Patchy's Magical Maze: Alice & Shangai's Hack and Slash Adventure
21Alternative Title: Alice's Sapphic Comedy of Miscommunication - Featuring: Violence
Turn on Subtitles for some light commentary on the game.
This time it's a game from the "Touhou Pride Game Jam 4", (Static Theme: LGBT Themes), it's an hack and slash/Beat'em up type game with some dungeon crawler type overworld movement/exploration... Bizarre combination but i would be lying if i said i didn't like how it functioned.
The gameplay is actually extremely solid, to the point that I think it's a shame the game is so short; if the game had a way to "gain new attacks" or "buy" like in DMC, allowing you to further develop your attack combinations (Which are already plentiful if you know how to jump cancel and how to mix your buttons) and obviously more plot/game I think this could be easily sold on Steam...
Hrm my point is, it's a pretty fun short fangame.
Plot/Story wise it's a pretty cute "Comedy of Miscommunication" so to speak.
The dialogues themselves tend on a more light tone, the entire story not taking itself too seriously; still, this feels the closest Alice has ever been to her canonical counterpart, at least in the sassy/nonchalant sense.
All in all, recommended game, it's good... Though it's still unfinished as the time of making this video.
It's gonna be updated "eventually", so until then, keep an eye out.
