"The game’s information suggests a grand narrative about humanity’s survival and AI integration. But that sense of scale quickly collapses as you start playing. There’s no payoff for the foreshadowing, and Akane’s personal stakes never feel urgent. Conversations also tend …"

"A bitesize RPG with some incredibly gorgeous pixel art, Artis Impact has a quirkiness and charm that will either win you over, or frustrate you beyond belief, but it’s odd systems and largely unrealised combat system will exasperate regardless."

Though its narrative occasionally wavers, the game’s seamless blend of cozy mechanics, nostalgic JRPG flair, and a sharp-tongued yet endearing protagonist delivers …"
