I was searching for something my entine life. I never knew what it was or why I was looking for it, but I kept going. I'd sometimes lose hope because of my fruitless search. But in the end, I always stood up and walked on, because I knew that my something, my precious, was within my grasp.
Then I stumbled upon this game. I knew it. This was it. My whole life has led me to this one moment. To playing RE/COUNT RE:VERSE. Once I pressed play for the very first time, an umaginable wave of joy overflooded me. I cried, I laughed, I commited tax evasion. I was so happy. This game was such a masterpiece. This game IS such a masterpiece. Thank you. I finally found my precious, after all these years. I can finally live in peace.
I loved it. I meant to play this a long while back I'm glad I got to finally play it now. I found this game through El.Seth. I loved the punniest pun mester.
Edit: This game on its own was pretty good. The golden ending reminds me of Time Hollow for the DS now that I think about it.
I've been looking
forward to this for months, and you've delivered. Of course I procrastinated
actually playing it for a few days, but hey, it meant playing the bugfixed
version.
The graphics didn't
blow me away, but the character portraits were pretty nice and the world
sprites (stock RPG Maker?) did their job well enough. Voice acting is always an
instant +5 to perceived production value. The story was surprisingly
engrossing- I remembered it being slow to start but this time around it drew me
right in. I wanted to figure out the mystery (even though it was mostly pretty
obvious) and change everyone's fate. I was invested in the characters and the
world, and it had emotional impact.
At the same time it
falls into a really weird space in my mind. It was originally made for SBIG
Jam; I felt it missed the mark then and it misses the mark now. Even knowing a
lot of the choices were deliberate, it feels more like an earnest and promising
but frustratingly flawed game than one that's good because it's bad. The dodgy
environments, lack of challenge, odd memes and overall jank detract from the
experience more than they add to it. I'm not entirely sure if it's related but
the story also didn't quite come
together.
Don't get me wrong,
I still enjoyed the game immensely. I was up way
later than I should have playing through each path. It just felt kind of
weighed down throughout my playthrough. Still, I'm looking forward to what you bring out next!
EDIT: Also, history marches on, and now that title really has some, um, connotations.
Thank you for playing the full version! I am happy you enjoyed it, despite its flaws. Haha, you find it in a weird place of not being bad enough but more like a game that doesn't quite reach? I do admit, I tend to go for that flavor, and I won't lie that I have come to love this little world I created and may make another game based in Terrene, exploring the other regions and having characters of the other races briefly mentioned with some cameos from our heroes, haha. But yes, I do agree it can seem odd and not all coming quite together, but that is sort of done on purpose.
Anyway, thank you for the very thoughtful review! It helps me strive to do better next time in some areas, although for SBIG perhaps I have to actually dial it back... lol.
