keep you busy for hours on end. So it's pretty much a good deal for the price, in my opinion. And the dev is a really chill guy and nice guy, too. Every time he talks about his game, the slight shimmer in his eyes shows how much love, passion, and care he put into it and continues to put into it. Idk why, but that makes me smile. It’s always so lovely to see the love of a developer for their game. This is what makes indies, indies, in my opinion. They have a particular soul and heart in them every time, and that’s just *a chef’s kiss* Extra star for being able to pet the animal you choose as a companion at the beginning! ^_^

A blow of nostalgia to the gut

This game aesthetic definetelly brings you back to your youth, at least for the folks who grow up in the 80s and 90s. It fits here, a Good Old Game made today. You can see immediatelly the game looks just like an old Pokemon Game Boy game, the battle system is bassically the same, but doing his own thing and story. Right in the start there's tons of dark and silly humour, a good chunk of immature jokes all around. I fell in love of it from the beggining, pretty fun to play and remminiscent. But I have a warning, though the game is not very long, I complete it in around 25-30 hours with 80% of achievements, it does ask for a commitment in the mid-late game. Places and routes grow bigger and you got to grind a lot to level up, I reached over level 320 or so. You also got to know this game is made as an old school old the way, so you can note a few QoL improvements missing, specially navigating between the skills and the inventory, which is HUGE, you got tons of different weapons and skills, and the mechanics of the game compells you to use them to master them and get permanent bonuses. But the game is pretty great, filled with easter eggs and hidden content, the dev is a nice guy who reads input and helps, there's tons of creativity to explore here. I'm thankful this was made and I'm already thinking in people to give it as a gift to enjoy the nostalgia.
