Reviews for "The DEGENING"

This genuinely kept me engaged much longer than I expected it to. The art reminds me a bit of Amoeba Amoeba. The battle music was short and annoying and I wish you picked something else. It threw me for a loop that the arrows to navigate the map were all at an angle. Especially for the first section in the old folks home I found myself backtracking when I didn't mean to. The simpler level design later was fine though.

Balance-wise it's pretty simple - dump all your points into power for Orderly and Party Goer and into Energy for Priest and you'll be fine (though at first I was scared to use stat points because I didn't want to make a bad build on accident, especially since there's no way to level grind.) There's no real reason not to use your strong attacks first so the cooldown expires sooner, or to take on an offensive build so as to spend fewer turns receiving damage. On perhaps one occasion I noticed an enemy that had such high defense that I needed energy attacks to beat it, and seeing enemies that summoned more enemies enough times taught me to prioritize those.

That being said it was still complex enough that I had to retry a couple fights and learn the different enemies and abilities.

I didn't really understand the plotline. I saw that the enemies were furries and what looked like feminists, but it wasn't clear if there was an actual narrative or if the game was trying to make some kind of political statement, and it was particularly bad that you could acquire party members and not even know it until you entered battle.

Jin responds:

Very nice! Appreciate the substantial feedback! I'll use it to improve the game.

Fucking peak game. The only bad thing is that even if I click on a voucher, I don't get it

Jin responds:

Try clicking on it 20% harder.

very fun

10/10 Gameplay
Lore and humor? questionable

I knew that going into new grounds while listen to Blue Danube Waltz was a good idea
