Welcome to Part 19 of the Let's Play Some Demos! | LPSD series!
For those who are new, I aim to introduce gamers to, usually, Indie games and to provide commentary and feedback on the games for educational purposes!
For this episode, I used some of the demos I had grabbed from the Myths & Legends Steam Event!
RULES!
Typically, there are 4 demos. Each demo gets 30 minutes, not including the adjustment of settings and character creation. I might up it to 5 and/or play a great game for longer if there are technical issues. In addition, no AI.
Today, I, attempted, to play 4 demos for your enjoyment:
Dungeons of Hinterberg - Available
Discover the magic and lore of the Alps in this acclaimed Action Adventure. Forge relationships with locals to help you solve puzzles, battle monsters and uncover secrets of the legendary Dungeons of Hinterberg!
The Mildew Children - Available
Featuring a blend of 2D adventure and visual novel, The Mildew Children is a grim tale about a village inhabited only by children who follow savage pagan traditions. A young witch named Kyrphel, along with her sisters, are bound to perform a macabre Ritual in order to save their village.
Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island - Available
You're shipwrecked on a lost mythical island. As backpacker Alex, you must befriend the forgotten gods of Greek mythology and restore their memories. Explore the dynamic island and its story sandbox to build new friendships, solve the mystery and save the gods.
Yaoling: Mythical Journey - Early Access Game
Yaoling: Mythical Journey is a creature collecting Eastern fantasy RPG featuring an world filled with rich stories and unique Yaolings. Tasked to uncover a mysterious evil, you embark on a journey with your Yaolings, forming new friendships, engage in intense battles, and face countless challenges!
All links above are to the games' Steam pages.
The Mildew Children is also available on itch.io!
Why was it an "attempt" to play? Because I suck at puzzles; Dungeons of Hinterberg broke me.
However, I will still be able to render a verdict, via the "Layered Compliment Sandwich":
Dungeons of Hinterberg was fucking fun until I got stumped by a puzzle. There were some annoyances, like the color of the attack animation. And the popping sound when dialogue was loading onto the screen. And the lack of a jump button. However, the lack of a jump button was made up for with the convenience of the automatic climb-up when getting close to a ledge. Now, my not liking guidance when it comes to puzzles is well-known, if you've been here for a while, so I'm not getting into it. My biggest issue with it, and it could very well be a "me" thing, was the fact it gave me a lingering headache. I'll end on I REALLY wish I could have kept playing! The art style was GORGEOUS!
The Mildew Children was an uncomfortable, but pleasant surprise. At one point, I asked why everyone was white. The art style is excellent and consistent and keeps to the grim theme. The story is engaging, even if I don't really understand what's going on. I was also STUNNED by something I didn't expect but should have; children having children. How else would we have a village of only children? And yet, most of the children we encountered acted like adults. I didn't do a whole lot of research before playing, so I don't know why this game was made, but I am getting a simple message from it; even children can be cruel.
Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island is a beautiful game! And the fact the main protagonist was a black woman was a pleasant surprise. The way the game was designed reminded me of Lili: Child of Geos, minus all the trees. My biggest issue was the random changing of camera angles. It threw me off, especially while I was moving. It has one of the best maps I've ever seen, though, which was nice. My favorite part about it was the fact it SEEMED like a popular fruit was going to be used as currency. The most surprising part was Hermes; not how I expected the Messenger god to look. Am I playing too much Hades...? I was looking forward to getting into the Friend system, but the timer rang...
Yaoling: Mythical Journey IS ADORABLE! When I was reading the description, I said it sounded like Pokémon and I was right, to a point. Instead of catching the Yaolings with a Pokéball, you use magic, paper charms instead! You can carry up to 7 charms at a time and, the best part, during a battle, all of your Yaolings fight at once! If you love tactical battles, you'll get a hand of this battle system pretty quickly! The part that was tricky for me was capturing the Yaoling I wanted before mine knocked it out... Similar to Pokémon, when you get your first Yaoling, you're a teenager, and you pick 1 out of the 3 you are introduced to. You also pick your name! But you pick it when you're found as a baby. That, automatically, made it better than Pokémon, and it was before I started playing. Especially since the design of a Pokémon never had me squeal from cuteness overload.
Overall, I want Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island and Yaoling: Mythical Journey, and they are on my wishlist.
As a reminder, Dungeons of Hinterberg, The Mildew Children, and Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island are all Available, while Yaoling: Mythical Journey is in Early Access.
And that's it for Part 19! Thank you for reading!
