眼球大師 Eyeball Master Reviews

Eyeball Master is an odd game. The UI is garish, and our hero is... weird, but the visual effects in combat are incredible, and the gameplay is fast and fluid. For $2? It's a lot of fun! It captures the feeling of playing an endgame JRPG character from the very start. Every spell has a unique, over-the-top visual effect. Each new weapon you craft replaces your Basic Attack with its own powered-up version, each suited for a different "build" and all looking just about as cool as possible. The enemy visual design is great, and the paper-doll animation works really well with the high-res artwork. The music is also jammin' - they've chosen some good 16-bit style tracks that fit the vibe well. On the "map", you move from battle to battle so fast that you don't even have to wait for the screen to fade back in if you don't want to. It's less strategic than e.g. Slay the Spire, but its pacing keeps it fun, and there's still lots of choices to be made once your HP starts to dwindle. The less-good / what to go in expecting: -The English translation is poor, but it was understandable the whole way through. Dandan ;_; -No non-battle content. Lots of skills, weapons, and enemies - but locations are few, story is sparse, and there's not much to the at-home sections. -It's too easy. Once you find a strong build, you can often kill enemies first round, every round. There are debuffs that can ruin your day, but it's rare to get one on an enemy you can't deal with some other way. -Very rough UI, feels like debug text in parts. Generally unpolished outside of battle. Janky (but endearing) way to equip skills. Battle menu works fine, other menus are very clunky. Given how much fun I've had, and how cheap it is, I'd say Eyeball Master is an easy recommendation, despite the flaws. I'll probably fire it up again at some point to get the last few weapons, just to see what they look like!
