Finding out a majority of the dialogue consisted of randomly generated gibberish was a relief, until then I thought I was as dumb as a bag of rocks.
Neat claymation and scenery that will have you feeling like you're stuck home from school with the flu
I was really digging the start of Hylics 2 and decided I had to stop and play through the original first. I'm glad I did. The experience wasn't quite as "alchemical" for me as first contact with its sequel, but they share a similar skeleton and manage to be simultaneously very familiar-- stripped down, plot-lite JRPGs that let their systems shine-- and also unique in the genre. In the details of its implementation, in the artwork, the music and silly nonsense. Its proof that the NPCs and story can say almost anything and it will still be somehow compelling. I will be thinking about this one for a long time.
great art style and fun game play amazing
This game is so odd but for whatever reason I just enjoyed it so much, looking forward to trying Hylics 2.
Amazing experience! I'd be lying if I said I understood anything that was happening, but I really love the non-linearity of this game. The soundtrack is very catchy and the environments were really, really cool to me. However, backtracking to get spells for each party member did get quite tedious, and doing this game without a guide required a lot of backtracking/ running in circles in act 2 because I missed a staircase. That being said, the game is pretty short and sweet so at least I got to hear that awesome soundtrack while I was stumbling around.

I did feel like an absolute idiot when the final boss wiped the floor with me, only to find out I completely missed an area in the first town of the game, thereby missing the first recruitable party member, as well as the purpose of the paper cups. I just had Wayne duke it out (and mostly run in terror) until I found Somsnosa, and then turned Wayne into a supportive tank. I missed the last (or first?) sage token as well, but found the rpg elements pretty enjoyable. Solo Wayne was quite a challenge but made the first portion of the game quite fun.
I LOVE THIS GAME!!! OST is amazing, I even listen to it in my free time. Visuals are unique, I love the fact that it's claymation. The only slightly annoying thing is the fact that everytime a new character is added to your team, you need to go back to every single tv you've been to. But that isn't a big problem since it can be nice to backtrack! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
I feel like this would be even better after licking a frog.
This game is surreal and makes my brain hurt, I absolutely ADORE it! The art style is so beautiful (in its own freaky deaky way), it feels so unnatural yet dreamy. It's really funny sometimes and I would honestly want to be friends with Wayne. (I hope I can run like him one day.)
Good game, very interesting. I would recommend it. The vibe is totally unique and the design of the battle system is surprisingly compelling.
I had some problems with accidentally sequence breaking it and missing Act 3 at first, but that issue is solvable with the help of a very simple steam guide.
the game takes place in a post apocalyptic alien world.
it's so creative, weird, innovative, and has a great soundtrack.
combat actually feels fun.
things in this game aren't just handed to you.
definitely worth the money.

This game has one of the most unique artstyle and OST i've ever seen and heard. Although the ending of the game was a bit anticlimactic, i still find myself listening to the soundtrack on YT. I hope to get the sequel soon (if i get enough money). We love you Mason Lindroth.
The term "Hylic" is part of the Gnostic heresy of Christianity that some people aren't ensouled and thus can't be saved. The game here intentionally misappropriates the word. The word comes from Greek and literally means "matter", but is used to refer to a class of people that only concern themselves with material things and cannot have a single thought (as well as everything else that means in that heresy). It's contrasted with their depictions of "psychics" who can have surface level thoughts and "pneumatics" who in their books are spiritually enlightened, and I use the word hylic because it has lots of overlap with the NPC meme and C.S. Lewis's writings in Screwtape Letters and The Abolition of Man
The abstract nature of this game keeps it interesting all throughout its run, even for someone who generally dislikes turn-based RPG's. Great art, fun gemaplay, the final boss was a little too hard though until I went back to grab every item and ability in the game.
don't really get the story but very cool art style and soundtrack
Really good, if short. Visuals style is very cool, soundtrack is great, overall a fantastic game.
One of my favorite games of all time! The art style is insanely cool and unique. I'm looking forward to playing it again someday.
Amazing and crazy unique RPG, way better than undertale in my opinion.
Absoloutely Phenominal.
The artstyle is clearly the standout feature and it's for good reason, the art of this game is beautiful and the whole thing just feels like a dream.
The combat is also fun but challenging, I loved all the different spells.
This game screams weirdness and I love it for that, some people search for normality and get confused within the weirdness, but I live for the chaos.
Also love gibby, great character design.
Only thing I was a little put off by is I never really got the guy from the beginning of the game who would push the stuff for different acts.
This game is the best, I hate RPG's but this made me love them and it's weird style and mechanics are the wackiest shit ever. 100% suggest
The most Stylish of the Stylish and over a surprisingly engaging if simple RPG shell. A quick play with loads of memorable sights
to the northeast is the great city of hylics.
may its crystal endure 1000 years!
Absolutely worth the money, was a bit of a short game. I know there is a second one which I honestly may go take a look at. Other than that this game had such a unique style and art to it, which is hardly found in any new games. The story being fun and wacky, it was a blast to play it. Amazing soundtrack too, felt sad that I finished the game so quick and got less time to take in everything.
i played this game and it didn't stick in my head at first but like a week later it kicked in and now it has its own big room in my brain where it doesn't pay any rent and wriggles around like a little clay parasite uhhh i love hylics
A friend recommended me this game and at first glance I was not interested at all.
I watched a video on it and immediately wanted to get it.
Amazing game, the creator did a great job.
Would recommend to anyone and everyone
Short and sweet. The visuals might come off a little striking firsthand, however, needless to say, that is also the game's main appeal. I also really enjoyed the understated, atmospheric OST, I definitely was vibing to it. Best played blind if possible, then you can search what you missed.
Undoubtedly one of the strangest games I’ve ever played. Despite that, the game still manages to maintain an interesting gameplay loop with unique mechanics that help keep the game as fascinating as ever. Most of the NPCs you encounter often speak nonsense except for a handful of characters and dialogue that either help explain the quest you’re on or help guide you in search of something new in the map. The music is great, the gameplay is simple yet interesting, the characters are awesome, and it’s overall a very good game that I highly recommended to anybody interested in top down RPGs. I bought this for only a $1 when it went on sale but $3 is more than fair for a game as unique and fun as this one.
Near the chemicals, a convexity digests wrongfully.
Or doth my homunculus deceive near vacuums?
10/10
Seriously though this is an amazing art project with a few frustrating bits. Some tips: Save your meat and water coolers until you have all 4 party members. You can get two early if you explore a lot; go everywhere in an area that you can first. Lastly, you need to return to TV's to teach everyone the skills you've learned so far. That's all I can offer besides Mystic Meat is your lifeline, along with Calibration.
Surreal, bizarre, and hilarious all the way through. It's a short and simple to follow RPG but has enough strategy and secrets that you will need to pay attention. I had no idea what was going on or what strange thing I would encounter next, but I never got lost and I had fun trying to immerse myself (and I got several laughs throughout it).
Highly suggest for a slice of fun, artistic, and unique RPG maker games.
One of the most interesting, well-crafted, and surreal games I've played. The game itself is a little bit short but seeing the effort of making all the graphics, world, and sprites from digitized clay models it is a very fun experience nonetheless.
Al principio no entendi nada, pero al final tambien no entendi nada.
El estilo visual es su punto mas fuerte, en cuanto a su modo de juego es un combate por turnos poco desafiante, entretenido y yo pague poco mas de 3 dlr asi que esta bien
I very much enjoyed this. Made me feel like I was high without any drugs. I compiled some reviews and created this song. Thank you for this gem.

A short and sweet, but not simple, game that throws you into the bewildering and crazy mind of Mason Lindroth. Learning the game is almost like learning another language.; after a couple of hours, words, puzzles, interactions, all of it, starts to make sense. Despite the disturbing, yet fitting music, abstract art style that makes you feel like you're on an acid trip, and interesting game design that, while slightly annoying, proves to be effective in keeping the player engaged. This game is, genuinely, an experience that is worth the three dollars. I can't wait to play Hylics 2!!! 9/10
Truly a phantasmagorical game. It's whacky and obscure in all the right ways, big fan! I think everyone should play this game!!!
Extremely unique and wacky. I gave up looking for symbolism about 20 minutes into the game; though some sort of plot develops towards the very end. Not difficult, but engaging nonetheless. This game subverts many JRPG tropes while managing to take itself seriously the entire time.
surreal and fun. uniquely funny dialog and interesting items.
juicy fun doth the flabby sunrise over moonworth. the moth flies close away from the dark in this one, broh. moist maker been made, broh.
Funny Yellow man Funny Green Entity Funny Blue woman Funny Greatest of the Dread Knights of Yiithorn
Esoteric, surreal, and enrapturing. A psychedelic dream come to life, it's at times impenetrable, but as all art does, it begs you to engage with it, to let it stew in the back of your mind. Just short enough to be digested in a single afternoon, Hylics pushes the boundaries of what indie games can be.
10/10 no clue what i just played and part of it felt deeply uncomfortable but it was a hell of a good time
great atmosphere, great fights, great music, outstanding game, 10/10.
One of if not the best indie game i've played. Great humour and plenty of randomness.
honestly one of the most unique and well thought out game I've ever played. I would highly recommend if your into indie games that are not afraid to break the limits of gaming
Wayne wakes up one day and decides to go on an adventure... this adventure is Hylics and it's one I'd recommend you join him on.
Hylics - 1 character in an abstract surreal world who gets beat up by every enemy he finds, until he finds some friends that tag along, becomes rich and just buys infinite healing items and wipes the floor with everything he comes across. incredibly unique style, very surreal and psychedelic. really interesting way of creating graphics! I loved how laid back the RPG-style gameplay was and I liked exploring the world of Hylics, you truly never know what to expect. The only thing that lost me was its poetic commentary and dialogue which at some points almost seemed nonsensical to me. Great OST too. Buy. Play. Expand your mind talking to sentient fish.
Fantastic experience you'll never be able find anywhere else (Other than the equal of course)
10000000000000000000% recommend Hylics for people that love REALLY WEIRD Classic RPG turn based games. I love everything about this game 10/10, about to start Hylics 2 since I just beat the first one
If this game were an hour or two longer it would REALLY start to drag, but its not an hour or two longer, so I recommend. It's worth playing for the visuals and aesthetic alone. The dialogue is cryptic and as far as I'm aware: has little behind it. The game is charming, but is nothing particularly special on a gameplay level. But because it is so cheap and so short, it's hard to not recommend.
absolute beauty is what this game is i played it all the way through in almost 6 hours do not play this while tripping you might actually understand the word vomit that is the dialogue in this game but fr so much fun i cant wait to play the second one
Great game. one of the great jrpg games. The only thing ill say is that i dont know what was going on lore wise of the game
A sensory pilgrimage emerges, where sinews and synapses entwine in the jubilant dance of pixels and putty. The conglomeration of verbs and undulations crafts a phantasmagoria of sublime perplexity, a feast for both optic nerve and cranial sponge
A fun surrealist adventure through a claymation world.
