Climbing fun with friends

they hate me when i run off tho

First off all, its a Gatcha game so watch out, dont give it any money

Aside from that, it is a very solid rougelike, if it get a bit repadative. You race your horses, watch their story, make them stronger in a method simalar to monster rancher, then use those completed horses to make your next horses stronger. Getting a good run is tough early one, but with time (and plenty of free horse gems) you can makes you horses the best horses around

Story is ok, the characters are not too simalar to each other, and having a unique story for each one, with differnt races to win. Theres also friendship points to your horses, with story about how you meet your horse. Its good and fun, and made me intersted to see the other umamsume stuff out there

I did not spend any money on it, and with investment and free gifts, i got a lot of rare horses and buffed theire skills.

In short a good game play loop, and i got 177 hours out of it before I had enough, and i was no where near done to being completed. 6/10

A very solid hacknslashish platformer rpg. The music is beautiful in places and high energy in others, the plot is intersting, if a bit confusing at times, A real fun time all the way thorough!

Before i get to the bood part, i should prefice this with part i didn't like
-the plot is kinda eh. like it all makes sense and connected, and does have some surprising twists, but its just ok
-a practice mode for the moves would have been nice. I speant most of the game not knowing how to time one party members regualr attack and anothers healing move properly
-the 2 main characters are unfortunelty lacking in regard to personaily. everyone else in your party has something going for them, but zale and Valere are both copies of each other and are mostly "guys we gotta do this" or "woah this is bad' (fixed kinda in the DLC where theres more stuff to them
-can't flee combact/ this is moslty and issue during back tracking and when you got some of the higher difficulty modes on but yeah a bit annoying

also this is technically connected to the devs previous game "the messenger" but its not nessercary to play to understand whats happening. Mostly some lore stuff or referneces, you can enjoy this game without it

But in general, this game rules. The music always get stuck in my head. the Combact is allways intersting (no random encounters AND each fight is custom made for each encounter). the sprite work is beutiful and engaging. Party members all feel a lot different, both in use in combact, but also in personaitly. even a very late game party member fits in quite well with the team and fills a spot you didn't even know what was missing

I am going to get into combact a bit here. The game updated last time i played it, mostly with the lock system, that i havent super expereinced with out side the dlc and then final boss, but form what i have seen it mostly the same.

You got timed hits, you got some postional skill where you chose to hit could hit other enemies. You got a combact system that not only rewards, but forces aggresion AND makes a regualr attack still feel great even in the late game. also the numbers never really go higher than 3 digets most of the time (in the DLC its not going higher that 130 ever) for all you low number gamers out there. Every skill has a use, every fight can be a puzzle, every area is something to learn its great.

Pick it up! Dlc is free!!!! even when the games not on sale its at a gooooood price!!!! (you gotta beat the game normally first to get it...and the end reward for it isn't super helpful for the main game so you aint missing out on much. Final boss ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ kick ass so its still worth it when you get there)

i wish i was a better speller....

A simple, but beuatiful game

The dice mechanic and the constant risk of dying from your own obelence, and the struggles and worries of everyone, added onto station being on the verge of colapse. 8 hours is a perfect length for this game. Very excited for the sequel!

Its like the other issac game but different

(honestly i liked the way this game looked more that the new one)

feeeeeeeshing!

honestly a bit of a mess at times, but pretty fun
the glith gun is a intersting idea, and the pixel art is fantastic. some of the secret area entrance locations being random kinda sucks amd makes it hard to tell if you are doing the right thing but its alright

1. Its free
2. the writting is solid
3- its not that long
4-portal lore?????? increadable
