Reviews for "Phoenotopia"

Pack it in, boys. They'll never top this one.

Like... I cannot think of a single negative comment to make. And I am a bitter, hateful person.

Half-jokes aside, this is seriously it. The mechanics are flawless. The dialogue is brilliantly written (and it's funny! nobody EVER does funny dialogue right!). The visual design is impeccable - Gale is a character you fall in love with on first look, because she just LOOKS like a protagonist. I'm genuinely floored at how the story can progress so far in such a short time - it scales up perfectly from the first "find the villagers!" quest to... well, to the rest. There are tons of twists and turns and they all feel satisfying and - most crucially - they all have PRECEDENT. The amount of, like, Chekhov's Gun planting that you do in the game's earliest stages puts career writers to shame.

Anyway, I could probably spend the next half hour typing up my praise and adulation for this game, but you get the point. Honestly the only thing I like more than this game is the knowledge that an expanded remake is coming.

Just cheeking in to see if second part is out yet =D
thank you for the great game, have most warm memories from playing it.

Huh, I've managed to completely miss this game, but recognized a scene from a screenshot I've seen ages ago. Guess it makes a success, if your game is known outside NG.

Quite great, but...
First up, female-centered plot is really annoying, just breaks immersion for me. Main villain is terribly cliche, could've been better.
Setting is gold tho.
Clunky controls with no option to completely reassign to your liking. Strange.
Some difficulty spikes and unintuitive bosses, I mean the Tower boss here.
A few bugs. I've encountered one.

Overall, mighty great work. Must have been a lot of effort put up into this, my respects.
Let's see how remake and sequel will turn out.

this game is amazing and even though i have not completed it its a 5 star

I remember playing this in middle school, thus I am very nostalgic after playing this game in 2019. I finally made it to the last song.
