The Logomancer Reviews

I love rpg makers games but all my past expierence playing them didn't prepare me for this. Logomancer is very well spoken with great world lore and character development. The puzzles were way too high level for me but I used a guide made by the developer to get through the really tough ones (the creepy basement was my favorite part of the game and I didn't need a guide to solve it woot). If you're a fan of rpgmaker, tough puzzles, turned based combat, and great atmosphere then this is the game for you. P.S: I highly suggest getting the "true ending". It's very well written, mind blowing ending!!

Taking bog-standard JRPG combat system and dressing it up in new names does not count as innovation. The player still get stuck with one of the most boring variations of combat mechanics that remain unchanged for far too long. Otherwise, this game suffers from things that plague most JRPGs, especially cheap indie ones: bad controls, a lot of unnecessary walking (this time, without a chance of random encounter even), boring equipment, lack of dialogue trees, I expected this to be more like "Socrates Jones: Pro Philosopher" - which is the game you should try instead, if you're looking for really interesting "word-based" battles. As it is, I cannot recommend this game, even though dialogues and story are somewhat above-level for a genre cursed with endless stories about magical schoolboys/girls.

I can not say enough good things about this game. I can say a few bad ones. Some of the puzzles might be a bit much, and a lot of the character protraits are flat-out ugly. The story is fascinating, though. Excellent worldbuilding. Frequent hilarity in characters being snarky to one another. Buy this game. Ignore bad reviews.
