I’ve never been too sure about it.
and a lot of swear words.
It has all the pitfalls you’d expect of a game taking this track.
Every other line is a swear word.
It’s a little try-hard.
ButEdge of Allegoria knows this.
It knows what it’s doing, and Ill give it some credit for that.
I admit it, it got a laugh out of me.
There are some parts of Allegoria’s silly edginess that fit the tone its trying to create.
Then… we kill the Jabberwocky anyway, because that’s the only way to progress the game.
There are some very interesting stories in this world, the kind Pokemon could never tell.
But the game doesn’t seem interested in telling them.
It’s all set-up, no punchline.
Or maybe all punchline, no set up.
Or maybe there are some set-ups without a punchline and some punchlines that aren’t set up.
But it’s still right!
And the third X-Men prequel still sucks!
I’d use the same word there - it’s a disjointed affair.
You don’t catch any creatures in Edge of Allegoria, all battles are fought by you alone.
You get weapons from shops, chests, or key enemies, and each has a unique attack.
Master the weapon by winning enough battles, and you could use its unique attack when wielding other weapons.
However, it’s mechanically a long way short of Pokemon.
There are no types at all, Maddened status is incredibly overpowered while everything bar Poisoned is underpowered.
The only way to compare weapons is to remember all of the numbers.
or more inevitable swear words.
The Edge of Allegoria is a grown up Pokemon game, for better or for worse.
A worthwhile experiment, and good for a larf, but not a game changer.
