Underhero

Haven't finished it yet, I just got past the second world/chapter/whatever and I already love it. Elizabeth IV is my favorite character so far.

Not a particularly great game but it does a few cool things gameplay and story wise.

I hope they make it back home T_T someday *sobb* the TRUE HEROS

Mothforest: Pros: Der Motten-Bosskampf war mechanisch gut designed. Cons: Die Steuerung für das Platforming wird teilweise gar nicht erklärt (z.B. Gleiten). Die bewegend Platformen sind zu schnell um sie gut zu erreichen. Es gibt sehr wenige Speicherpunkte was die lange Platformpassagen frustierender machen. Die Fliegen-Gegner sind nervig zu treffen. SnowyMansion: Pro: Die Spinnen und Party-Geist Gegner sind mechanisch intereassant designt. Die Rätsel/Platformer-Abschnitte mit der Kerze sind kreativ. Con: Auch nachdem der Schneesturm verschwunden ist, kann man nicht gleiten. Der Bosskampf mit dem Rivale ist ein Albtraum. Obwohl das Kampfsystem soviele Optionen hat muss man Parieren im Kampf oder auf die zufällige Attacke von oben hoffen. Dann steckt der Rivale fest und man kann kurz angreifen. Fazit: Das Spiel ist ein humorvoller Platformer(+Collector) mit einem komplexen Action-RPG-Kampsystem (Paper-Mario) mit einer Energieleiste. Man kann sich leicht verskillen beim Aufleveln. Man kann während der Kämpfe nicht die Lebensanzeige der Gegner sehen. Im Laufe des Spiels die Hints (Zeitpunkt wann Gegner angreift), die Gegner geben immer schlechter. Es gibt Upgrades, die man außerhalb der Welten hinzufügen kann. Das heißt man muss die ganze Welt zurücklaufen, wenn man für einen Boss neue Uprages verwenden möchte.

Overall a very lovely game. One of the best indie games I've ever had the pleasure of playing. It scratches the paper mario itch 10x better than bug fables, and is criminally under-rated. (Haven't played escape from ever after yet) The music is lovely. Admittedly, the chill and the ambient tracks are much better than the bright and peppy ones. The grassland area theme is a bit overbearing and dull, and the jungle theme isn't my favorite. But overall the music is absolutely wonderful. Characters are great. Stitches is an amazing and funny villain. Sword companion I understand people finding annoying at first, but its necessary for them to have character growth. Don't let negative reviews deceive you, if you have any modicum of patience you definitely come around to them by the end of the game. Also [spoiler] the funny butterfly is good. [/spoiler] Story is also wonderful. It doesn't have to be complicated to be good. It has more complexity than the first two paper mario games, maybe less than super paper mario, but that's fine. The artstyle is wonderful. My only complaint is [spoiler] el salsarissimo [/spoiler] looks extremely generic. Other than that everything is lovely. The gameplay is wonderful. The combat is some of the best of any RPG I played. Its engaging but isn't extraordinarily difficult either. It strikes a great balance. The platforming is very fun. Negatives: The ice skating minigame is kinda bad, but it isn't a huge deal. Apparently it isn't programmed correctly to account for different controllers. It definitely messed me up and I thought it was just a steam issue the first time I played. But no its just agnostic to your controller apparently (I could be wrong, the minigame isn't that good regardless). There's two small bugs. Sometimes the camera randomly pans up when talking to enemies. Its weird. Also there's a softlock area you can fall into and lose progress. The one I know of is in the dark maze. I really wish those bugs would be patched but it seems unlikely. There's other things like being in a falling state when jumping on the edge of a moving platformer, or the collision being weird with the portal floor panels, but they don't cause actual issues and are more funny than anything.

It's hekkin cute.
