Amelon Reviews

this Game is Crap

very disjointed

The controls are unresponsive and the horrible accent voice-overs are impossible to understand.

100% indie, 100% amateur a one person made game, exluding voice act of course. First of all, I have to admit that this is a first game what have been made by this author. So you don't expect nothing more from Amalon than terrible graphic, optimization, bad voicecs, bugs. Everything of that you can find in the Amalon, but if you have an open-mind aproche and you are looking for independent and ambitus title you are in the right place.

a diamond in the rough. it' short. a few things could be improved. but the post apocalyptic story was worth the flaws.

Nothing works as it should: - Right from the bat, the music volume doesn't change anything. That's 33% of the available options. I didn't test the other 2. - The voices can't be understood in English. Their accents make them sound like parodies, but they are not. They are supposed to be a tutorial. - There are papers scattered on the ground to be read. However, their font size is 3 pixels high. Utterly illegible and pointless. - The controller has 1 stick that is functioning. Badly. Nothing else. It's useless. - Shifting to keyboard, plenty of keys randomly mapped, but you still need the mouse for some stuff. - Trying all keys systematically, I transformed into a car. It moves differently. I failed to transform back into a walker. I've seen a few other bizarre things, but I don't want to spend more time on this review that they actually spent polishing their game.

Wow, for a small cost this is a cute little game with maybe 90 minutes play time except that i was such a boob and as the credits rolled it gives you your score based on choices, I had lots of bad choices and not a lot of good ones. i am clearly a bad little robot :( At first the movement took some getting used to but was not hard, it was just me being dumb. Interacting with items and people was just getting close to them and mouse clicking the subtitled lines of dialogue. One mission was to eavesdrop on a conversation at a window using a little drone, i found this difficult to manoever, again, that is probably just me being dumb. The hospital mission threw me, they started to lose health and i panicked but the Dev let me know with a hint **SPOILER** [spoiler] use the trolley in the middle of the room, Duh!! I am so dumb I missed that. [/spoiler] It ended soon after that with a really sad little cutscene that was so excellently filmed it made me cry a little when i realised what it was. The whole thing was so well done, the drone a little frustrating but it was so cute and you can tell the dev put time and effort and love into this little game. I especially adored the little television sets that played live TV, including one really strange musical duo that just made me giggle. £3 for an hour and a half with the chance to playthrough it again making better choices. I have seen far worse games for a lot more money . Thank you for the game, did not regret buying it one little bit. Thank you for the hint when I got stuck. The end cutscene was truly a work of art.
