Look it sufffers from every point and click in exitence where you click every inch of the screen and mash things together in order to figure out what works HOWEVER no soft locking and pretty smooth sailing. Recommend a guide if stuck cause again you might have a solution overlooked in a group of pixels and there are no rewards bfor banging your head against a brick wall hours at a time.
You will need a basic guide to get through it so you are not wondeing around aimlessly and I mean basic as most solutions to problems are simply "go to this sector to pick up x item for y solution" however it has elements that improve over other RPG experiences. LIMITED Random encounters. Each sector has only so many badies before it is emptied and you are free to roam. That alone is a huge plus. I have yet to find any way to soft lock the game like many adventure games generally have. Major gripe is a lot of key items are simply bought in villages, so unlike a lot of adventure games there isn't any pixel hunting, just running to point a to b to c to solve the puzzle in a sort of thing which is also good in the sense you won't be racking your brain over anything but without the puzzle element you wouldn't be spending much time in hoboken. There is some nostalgia goggles here but thing is you won't find many games like this that are functional and stick out more compared to the usual games that are repeatedly promoted as classics. There are very few interactive stories that have such a tongue in cheekness about them. It's too risky now to spend 50 million and 5 years on a "funny video game" I say 3/5 stars is worth playing so take that for what it is.
when you want a challenge
this is more entertaining then playing the game itself belive me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuH3AdcVwfk&list=PLo4M1tlpv9rsM6Qb70XLqsPK6iAXluwQ2
no updated controls and no way to modify them this game has not aged well. IT is almost unplayable like the original tomb raider games if you are looking for a comparison I just don't have the patience for this kind of stuff any more.
Good game, not worth the price. There are no enhancements, no save states, in fact hitting escape will reset the entire game. Though the controls and workings of the game seem to be fixed compared to what you find in a rom, you might be better off sticking with that since even a genesis emulator will do better then this.
Alright so there are some questions I have as to the difference of what we see in Cat Lady compared to what we see in Downfall, that aside this is a nice tie in which I played through here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tio5DWzQBw Some bad very bad voice acting in the beginning but hey you are on a budget, you work with what you got even if it's only the random kids you picked up off the street. Get past that and you have a psychological horror you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else. I do have some off putting feelings though near the end when it comes to the story, all that aside it is worth the money support and time.
Buy the game and experience it yourself but preferably it's much more entertaining to watch the Retsuprae play through and save your money because It hasn't even been a year since I went through that and all I can remember is "My engines my engines!"
