About Weirdlands

Weirdlands is a single player tactical role playing game with a anime theme. It was developed by mejak and was released on December 7, 2024. It received overwhelmingly positive reviews from players.

A charmingly quirky RPG where you catch and fuse spirits you fight, and layer by layer reveal deep, intricate lore. This single-player, turn-based RPG has a deceptively simple exterior, but within lie complexity and depth. It's bright and it's dark, it's witty and it's silly, and it's one of a kind.

story14 positive mentions
grinding5 negative mentions
  • Charming and unique art style with an engaging, well-written story that improves significantly during the New Game+ playthrough.
  • Innovative creature collection and combat system that rewards strategic thinking and customizing monster allies, combined with enjoyable puzzles and exploration.
  • Strong replayability due to two distinct storylines and meaningful changes in the second playthrough, supported by an active developer who listens to community feedback.
  • Limited soundtrack with few songs and some areas lacking music, which affects the atmosphere.
  • Some gameplay elements such as combat can feel unbalanced or monotonous, and the fishing mechanic is buggy and not well-received.
  • Navigation frustrations due to lack of an in-game map, slow travel paths, occasional obtuse puzzle clues, and some plotlines or characters feeling underdeveloped or abruptly ended.

  • story

    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    56% positive mentions, 32% neutral mentions, 12% negative mentions

    The story is widely praised for its dual playthrough structure, with a distinctive new game plus that enriches and deepens the narrative. It combines intriguing mysteries, emotional depth, and well-integrated lore, making the storytelling compelling and essential to the overall experience. While some find minor plotlines abrupt or character missions underdeveloped, most appreciate the engaging world, meaningful progression, and the way puzzles and secrets tie into the story.

    • “The story is really cool and you get two stories for the price of one as the New Game Plus is completely different.”
    • “In the first playthrough you're a summoner who forces spirits into conscription, and in the second, a witch who befriends them; both playthroughs are necessary to get the whole story and truly "beat" the game.”
    • “What makes the story so engaging is that every time you get close to solving one mystery, another opens up.”
    • “I found the story a little generic but that may be down to my own RPG fatigue.”
    • “A lot of plot lines seem to cut abruptly.”
    • “You'd expect that they'd care about you and your progress along the journey, give you a lot of missions, etc., but essentially the only meaningful task you do for them specifically is unclogging the toilet and finding a crowbar?”

  • gameplay

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    23% positive mentions, 54% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers unique encounter mechanics based on soil types and combines combat with exploratory puzzles that encourage experimentation, providing charm despite sometimes lacking mechanical complexity. While combat is straightforward, the inclusion of a new game+ mode adds variety and depth. Overall, it’s an engaging indie JRPG that grows more enjoyable as players learn its systems.

    • “Interesting encounter mechanics: encounters are determined by the type of soil you're standing on.”
    • “There's also a New Game+ mode that continues the story and changes up gameplay mechanics in a big way, which is very cool.”
    • “I can't wait for more content and the full game release. It did take me a bit to learn the game mechanics and menus, but once I understood it, I couldn't put the game down.”
    • “There isn't anything stopping you from massively overpreparing and maximizing some or all of your stats, which is tempting, but obviously removes a lot of depth from the gameplay.”
    • “Combat mechanics is fine, nothing exciting.”
    • “I'm a bit mixed on the gameplay.”

  • music

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    36% positive mentions, 37% neutral mentions, 27% negative mentions

    The music in the game is generally praised for being catchy and enhancing the atmosphere, but it is notably limited in quantity, with only a few tracks and large portions of the game being silent. Despite its sparse soundtrack, the existing music effectively supports the game's vibe and overall experience.

    • “The aesthetics are such a vibe, the music is great, the battles are fun, and the exploration really hits the spot.”
    • “The art style and character designs are both appealing and unique, while the music creates a particular vibe that strengthens the feeling of the environment.”
    • “Between the witty dialogue and lovely music, this game has captured and held my attention extremely well so far.”
    • “Music is also a bit of a weak point, with only a handful of sparsely-instrumented tracks.”
    • “There are 3 or 4 soundtracks; half of the game is silent.”
    • “Well, in the sections that have music, some tracks were not ready for launch.”

  • graphics

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's graphics are widely praised for their charming, unique, and appealing art style, which enhances the overall atmosphere and complements the creative monster designs. The visuals evoke a nostalgic, Nintendo DS-era RPG vibe and contribute significantly to the immersive and enjoyable experience.

    • “The story, the puzzles, the creatures, the adorable graphics - there is so much to love.”
    • “The art style and character designs are both appealing and unique, while the music creates a particular vibe that strengthens the feeling of the environment.”
    • “The unique monsters come with a lot of different designs which complement the art style of the game, showing how much the developer has thought out the monster setups.”

  • grinding

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is generally manageable and balanced, with most content accessible through exploration and basic leveling; while some end-game challenges may require dedicated grinding, overall progression is not overly grindy. Additionally, recent patches and accessibility options allow players to adjust the difficulty to reduce grinding if desired.

    • “- Level progression seems kind of broken, as by the end of the game, there is one superboss that you're unlikely to kill without some dedicated grinding or fishing, while all the other fights become basically trivial, including two canonical end-game bosses.”
    • “The start can feel a little grindy but the grind isn't like extremely hard or anything; you get experience points for pretty much everything you do and it only costs 100 per point to level up your stats, with only 3 stats to level.”
    • “It can be a bit grindy, but that's totally okay (especially when the last patch added difficulty to make the game less grindy for those who don't want too much of it).”

  • replayability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game offers excellent replayability, enhanced by a "new game +" mode that provides additional content and incentives for multiple playthroughs.

    • “Great replayability!”
    • “And there is even a 'New Game +' mode for added replayability value.”

  • stability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game generally runs smoothly, but some users have reported occasional glitches during fishing, particularly when encountering rare fish.

  • atmosphere

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The atmosphere effectively conveys a sense of doom, though it can feel somewhat empty at times, which reinforces the overall mood.

  • character development

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users appreciate the appealing and unique character designs, noting that the art style effectively enhances the game's atmosphere. The accompanying music further reinforces the mood, contributing to a cohesive and immersive character experience.

  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor is quirky and whimsical, similar to The Owl House, but it is less bizarre and more gentle, avoiding aggressive jokes.
