Suits: A Business RPG

Suits: A Business RPG

ENGLISH:

Instead of translating my French review, this will do: Suits is an amazing RPG. From the “lore”, to the battles, to the black-and-white universe, to the humor and the characters. I had a blast playing it, getting the achievements, and I’ll do another playthrough often.

FRANÇAIS:

  • voix off *

Un monde en noir et blanc. Où les humains ne sont que de vulgaires engrenages pour la grande machine qu’est le TRAVAIL. Où la justice se règle a coup de pot-de-vin. Où la seule nourriture existante est des sandwichs au goût douteux. (Il y a aussi des hamburgers et des pizzas, mais impossible d’en manger!) Où LE PDJ est le maître suprême. Où être VIRÉ équivaut à la mort.

! (Et devenir un sandwich!) The Guy, un employer dont le numéro est sans intérêt, parviendra-t-il à survivre garder son travail, tout en découvrant les bas secrets de ce monde? VOUS le découvrirez dans Suits : A Business RPG!

This has been a little game I had under my radar for a while mainly because I like RPG Maker games and the business theme looks pretty interesting. Plus it had a similar art style to OFF and while OFF was okay, it’s art was pretty interesting. So is it good?

Story:

In a world where corporations run rampant, companies can bribe to get what they want. women are treated as mere plants that look pretty and the mere act of refusing a product is enough to land you in jail. In this world, you live as a simple drone until events happen that put you in an adventure that might change the world.

REVISED AFTER FINISHING GAME

In my original review where I had only played a few hours, I mainly focused the problem with the combat system. I want to give a more complete review of the game after completing it with all achievements.

Initially, combat primarily involves using ranged attacks and depending upon mana regeneration, where the primarily healing is through potions that have long cooldowns. Melee combat requires precise timing to avoid taking damage until you have more advanced weapons and artifacts. However, once you get further into the game and get better armor, combat is less problematic. There are a few challenging bits in the game, but overall the game becomes easier the more you play. By the end you are able to do effective combos of various moves using different weapons and abilities that make it so you don’t take any damage if you are careful.

Real player with 19.8 hrs in game

Surprisingly, I didn’t just enjoy the game. I loved it and wish I could play more.

First off, Zenith isn’t exactly an action RPG, but a light hack’n’slash. You can engage in close combat or, if your manna allows, magically attack from a distance. There’s no real level up system, you can just equip better armour and weapons, which in turn boost your stamina, manna, attack and defense. Sarcasm remains unchanged and always at 999! :D There is a kind of a skill tree, where you can boost various aspects. Fortunately you don’t need to make hard decisions, by the end of the game you’ll have all the points to be fully upgraded.

Review

Game is pretty dang fun I love the art style and it has a plethora of fun the dialogue can be pretty entertaining as flawed as it is. The art style is pretty cool I definitely enjoyed killing waves of enemies I wish the xp did more than just give you a special attack mode which is hardly noticeable. There’s a ton of spelling mistakes and there’s a random voice that pops up the character portraits glitch as well. Game is beatable but there are glitches the second stage with the roots there’s one room if you enter it from the wrong angle you can’t see the torches to light them.. Each stage leading up to the boss has it’s own mechanics and they’re pretty dope. The game can be frustrating but it was fun for the price.

Lakeview Valley

Lakeview Valley

The Elevator Pitch:

It’s like “8-bit Horror Groundhog Day: The Game.”

Only, it’s really more like “Groundhog Week”, and you’ve traded the meteorology for murder.

The Meat & Potatoes (& Amy’s Cookies):

I absolutely LOVED Lakeview Cabin Collection, so when I found out that the sole developer of LVC, Roope Tamminen, had just recently released his latest game, I couldn’t wait to give it a try.

It quickly and effortlessly surpassed my already-rather-lofty expectations…

-There is a staggering amount of content in this game.

Real player with 58.5 hrs in game

Lakeview Valley is a refreshing take on the genre of Small Town RPG games that I have thorougly been enjoying. After playing more than 45 hours of it I haven’t even brushed the surface of what this game offers and am still getting a handle on what I’m doing.

You play some guy who moved to a new town where nothing is as it seems and you can choose to be whatever you want. I think this game is amazing and I can’t believe I didn’t pick it up from day one.

Want to be a normal guy living a normal life and get to know people and be helpful in your community while remodeling your home? Do it!
