Taina's Cursed Legacy

Taina's Cursed Legacy is a game that I found interesting because it takes a very simple text based RPG format and uses it to build a dark fantasy story around my choices. I play as a young girl with fiery hair who is born in a black hut near a graveyard, and from there I am left to decide what kind of person she becomes. The Slavic folklore influence gives the whole thing a different atmosphere from the usual fantasy adventure, and I liked how quickly the story establishes that my decisions are going to matter. The biggest part of the game is obviously the choices. I am constantly deciding how Taina should behave, whether she should be kind, selfish, wild or somewhere in between. There is not really one obvious way that I am supposed to play her, which I enjoyed because I could make decisions based on the kind of character I wanted to create. Some choices also lead me towards different situations, relationships and outcomes, so it feels like I am actually shaping her life rather than just selecting dialogue to move the story forward. I also liked the nonlinear structure. The game gives me room to explore different possibilities instead of forcing everything into one fixed sequence. This works particularly well with the multiple endings because I can make different choices and see how Taina's story changes. I found myself wondering what would happen if I had made a different decision earlier, which is exactly the kind of curiosity I want from a choice driven adventure. The dark fantasy setting is another strong point for me. There is a mixture of magic, mystery, supernatural elements and Slavic folklore running through the story, and the hand drawn presentation helps give it a more personal feeling. I liked the contrast between the fairly simple text based format and the darker subject matter. It creates an atmosphere that feels more like an old folk tale than a traditional fantasy RPG. The relationship side also adds some variety. Taina's interactions with other characters can influence how the story develops, and I enjoyed seeing how my choices affected the way she was treated and the kind of person she became. It makes the game feel more personal than simply picking good or evil options. I could try to help people, look after myself or follow a completely different path, and that freedom is one of the more appealing parts of the experience. My biggest issue is that the text based format will not be for everyone. A lot of the experience depends on reading and making decisions, so anyone looking for traditional RPG combat or a huge explorable world is probably going to be disappointed. I also think some of the choices could have had more obvious consequences, because there were moments when I was not completely sure how much influence a particular decision would have until much later. The presentation is charming, but it is also quite basic. Overall, I think Taina's Cursed Legacy is a good little choice driven RPG that does a lot with a relatively simple format. I liked shaping Taina's personality, exploring the dark Slavic fantasy setting and seeing how different choices could lead the story in completely different directions. It is not the kind of RPG I would play for combat or complex character builds, but that is not really what it is trying to be. It is much more about the story, the atmosphere and the feeling that my decisions are shaping Taina's fate, and I think it does that well. Rating: 6.6/10
