The fun combat and dialogue aren’t fun enough to make DON’T GIVE UP: A Cynical Tale stand out. It’s difficult not to compare a game that looks like this to Undertale, but even throwing that comparison out the window, this adventure is lacking.
Get on Steam"DON'T GIVE UP: A Cynical Tale" is a humorous, pixel-art RPG about a jaded hero, Tristan, who sets out to save the world from impending doom. Along the way, he'll encounter quirky characters, face challenging battles, and uncover the power of friendship and self-belief. The game features a unique, text-based combat system and a satirical narrative that pokes fun at classic RPG tropes.
