Pixel Noir

Game had a lot of bug, had to uninstall eventually because I was stuck in the sprawl section and could not go out. Place was 100% bugged (moving around the map and spawning at random places, npc dissapearing, slow af ladders. Almost all the save files were corrupted, i gave up eventually...

Don't listen to any of those negative reviews! They have no idea what a good game is. It really disappoints me to see this game not get more love. ( Watch me play it at: https://www.youtube.com/@4Itchy4EVER ) This is a GREAT game! Would've been an instant hit if it were released back in the PS1/Saturn days. To sum it up; it's basically Shadowrun on the Genesis/SNES but even better in my opinion (more like the SNES version considering the combat system). Worth every penny and even though I'm not done with the game yet... I already can't wait for part II. Support this developer because I think what they made here is what the industry is missing. Great story telling without ideological agendas Great Gameplay Great Music and Sound Great Atmosphere Great Backgrounds Superb Art Style Good Combat System - Could've been a little quicker but I still love it Minor Complaints: 1. I don't really like the way the characters are drawn when it shows their actual picture. It's WAY too catoonish... needs grit for a game like this. Not a big deal. I'm used to JRPG stuff but I would've went with a more Sega Genesis/SNES look from the old Shadowrun games. 2. There needs to be a sound to indicate when you actually hit the dodge button at the right time. There's no way to know so you're not sure if you pressed it at the right time or not. A sound would help. Maybe there can be a sound for when you dodge perfectly, another sound when you partially dodged it... and another sound if you just got touched a little. 3. The combat could be a little faster. Buy IT!

Backed this game on Kickstarter back in 2015. So very happy that it is finally out! Been loving the game so far. Gameplay is great, sound and graphics are stellar, and overall, Pinnacle City has such a good, dark feel. Can't wait to see more of the game.

the game keeps you wanting more the devs are FUN if you find a bug theyll kill it fast

Overrated basic on the rails Genesis RPG with a somewhat interesting story however in the year 2024 is gravely underwhelming.

The bugs are finally fixed! I don't normally write reviews, but since this one is getting hammered for bugginess, I wanted to put this up to notify you that it's safe to play now. It's actually a pretty good game, especially for an indie game. I liked the stories, the characters were intriguing, the side quests were fun and interesting. It definetely captures that noir vibe and personality. The combat is hard in the beginning, but as you get your character set up it gets a lot more fun. I had to stop playing for more than a month because of a bug, but when I went back in, I actually remembered who the characters were and the story up to that point, which says a LOT about the writing because my memory is ♥♥♥♥. Overall, I'd give it like an 8, maybe an 8.5 out of 10. It's not the "BEST GAME EVER", but its unique and special and I enjoyed my 27 hours with it.

There is a lot of things I like about this game and again I wish there was a neutral rating to give, but I will be settling for a positive one instead, but only by the smallest of margins. The game has great visuals, fun story, interesting characters and exciting battles as some examples of what is good about this game. However, at the end of the game, the very last chapter, I came across a huge, and I mean HUGE amount of bugs. Some so big, they made the game almost unplayable for me. As the game is right now, I cannot fully recommend it. Whoever you are, reading this short little review, wait a year after this was posted and then check the game out, hopefully your experience will be much more enjoyable than mine. If there were no bugs in this game it would've been a solid 7,5/10, with the bugs however, it goes down to 5,5/10. Hope the devs finish polishing this diamond in the rough.
