I'm not going to lie - at first I didn't expect much from it. Had that title on my "To Do"-list for years but somehow assumed it was just some generic run-off-the-mill fantasy RPG with cute animals and not much else.
Boy, was I wrong. Such a charming little gem of a game. The story had some interesting twists that actually surprised me, which is something I hadn't experienced in a very long time. The characters are charming, some of them a bit quirky, but still manage to feel genuine. There's both rich lore AND some tongue-in-cheek humor within the story, without either one feeling forced or out of place.
All in all, I really enjoyed it. My only "complaint" is that it is a bit short, but since they have a super tiny indie dev team, one can't rightfully expect the same story length or map size as the ones made by big studios with hundreds of employees.
I actually regret not having played it sooner and I am stoked for the sequel. ;)
Frankly? I'm quietly hoping they connect with the team behind Mouse Guard and bring that incredible world to video gaming! I mean, c'mon, there's already an RPG system for it and everything. ππΌπ€πβοΈπ¦
