About
Pecaminosa is a single player role playing game. It was developed by Cereal Games and was released on May 26, 2021. It received mostly positive reviews from critics and negative reviews from players.
Pecaminosa is a Police Action RPG, based on a Film Noir concept with a Pixel Art aesthetic. As John Souza – a former detective succumbed to the pleasures of alcohol and flesh – you will explore the city and its environs, as well as chase and fight ordinary thieves, smart criminals, and even some forces of… the occult. Pecaminosa is a dark and gambling city that smells of death, sex, and gunpowder…

- The game features great pixel art, a captivating atmosphere, and a smooth soundtrack that enhances the overall experience.
- The narrative is engaging and keeps players invested from start to finish, with intriguing characters and a noir-esque theme.
- The RPG elements and detective work add depth to the gameplay, making it a fun indie experience.
- Boss fights are poorly designed, with some being excessively difficult and potentially game-breaking, leading to frustration.
- Ambiguous riddles and hidden hints can make progression tedious, as players may struggle to recall important information from earlier quests.
- The gameplay can feel repetitive and lacks depth, with limited branching paths and simplistic objectives that detract from the overall experience.
- story8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
The game's story is characterized by a gritty, engaging narrative complemented by detailed pixel graphics, though it suffers from a lack of depth and branching paths, often reducing gameplay to simple tasks. While the noir-style dialogue adds atmosphere, it can become repetitive due to the limited plot development. Overall, players appreciate the entertaining clichés and music, but find the challenging boss fights and vague hints detract from the experience.
“The story of Pecaminosa will grab your attention from start to finish with its deep narrative, and the pixel graphics are pretty detailed as well, making it enjoyable all around!”
“Loved the first episode, with all of the missions, story, etc...”
“A gritty pixel story with top-down combat.”
“Great, you've had that entered in another quest; however, that can be days ago and you can't remember.”
“There is, it seems, only a single quest - go to A, go to B, go to C - with no deviation or branching, no puzzle - you're simply moving left and right and flipping a switch to 'true'.”
“The noir-style speech begins to wear thin when very little overall story or plot appears.”
Pecaminosa – A Pixel Noir Game [Nintendo Switch] | REVIEW
Pecaminosa isn’t the best action-RPG you’ll play, but it is one that certainly feels unique thanks to its slick setting and intriguing narrative. The levelling system and gunplay are neat too, though it can feel a bit sluggish in other elements of its design – especially when it comes to hand-to-hand combat or some of the repetitive objectives. Still, I enjoyed my time with the game and was kept invested right until the very end. Whilst it’s a long way from perfect, Pecaminosa is certainly worth a look if you like action-RPGs that take a different approach to the norm.
