The Use of Life

“The gameplay is simple to grasp but difficult to master; each of the four paths differ in tone as well as result.”

“It was a challenging game and the progression was a delight to explore and tinker with; abilities, stats, and even choices throughout the story can change your character’s gameplay style significantly. Every encounter was fresh, fun, and nail-biting.”

“The combat gameplay and RPG elements have strong appeal and replayability; the combat is incredibly satisfying and makes you feel powerful yet not unstoppable. Difficulty settings provide a good balance between challenge and accessibility.”

“The OST of this game is amazing; almost every track is great.”

“The variety is alright with a couple of emotional pieces and the battle music is quite pleasant with the fast variation during enemy rage phases not being a mere sped-up remake but a completely different rendition of the same song, giving a sense of urgency.”

“This game is beautiful, the music, the art, the story, it all makes for one of the best RPG experiences I've ever played.”

“The art style is lovely and fits amazingly with everything, overall 9/10 definitely check it out.”

“The art style is great, very clean and consistent throughout the game.”

“Artwork, especially character sprites, are amazing, even if a bit inconsistent in art style sometimes.”

“The game has multiple character classes with combinations allowing for multiple advanced character classes alongside multiple endings for good replay value.”

“Overall, with its replay value and pretty enjoyable and digestible story length, this game is well worth the asking price whether or not you plan on playing multiple times.”

“The combat gameplay and RPG elements have strong appeal and replayability; the combat is incredibly satisfying and makes you feel powerful yet not unstoppable, with difficulty settings offering a good balance between challenge and accessibility.”

“While I very much like the story and consider it well thought out, emotional, and player choice being impactful despite the lack of clarity about what your actions will do a lot of the time.”

“This game made me cry and any game that makes me cry I list extremely highly since in order to make someone cry through writing alone that is a feat in of itself.”

“The cast is well written, and it's hard not to get attached to your companions, leading to some very heartfelt conclusions (from tearjerking to shocking to wholesome and then some).”

“I like the character designs; they are different from most games I play, and the design direction actually impacts the game because the characters constantly refer to the different races and how they impact the world they are in.”

“Great story and character development.”

“Story has promise as well; character development seemed to be at the forefront of the developers' minds.”

“It isn't afraid to bring some levity in, or to bring some cuteness to this journey of horrific revenge, and skillfully uses the humor so you're never in too dark a place.”

“Still, I think it's really funny I watched my boyfriend try to do the extreme hoard fight in chapter 1, over and over, use up all his retry chances, and then be sent to the start of the chapter... maybe it ain't so bad of a mechanic after all. But yeah, generally, I think most reasonable people won't have an issue with it, given how many retries you get, plus it resetting with each chapter's short rest, plus getting 10 on each chapter boss; I just find it odd it's even there in the first place.”

“And the game over transition screen is extremely unintentionally funny with how low-budget it looks.”

“Combining a magical story, thrilling gameplay, and atmospheric music!”

“I usually don't mind much RPG stories (yeah, I know it's weird, sorry). I play them almost exclusively for gameplay, strategy; at most, I care about atmosphere. The story here is simple, not something never seen, but brings to the table a good amount of mystery and focal points.”
