Basements n' Basilisks Storms of Sorcery (2023) | Gameplay Review (PC)
The Good:
* Focus on relationships
* Basement Master choices
* Ironic without being tiresome
The Bad:
* Limited gameplay
* World is a little empty
* Typewriter sounds
Conclusion:
Basements n' Basilisks: Storms of Sorcery is a short and fun adventure. It’s not a full role-playing game but it’s not just a visual novel. It understands the RPG genre and critiques its many issues but the team at eNVy softworks uses its title as a way to show it might be improved. The experience centers relationships and shows how a small group can work together to embody a fictional universe with a certain magic.
The title’s biggest problem is that it doesn’t fully use its universe. A few extra combat encounters, perhaps to underline how they can be handled creatively, and a few more nights around the campfire were needed. Basements n' Basilisks: Storms of Sorcery is a good proof-of-concept and I hope that its developers get a chance to revisit this universe and expand on their good ideas.
