Just got through a decent chunk of the current version here on itch.io.
PC and Android work well.
No game breaking stuff yet and it seems easy enough to traverse areas.
The game is playable and interesting, but as a returning player from the original, this game is definitely not the same.
From the game mechanics to the world itself they are different. The artstyle change really is distracting and not in good way. The old game was easier on the eyes and simpler to me in several ways that made it easier to play.
Unlike in the original where you are presented choices to traverse the world, this game gives a different kind of map where you spend points for food to travel. The world is very different as people are more aware of the supernatural, unlike the original where no one had any real clue, that and the original had more secrets to uncover because the world was so in the dark which definitely made it feel like you were really going into the unknown.
The one plot line stemming from your character returning to get revenge or seek justice, or the new option seeking the truth, is really the only thing that seems the same so far.
Most of everything else is different, which makes this more like a FINAL FANTASY 7 REMAKE though not as playable. Emma works at a resort you are staying at as a cleaner which is not how we originally met, Jessica is trying to distance herself from the Institute before we are even involved, the Institute is now in open view of the public as diplomats for humanity, so much is different now that any experiences you like about the old game are mostly gone. This version honestly feels like a warped reality based on things from the original.
I honestly understand that when code gets messy you need to start over to make it work, but the whole game feels and looks different to the point that the two are not the same. I can't even look at some of these characters because of the change in their looks, their faces especially. The noses, god, the noses, your character waking up to see directly in front of you a wierd looking nose staring you in the face, not as funny as you think.
I still have the old game with saves for every plot point and hidden encounters. Way to much feels different and instead of it feeling like this new version is adding on, it just seems to shove aside everything to replace it entirely with things that I don't recognize.
This version currently, CKv0.2.1, is not the Corrupted Kingdoms I enjoyed so much and waited to see get a continuation. Way to much has changed for it to be the same at all.
