VED

"If you like visual novels with a mixture of simple gameplay, wrapped in beautiful graphics and a fairly interesting story, you should give VED a chance, but don&s;t expect rich RPG elements."

"If you&s;re willing to get into the turn-based RPG combat of VED, it isn&s;t bad. But because of the relatively slow action sequences and some of the script and voice directing choices, it never really pulled me in where I …"

"VED is perfect for players who love narrative-driven games or want something that feels like an interactive graphic novel. The combat and world mechanics are there to support the story, not overshadow it, so if you’re more into storytelling than …"

"VED is a game split right down the middle in almost every way. Awkward, often confusing dialogue that interferes with the story’s clarity, as well as a lack of cohesion between the two game worlds makes up the weaker half. …"

"VED is an original game that dares to try new things and succeeds at most of them. The decision-making feels meaningful, the dice-roll segments add tension and stakes, and the battles are genuinely epic. The art direction is nothing short …"

"It&s;s a great first effort, one that should place the developers on your radar for whatever they make next. Sometimes that&s;s enough."

"An interesting RPG with unique combat that looks great, but whose story and characters are a complete mess"

"VED is a relatively short experience, with maybe 10 to 15 hours of total gameplay if you want to experience different story branches and endings. It isn’t without its issues. Most of my concerns relate to the inconsistency between the …"

"Despite its flaws, VED has the potential to captivate with a thoughtful combat system and noticeable graphic style. However, the subpar plot and dialogue prevent the game from shining as it should. The overall experience, unfortunately, ends up being more …"

"VED is full of gorgeous graphics and hosts a decent combat system, even if its story and characters do not come together in a satisfying manner."

"VED may have a unique hand-drawn art style and challenging combat mechanics, but the story and writing leave much to be desired."

"VED isn&s;t a bad game, it&s;s just not a very good one, either, and never quite manages to find its stride."

"I think anyone who likes RPGs or narrative adventure games should play VED. It&s;s one of the best indie titles of this year and has more than enough gameplay mechanics and ideas to justify its purchase in its 7 hours …"

"VED has an interesting premise both for the storyline and for the gameplay mechanics. Sadly, the story suffers from poor pacing and inconsistencies. It really feels like the game would benefit from being a slightly longer adventure, not an 8-hour …"

"The game will do well with those who appreciate its visual novel tendencies, and the gameplay holds up well enough overall to encourage others to explore the mysteries of Micropolis."

"VED delivers a beautiful look, but little more than that. Despite the functional combat, the narrative is exceptionally confusing and poor. And, with that, he manages to make the title totally lost."

"As much as I enjoyed the turn-based combat and RPG systems, they comprised too small a portion of the overall product for me to recommend VED. I do hope this game can find an audience that appreciates it for what …"
