I own this game on steam and let me say, it is a very priced possession of mine. Just the pure amount of content and quality is incredible! Truly. I have yet to leave a review on steam (I'd like to finish all the routes first) and I will definetly reccomend it!
There are a few kinks of the game that made me kind of annoyed (although the pros heavily outweigh the cons) so I thought I'd dive into them first. They are not dealbreakers.
Okay, first the one that made me drop the game for a while before actually picking it up again was the stark differences between the CG and the sprites. All of the characters sprites are very stiff, I would've liked to see them have a more "comfortable" stances, they came across as neutral which isn't really something you want when you have limited time to show off the characters personality.
Secondly, the plot and story has a very good pace, however the romance does not. It moves way too quickly and by the time we meet Omen everybody practically loves us! That's what actually made me put down the game because what do you mean Alkar the big bad wolf who have been abused his entire life by enforcers feel completely safe with us?
It very much bothered me how the player is so loved immediately, also how we come across as weak in the beginning but later turn into the worlds most hardcore Hunter. If we truly were I would've liked to see more angst from the monsters and more convincing from our side.
What I'm trying to say is that the characters are awesome but we are NOT. We are a flat and generic MC who I wish could get reworked sometime!
Now onto the PROS! A great and lucious game that SPARKED my imagination, I love how every interaction with the characters feel special and giving. My boy Ezra definetly needs more boundries. I wish Omen and Alkar could've gotten more screentime without having to romance them. I kinda dispice Omen, I don't know whyyyy! This is what I mean when I say it's a good game, you can't truly love it if you can't dislike it. The voices are wonderful and I loved how the story panned out after I romanced Finn.
(I'm sorry for my misspellings and if my review came off as particularly harsh... it is a wonderful game and I am very proud to have it in my possession. I can see and feel just how much effort was put into this game and I would buy it ten times more as support if I had the money to! Looking forward to checking if you have any more releases or upcoming ones! THANK YOU for having created this game!!!!)
