Signy & Mino: Against All Gods

A spiritual successor to Paper Mario with an Australian Shepherd. The game has a lot going for it: a solid combo system, great art direction, a granny that will beat the hell out of you. It's certainly worth the opening price for those on the fence. It allows a degree of modification of abilities. It encourages exploration (mostly). There are a few downsides. Chiefly, the difficulty. I haven't yet beaten the game so idk if there's something to change there, but it's extremely easy overall. Parry nullifies everything, and the window for it is frankly too large. There's no reason to upgrade any other defense. There's also a chance to get stuck in level geometry and lose progress. You can only save at certain points, which is perfectly fine in itself. The issue is if you hop into the wrong spot, you're soft-locked and have to reload. I lost 25 minutes of gameplay after hopping on the far side of a vase on Althea Island that it tells you to hop on. A simple unstuck button could fix this, or perhaps in time the developer will fix these spots. That said, the pros vastly outweigh the cons and I happily recommend this. Get it while the discount is hot!

While beta testing the game was already fun. Buy the game --- it's even more fun now on release!

There is going to be a lot of criticism here but so I want to clarify that I loved this game. This is the second game ever where I have been so excited for a game that I bought it the day it released. I was worried that combat would get boring but they constantly introduce new mechanics and enemy abilities that keep it interesting most of the way through. My biggest criticism is that I was mostly just expecting more. While I don’t regret it, $16 is a little higher than I would have expected for a game of this length. It’s also fairly easy. I never died, and the only time I almost did was because I kept switching targets which cost me my health. On the topic of that, the fact switching targets costs health never really made sense to me. It didn’t feel like a deterrent, nor did I feel like I was risking much by doing it. Parries also are too strong, I thought I would need to combine jumps and parries but they just counter everything. The timing on them is very lenient as well. The final boss especially was a bit lackluster, as I wasn’t even sure if the game was over at that point. Its main gimmick is quite underwhelming and doesn’t really change much of anything, so I did pretty much the same combo each move with maybe a different starting 2 moves. This was the only time the combat felt a little boring. Overall the game was pretty fun. I would probably tell my past self to wait for a discount if I was considering buying it.

really fun and fresh take on the rpg combat style and like that there are a bunch of movies that can combo into each other. My only Con is that its very forgiving on the combo timing and i found the games overall difficulty to be very easy, but i would still recommend it because it was fun

A few hours in, and I'm absolutely hooked. The story is well written, the art approach is crisp, clean, and gentle on the eyes, and the soundtrack is really well made. The gameplay, though, is SUPER fun. the amount of thought that had to go into figuring out how to get the combos to work together is mind breaking if you think too much about it - it's fluid, complex, and allows you to continuously beat the ever living garbage out of enemies in very interesting ways. I'm almost 3 hours in and already look forward to seeing how the story unfolds. An absolute STEAL at this price point, too. Highly Recommend if you want something fresh in the RPG world.

fun little indie game!

Just finished my full playthrough of the game and wow! The gameplay was always fun and progressive, the artwork was great, the story was interesting enough, and the ending was pretty satisfying! I was waiting for this game to come out for a while and it did not disappoint!
