Reindeer Story Reviews

Reindeer Story is a top down RPG with a TON of Christmassy content and a fairly unique battle system! Most enemies feature a Red/Green/Blue colour scheme, with a weakness to one and a resistance to the other. Battles play out in turn based fashion with timed attacks and free movement dodging segments when it becomes the enemies turn. One element I've really enjoyed is how the player characters each have some kind of combat specialty. Lux, the titular Reindeer is an all arounder with the highest movement speed, making them best to dodge tricky attacks (and even counter attack). Robin has some support abilities and a spell that can hit almost everything. Whereas the third partner you get seems to deal the most damage by far (and is probably my favourite design of the lot)! Music, visuals, and writing are all rather adorable, with some nods to its 'Mario & Luigi' inspirations, as well as of course, the holiday season. Some hitboxes on the environment and enemies can be a bit jank, and I always end up walking away from dialogue conversations accidentally, but as you can see by some of other reviewer's playtime, that certainly doesn't get in the way of experiencing all the many bosses and optional content the game has to offer while i've only scratched the surface. Truly impressive stuff!

This was a kind of game I never knew I needed in my life till I discovered this game. It's a wonderful little Holiday themed RPG with a wonderful cast of characters. I can also tell the creator is a huge fan of the various Mario RPG series out there. (Mario & Luigi, Paper Mario, etc.) I also found the battle system surprisingly deep for a simple little game made in Game Maker 2. I like the combination of Mario RPG's timed hits system, combined with Undertale/Deltarune's dodging mechanics. It helps keep you on your toes with enemies throughout the game. (Especially during the boss fights.) I highly recommend this for anyone looking to play both a fun tribute to Mario RPG's, or people that fans of Christmas in general. And for such a small price, this game's content is totally makes the price worth paying to play this game.

This is the greatest Christmas game of all time. It's an RPG with inspiration from Mario & Luigi games and Undertale. The game has got a lot of puns and jokes fitting for the season and a great story to go along with it. It also keeps things interesting with side quests and other mechanics in the main story. Not to forget there are many endings, some of them only in new game+, so there is a lot of replay value too. This game just became a part of my yearly Christmas things to do and I am considering aiming for 100% achievements. Also doing my part for making Reindeer Story 3D possible, heh! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
