Walk with the Living

A fun little free SRPG that you can complete within a few hours. I wish there were sound effects, and I wish my units turned "grey" after taking their turn (like they do in other SRPG Studio games). Nonetheless, it's overall a solid experience. There's quite a bit of replay value because of all the dialogue options/choices you can make, resulting in different characters joining you. So even if it's only a 10-chapter-long SRPG, there's a decent amount of content. Especially for a free game.

Very charming game. You get a lot for what is a free game. 11 chapters with a diverging path. Battles might require a few trials and errors, but you can save between turns so its nbd. Controls are a bit funky tho. Especially love all the queer characters. Worth a play if you have an OG Fire Emblem itch to scratch. Looking forward to the sequel.

I don't have a lot of words to say. The game really leaves me in such a state. Play it - it's free and it's worth your time. If you're traumatized or queer, it's [i]super[/i] worth your time. I'll be posting some lyrics I've composed below - beware that it contains spoilers for the end of the game. [spoiler] A heart-wrenching love story can be about a man, a skeleton brought back to life, to do what he can. To give your life for the one you loved, for the man he still is, To find a new family that you've wanted since you were a kid. And it can be about the siblings who don't always know what's true, A queen and her knight together at last, like a wish upon the blue. Or maybe the selfish choices we make when all would seem it's lost, And the sacrifices we must make, the guilt that makes us talk. And it can be about the ways we learn to live, the first time or the second, and all we have to give... The numbness that sets itself upon the throne of grief, And the stories we all tell, which would seem beyond belief.[/spoiler]

listen my guys... fix the controls! they are absolutely counter intuitive

I'm shocked at how good this game is and how little people are talking about it. By keeping the scope of the game pretty small, they managed to make it insanely replayable and fast paced. Your decisions on and off the battlefield have genuine consequences that did tempt me to give the game a second whirl. If I had to be critical, I would have liked to have one or two extra equipment slot per character. Trading items around and managing the convoy is a little bit tedious when you're testing out different held items. But honestly, for the price (free!!! that's absurd), the level of competency on display is super high and you'll have an enjoyable evening or two's worth of gameplay. I might just have to check out Walk with the living 2 soon, now...

Neat concept, with okay gameplay. Though the game is really pushing it with lack of the male character designs. They all look gay, and I mean that literally.
