It was amazing, rpg maker with earthbound slammed with 4 random instruments and Shakespeare old works
I can verify that this trip is completely safe. Feels uncomfortable at first but then nonsense makes sense after a while. Relax and you'll be fine.
I love this game to bits. I love it when I falsify my being and throw dynamite at the moon lord and have a dance party right after. 10/10
This is among the pantheon of my favorite games of all time. For me its not just a trippy jrpg with unique style, it is a spiritual experience. Playing this game smooths my space alien brain, and soothes my lonesome soul. There is so much I could say about this game, but I think my love for this game would be as misunderstood as this game itself is within the public lexicon. Thank you Mason Lindroth, for everything all the time <3
Damn near incomprehensible levels of weird. Short, sweet, headache-inducing in the first 20 minutes because you don't understand anything, but generally very good and artistically unique.
A very bizarre game, but cool as hell nonetheless. Love the style even if the story is largely nonsensical to me.
Never have I been more confused by a game than this, but really I liked it a lot, especially the music, the art and the atmosphere it created and I like how the dialogue is often randomly generated.
A quick and stylish (underselling it with that statement) RPG which is simultaneously easy and hard to describe. Fundamentally, it’s a straight forward RPG where you lead your party across the land to depose a tyrant ruling from their lunar fortress in a relatively linear plot, although there are some optional areas to explore as well. Along the way to find new equipment, learn new spells and increase in power. Battles are done in a classic turn-based style, with occasional tough bosses to make sure you’re strong enough to continue or to hide powerful loot.
Where it gets weird is the rest of the description, with the most obvious being the games' aesthetics. Everything, and I really mean everything, is claymation. Your player characters, the enemies, the towns and dungeons, the world map, the spell effects, the items used in battle, EVERYTHING. And the art design is hardly traditional either. Your primary character, Wayne, has a crescent-moon shaped head. And he’s one of the least weird character designs, the enemy designs in particular can be bizarre looking. Dialogue in the game borders on word salad, which clear speech being a rarity. While you’d expect this to be disorientating, it somehow ends up deeply captivating, elevating its straight-forward plot into something you are excited to see to its conclusion, if only to see what new visuals are around the corner. The music is good too, although it doesn’t stand out much against the games’ other aesthetics. It’s more mood/vibe based than anything catchy, the kind where you can’t remember specific songs but instead the feelings they elicit.
Outside the otherworldly visuals and dialogue, the game does do some unique things on its own. Enemy encounters do not respawn after you beat them, meaning encounters are a finite resource. There is also no XP to gain, instead enemies drop meat which needs to be ground to increase your party’s health (called Flesh in game). Notably, the only meat grinder in the game is in the Afterlife, meaning you need to die in order to increase your health. There are also some goodies to be found in the Afterlife, so dying is hardly a setback in the traditional sense, such that saving is only of importance if you are closing the game.
Overall, it’s an incredibly stylish indie RPG which keeps you enthralled with its unique presentation, and its short run time prevents things from getting boring. For as little as this game costs, I’d strongly recommend it if you are a fan of RPGs.
Look, Hylics is a game that is completely nonsensical but what it does is presents itself in a way that just hits me. It’s a game about moments. Moments that let you just take breaks in a stressed out world. Hylics gave me a rare escape, a reminder to pause and breathe. Its quirky charm and nonsensical beauty taught me that sometimes, it’s okay to just exist in the moment. That’s a lesson I’ll carry with me, no matter how chaotic life gets. So, yeah, Hylics is my favorite game of all time, fight me.
Amazing game. Calming music with (mostly) easy fighting style. Though the story is confusing. XD
so cool. the art style, the character design, the "story", EVERYTHING is a *MWAH* chef kiss!!!
What mechanizes beside that domicile? What mechanizes the spirit above my government? It is, ostensibly, that "chemical."
If you like more obscure, but insanely charming and stylistic games, you will love this game. I did all the way through it's shorter length.
If I had a nickel for every time I said "What the fuck is that thing?" while playing this game, I'd have like a couple bucks or something idk. Also fun game ig.
Cool game, had me hooked the whole day. Kinda like felvidek if you were on drugs. (Ive never played felvidek but i assume thats what its like) Love the graphics and style a bunch though, its really unique
That was... a thing. In all seriousness, this is like an old style indie rpg game that makes little sense, uses unconventional artistic design choices, and really does whatever the hell it wants to do. And I love that fact. It's on the level that you could compare to something OFF, Gingiva, Space Funeral, and a few others of that era, while not playing like any of them.
This is really really not a game for everyone. It's basically weird for the sake of weird. Your quest is... something. You just go with it. Almost all the characters speak poetic gibberish. Despite this, it wasn't impossible to find my way around. Graphically the world is made of muted figurines covered with digitized clay and similar clay shaped representations of scenery. A lot of it is absolutely shapeless and in some ways, unappetizing to look at. But I'll give it this, it has its own sense of style.
I enjoyed this one for the weird factor, like a lot of old era indie titles. The frequent gibberish dialogue can sometimes make it feel a bit pretentious or empty, however. But the game does a good job of generally letting you figure out the correct way to go, which is impressive for the lack of in game explanation.
Hylics is potentially one of the most unique looking and sounding games i've ever played, god bless clay animation. Nothing makes sense in this world, and i loved it.
But to be honest, the actual gameplay is kinda mehhhhhhhhhhhhh. You pretty much can get lost on what to even do next, sometimes it can seem really hard just because you have went somewhere where you should go later on and the combat itself is as standart as an rpg can be, you get me.
I still recommend this game to anyone who just wants to see funky visuals and see what it feels to go on a drug trip, its worth it
This is the most wildly unhinged post-punk insanity I've ever seen and I love it.
The artstyle and music were great, I really appreciated the design in this game, it was fun and delivered a feeling of fulfillment after completing. The final fight was truly what a final fight should be like. Excellent game.
this game is like drinking a nice glass of warmed up milk right before bed, then proceeding to have some weird ass dreams as you sleep.
Very good game
It is a texturized artistic recreation of a noble ocean. I really enjoyed the completion of Gibby. It is kind of a homunculus...
Fun little indie jrpg that doesn’t take itself too seriously, with bleak and random humour sprinkled around. The very abstract art style and music grows on you throughout playing and really compliments the kinda disturbing atmosphere
The description describes the game perfectly. Hylics is hardly a game but more of an unique experience. The game play is rather generic and prettg forgiving. And the story if u look at it could be very typical. But the visual the music and atmosphere were done so good. I hardly could stop playing this game. I enjoyed the experience a lot. Hylics feels a lazy game on acid and sometime it feels like it hates to be an RPG.
I loved it. Earthbound meets the neverhood vibes
I've got no idea how to review this. I guess I liked it? It was funny, obtuse, confusing... Lots more adjectives too.
Don't expect coherence.
Хорошая игра для трипов, ну и сама по себе хорошая. Даже умирать приятно, что редко встретишь в jrpg.
One of the most unique RPGs I've ever played. Structure-wise, it has the same story beats as most other RPGs (wake up one day, find your friends and kill god), but it's presented in such a captivating way, it'll stick with you long after the acid trip is over. Everything it offers, from the soundscape to the randomized text, sets up such a bizarre, alien vibe to it all, and yet, it feels so familiar as you make your way through the different areas. There's genuinely nothing quite like it. Most people probably skip over it in favor of the sequel's graphics, but for three bucks, it can't be beat.
Wonderfully confusing, with an outstanding soundtrack and enigmatic visuals. This game was a delightful experience
The artwork grabbed me instantly, it looks so groovy. I played it in one go my first time booting it up. It took me about 5 hours. Figuring out what to do wasn't too challenging. I read the game was easy but the final boss was a bit of a challenge. overall i'd say it's a good game that i would recommend.
I have no clue what the story is or what I'm doing. All I know is that this is the closest I'll get to tripping balls in the best way possible
one of a kind game. games like this are reasons why i love to spend my free time playing games in the first place. love the animation. adore the music. love the world. love hylics. thank u
banger soundtrack + good combat + cool art
Game is fun not much int he way of plot or story however the aesthetics more than make up for it.
This game really is something fascinating. The artstyle is fantastic, the music is strange but really good, the combat is fun, and the story is bizarre (in a good way). The game is practically dripping with style and you can feel the creativity and passion that went into this. Also, did i mention that the game is, in fact, $3?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I repeat, the game is THREE. DOLLARS. If you're looking to pick this game up, do it. I guarantee you, there is a 99.9859% chance that you will be happy with this purchase lol.
i would say this is one of my more favorite RPGs just because it feels super fun to play and everything just feels fulfilling, i love the claymation styling and the characters that can join your team are awesome. the way you can teach everyone every move is also a great touch because it helps a lot with the fights.
i also love that dying isn't just a reset and there's actually a reason to die after fighting a ton of enemies, i enjoy being able to play without the fear of losing so much progress from dying, even though i still preferred not to die anyways.
A short, western JRPG, in a fun plasticine-looking world, where inflation went rampant and every controllable character cosplays as Thanos.
+ The exploration and combat in this game were fun, challenging, and tense at times ("please miss, I don't wanna backtrack if I die"). I accidentally got the "intended" second companion after the third one, and was thinking to myself how though the combat is, as I missed the first "battle area" in the game for the first two hours.
- There is a section in the game were you can play music with the band, but the in-game tutorial only lists keyboard controls.
+ / - You're not guided in this game, where to go or what to do next. But, contrary to other forum Steam members that had to rely on guides, I felt the game was pretty straightforward on how to progress. I did look up the guide before the final boss, because I thought I missed some area when the battle difficulty skyrocketed for the final battle.
++ I laughed the first time I used a dynamite.
This is the wackiest game I ever got into, this game with it's abstract and surreal visuals can't really be recommended to everyone, not everyone would come to love this game and in my eyes this makes this game even more magical, it's so weird I love it so so soooo much, can't wait for hylics 3
I generally believe the game is great, I recommend playing this if your into RPG and surreal elements.
incredible soundtrack, great game
changed the way my brain works love you goat
found burrito in a toilet. 10/10
This game has some of the most interisting art styles ive ever seen and fantastic music. I really reccomend playing it becouse its so cheap. i noticed some have the problem with the fullscreen, you need to press the hotkeys key alt and enter togther to get it to fullscreen
I expected nothing before playing, expected far more as I did, now all I have is disappointment.
I didn't even know this game had AI-generated text. I was completely blind.
At first I thought the white caped guy (nicknamed as DRACULA) was the mysterious villain named Gibby, King of the Moon. He seemed to have the power to move the story forward, and looked like what a Moon King could with looking like an ivory alien contrasted by his colorful environment, while wearing a cape like royalty. I thought this guy came down to conquer the world while we try stopping with scant information about this threatening being.
Hell, you can kill some of the creatures by just pressing USE on them as Dracula.
No, the "bad guy" is just some orange who was sitting there doing nothing.
What did Gibby do wrong? Why did Wayne bother at all? Who is he?
Wayne seemed to start with a lot of weirdly-named stats. I still don't know what 100% of stats do.
I found the character Somsnosa first, then Dedusmuln. Finally and later it was Pongorma.
Snosa is depressed about her magic gauntlets being stuck in her basement with killer skulls, and joins you if you get them.
Dedusmuln is an archeologist who knows how water coolers work, and joins you if you have a paper cup.
Pongorma is the last of legendary knights (with dominion over the skulls), who joins your party if you beat him.
The only place with the most to say for itself is The Laboratory.
You come into an office where you're directed to Clawman so you get permission to enter. He asks you for a password (with all options being wrong, and all AI random-generated) and he fights you for being wrong on all chances. I guess he's the CEO of the place. After killing him you're allowed to enter the lab and interact with random buttons to turn the living beings in lab vats. One of the scientists says that they carefully curated for "the most profitable organisms."
I hope the creator of the game has never read Nick Land. There's not much else to this place, but at least that can be said.
Anyway yeah that's about it, before you spend that money on a spaceship key to go fight Gibby on the moon and nothing else happens at the end of the game. Sure the moon is destroyed and you crash land onto the guy you can annoy with buttons, but, nothing really changed here except now I can kill everything in one hit. Collecting the three tokens also meant nothing. Maybe it could've made a difference before the final boss fight. It didn't matter.
I wish I didn't fight any of the meaningless enemies in this entire game before seeing it for what it is.
The gameplay is broken.
As a gamer, I'm a stubborn explorer.
Of course Somsnosa is one of the first three people I talk to.
Then I found Dedusmuln in the mountains before opening the horror gate.
I made Wayne rely on magic the most, while playing with the Parasitic Crystal.
I'm a huge fan of magical abilities and it was cute to collect spells from televisions, but it blew my mind to see that your whole party also learns these spells when watching TV with them.
It resulted in casting Sleep on everything, ailment shield and inflicting poison on enemies without breaking their sleep. Alternatively I brute-forced it with whatever offensive and support magic I had, with everyone healing each other and removing ailments which every party member can freely learn. I never used a consumable item except to revive Pongorma because he doesn't get as much health when I used meat in the afterlife with the three other characters. The same goes for the water coolers too.
Honestly it's a little tempting to go back and save all my meat and paper cups before recruiting Pongorma to min/max, but I don't like the game.
There are no consequences for failure when dying is actually rewarding: you're generously compensated with warp portals, and you're able to freely re-fill your HP/MP with beds and baths in the meantime. You can get a free weapon for dying (killing yourself) three times in the afterlife. There is no story to the afterlife. Nothing interesting happens when you build sandcastles on every available tile, and all the fish on the beach does is tell you that you can do that. You can throw it into the ocean too. There's some cave that requires dynamite before getting a severely broken spell.
Oh, I'd have to admit that all the backtracking and lack of direction at all would be irritating to other people.
The majority of the dialogue is riddled with pretentious vocabulary. The rest of it is either plain or "hecking whoa dude" slang.
I wished the dialogue was purposely broken purple prose, that really makes you work to understand some profound stories that would hide in plain sight as a reward for people with higher vocabulary, but it was just randomly generated AI garbage.
I really wish that [i]someone[/i[ actually wrote all of the dialogue. It would've been endearing, but the fact it's been generated goes beyond mere disenchantment.
----------
I'm okay with there being a weird world that knows it doesn't have to justify itself at first. I wish I was working for some kind of mystery. I wish that party members at least had more to say than their bare-bone personalities offer when you recruit them. This is a shallow and pretentious mess that made me think I should be playing other claymation games like Neverworld instead.
I wish I played OFF instead.
Not for me this game is carried by the art style if it wasnt so cheap I wouldve refunded
More than a game, Hylics is an experience.
Everything you can interact with is interesting, be it in a "I wonder what happens if I touch this" or "What IS this?" type of way.
I wouldn't say it's quirky game. It's weird, certified weird, not in a "silly word pun xd!" kind of way, more like "The xylophone of the damned is quickening its esophagus". And yet, it makes sense.
As for the combat, it's as cool as a RPG Maker game from 2015 can get. Not hard by any means, but if you're not familiar with turn based skirmishes you'll visit the afterlife a few times at the start of the game.
I could continue to point out unique stuff that this "recreational program" does, but it's so short that you're better off experiencing it yourself. If you don't end up liking it, it's not a big deal. But if you do enjoy this hylic hypothenuse of a game, it will probably end up being one of your all time favorites.
Wonderful game. Loved the style and the atmosphere SO much, it felt like i was playing something from the early 90s. The gameplay itself was good, the battles weren't too easy or too hard, and never once was I bored playing the game. The controls were straightforward which I also appreciated. Literally the only thing I didn't love about the game was the fact that I had no idea what was going on 90% of the time because I couldn't understand any of the dialogue or plot. I don't know if it was borderline gibberish on purpose or not, but either way, for me personally, it barely hindered the experience. I eventually came around to see it as a charming quirk. 9.5/10, I would absolutely recommend this game to anyone who enjoyed games like OFF or Omori.
Didn't know how badly I needed something that hit the same notes as Space Funeral, a free RPG Maker game from about 14 years ago that has similar melancholically surreal and not-entirely-human vibes untill I played this. The gameplay is simple but the visuals, soundtrack, and general vibe are what make this game worth playing. It'll get into your head in a way that'll surprise you. Earthbound on ketamine.
a serene antidepressant dream of a game. if you ever wished that your half-waking visions were 4 hours long, then this should tickle your wet little brainy
one of the weirdest games I've ever played and I absolutely love it.
I love the claymation style, you can tell that a lot of love went into this project!
if you like RPGs and surreal worlds you will love this.
(super excited to play the second game once I've completed this)
I never thought I would like this game. My opinion was that it was too abstract. But after half an hour of playing, the visuals lured me in. I am very glad that a game like Hylics exists. I definitely recommend playing it, it is worth the own price.
