Daisy Flies to the Moon Reviews

Definitely worth the price. I only have less than an hour in the game, but it seems like a solid RPG, the dialogue is funny enough to make me want to talk with EVERY npc, and the music is pretty nice as well. And it's $5. So if you enjoy RPGs even a little bit, just buy it.

As a small indy passion project, it's hard not to like this game. It's definitely got some flaws, which I'll go into in a moment, but for a $5 game with RPG Maker vibes you'll definitely get your money's worth. There is a system under Admin for using skill points to customize characters, which is neat in theory, but there is no way to see how many points you've spent on what... and if you've maxed out elemental resistances, you'll still lose a skillpoint before it stops taking more. This is an easy mistake to make, since it appears these resistances cap at 27 but there is an achievement for getting several to 30. The boss fights I've come across so far have been incredibly lackluster. Hoping for more variety. Also, after the fights, I have to slowly make my way back through the dungeons again unless I have a specific item. That item, by the way, says that it will take you back to the first moon base... but it doesn't, it just takes you back to the start of the current dungeon you're in. The game has something of an open world design, which feels less "come explore me" and more "good luck figuring out what you're supposed to be doing next, and yes you will be punished for trying to do something ahead of time." On the bright side, with a bit of save scumming, leveling up on higher level monsters becomes something of a breeze. There are a lot of abilities, but no explanation for what they do, and it's possible to use them "wrong" and forfeit a turn as a result. As an example, you can select to "repair" the main character... but that doesn't work. She isn't a robot. Yet these many small complaints don't take away from the fact that there is a lot to do and a lot to explore. There is something of an overarching series of mysteries of what is happening on the moon, and they steadily reveal themselves. The writing at times feels uneven, but the overall plot is intriguing and will help keep you going.

This is a great game! It's very well done. It includes RPG and discovery mechanics, great old school turn-based battle mechanics, and much more. It also has Immense charm and the story, and sense of humor is great. It is absolutely worth the money, it'll leave your day looking a little brighter ... even though it's about flesh hungry mutants on the moon haha.

A fun sci-fi RPG. Fully compatible on the steam deck. It starts off pretty hard but gets easier as you upgrade and gain levels so there is a bit of a grind in the beginning. You will get plenty of items as you go so don't hoard them. Some people don't like the graphics, but as I said with Elijah and The Great Adventure, to me it's retro (think Windows 3.1 and Flash games on Newgrounds). I found this game comparable to Phantasy Star (PS) I and II. As with PS I some dungeons take you into first person mode, but at least you will get a minimap (you can find items that give you a full map). The battles made me think of PS II mostly in that you will have difficulty at first. Also some mazes (like in PS II) are very cruel. I did like some of the puzzles in the game (see the discussions if you're stumped). Making your own maps will be helpful (as some of us had to do in the old days). As with Elijah and the Great Adventure you will come across areas that may require you to come back later with particular key items. There are a handful of extra areas not required to beat the main story but reward you with powerful gear. Suggestions: The resistance stats cap at 25, you will end up wasting skill points if you pour any more in afterwards - add a check to prevent folks from wasting additional points. When upgrading stats, it'd be nice to be able to see where you're currently at, so perhaps add another window to see the current stats when at the upgrade screen. Consider lowering the prices for the cyber enhancements. I found them to be super expensive for the minor stat boosts you get compared to equipment. When purchasing equipment, it'd be nice to see what your current equipment provides (especially true for cyber equipment). The movement speed is pretty slow making the larger open areas in dungeons a slog to get through. Improving that somehow can make some of the more cruel dungeons more manageable. You're able to get way more Spare Parts and Robot Parts than you really need (if you take the time to explore). Perhaps reward those players by granting a skill point when using them after being maxed out or make them sellable to vendor bots? Good stuff. Still waiting on the next one, Nuclear Winter. I never got to play the earlier Percy game.

Daisy Flies to the Moon is certainly an interesting game. I am a huge fan of obscure media and when I received an ad for this game I knew I had to try it out. It has some interesting ideas and strange writing, but those things aren't my issue with the game. The single greatest problem with the is game are the random encounters. There are way too many and you can't lose to the enemies. Positives: -The price is really low. -It is a real passion project. A lot went into this game, although i feel it was working hard in the wrong places. -This is a very unique experience. -Writing can be funny with how the creators message is ham fisted down your throat. -Finding spare parts and robot parts is always exciting, but the game offers so many that you get maxed out towards the middle-late part of the game Negatives: -Difficulty is non-existent after you complete the early game. -The entire game is a maze, filled with unlosable random encounters. gameplay is as fun as driving through traffic. -The writing as a whole is horrific. -The art/direction is pretty awful. (this isn't a problem for me, but it is important to acknowlege) -The gameplay is so tedious that there is no reason to play this game. It has all the worst aspects of old style RPGs (ff1) -Second radio tower dungeon is one of the worst dungeons in any game ive played. Don't play this game. There is no reason to. If you decide that you do want to play this game, don't finish it. I did it for you. If the random encounters were toned down by like 200%, maybe the game would be playable. However, in its current state, this game has been one of the least fun experiences I've had playing a game in a while. Most of my time playing it was while watching youtube documentaries on the side because it was so boring. Overall, daisy flies to the moon is a strange game that is horrifically boring with terrible writing. I am currently the only person who left a review that played this game to completion.
