Shadows of Adam

Short and sweet, Shadows of Adam is an easy recommendation for a solid, lean RPG that you can finish in a few sittings.

O jogo tem uma ambientação muito boa, uma pixel art bem feita (com exceção dos personagens ao meu ver), o combate na maioria das vezes é rápido e satisfatório, mas em outros momentos é uma demora letárgica e sem graça (ter que refazer o mesmo boss 4 vezes que usa habilidade de desviar é só chato), a música é bem agradável, soundtrack sólida ao longo do jogo. Que Shadows of Adam é fortemente inspirado em jrpgs clássicos isso é bem óbvio, o nome da desenvolvedora que fez já diz tudo, porém pessoalmente a linha entre paródia sem graça e só inspiração é tênue demais pra mim, as semelhanças e "inspirações" são tão grandes que o jogo carece de uma indentidade própria, ao final preferiria ter passado meu tempo jogando os jogos que o precederam. Me entristece dizer que não conseguiria recomendar o jogo para ninguém, não chamaria de ruim, mas ao mesmo tempo não acho que ele justifique o tempo investido em nenhum momento (~10h), infelizmente foi uma decepção.

This is a simple short RPG that i believe targets a younger audience as some of the writing/ conversations between the characters are kiddy. Nevethless, i am surprise that a normal mobs can be quite hard and you cannot keep using the same attackes for every mobs. Can be finished in less than 20 hrs if you did not go around performing extra stuffs. Purchase on a sale. I give it a 7/10.

Oh man, I really wanted to like this game but the juvenile dialogue really kills the story and character development. The developer is clearly inspired by games like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI, but fumbled on the execution of what made those games great. Overall, it's a disappointment.

If you're really looking for a throwback JRPG, this is just fine. There's some interesting light puzzling to find hidden treasures and some varied skills among the party members. The story and dialogue don't hold up their end, however.

I was looking for a little palate cleanser RPG to play between some other lengthier games I've been playing. And seeing people call this title a "short and sweet RPG" made me want to give it a try. I did not enjoy this game at all. I played it all the way through, and was bored the whole time. The story wasn't interesting at all, I didn't care about the characters or anything going on the entire time. The fighting system was so repetitive and annoying, the only saving grace in this game was there are no random encounters. I was also really annoyed I had to buy the DLC in order for this game to work on the Steam Deck (yeah, the base game doesn't load on SD, but when you have the DLC it works.) The DLC really should have just been content they added into the game, it wasn't anything that added value to the game, just some lame filler. I was looking forward to playing the next RPG this developer has made "Quartet," but after playing this game, I'll be passing.

A terrific game for the price, would highly recommend if you crave some turn based combat. It's somewhat similar to Final Fantasy Mystic Quest for the SNES, but with more characters and options.

The story is simple but wholesome and interconnected. Mechanics are quite oldschool, although there is active in-fight mana restoration, that is occasionally annoying because some fight tend to end before the replensih happens. A lot of box pushing puzzles, maybe a bit too much in the later dungeons, that drag for quite some time. The game also felt too linear until the flying ship point and DLC content, DLC was really good btw. Some actually challenging fights and world openness were great additions, relquary system was a big imrpovement for the very limited accessory slots. Generally peformed well but I stumbled on a hardlock during one of minecart sections, it should be a good idea to save often.
