Awesome game. Took me 10 hours because I was voice acting every dialogue, would take me 5 hours if I didn't. Was very fun reading character interactions with each other, humor is on point. Made me laugh a lot, and character, environment designs were great.
Story got me interested, and didn't dissapoint. Wasn't a fan of the gameplay at first, but it became better as my party grew stronger. Really liked the music as well.
Overall good and short experience, glad that I checked it out.

Short, (bitter)sweet, and created with a lot of passion. Thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. Very clever use of RPG Maker to create very pretty visuals and animations, the first person ones especially. Loved the characters and their personalities.
es como si hylics hubiera tenido un dlc medieval todavía más cachondo
One of my new favorite games of all time. The setting is interesting and unique, the cutscenes are well animated and have a solid art style and all the battle animations are fun and fast enough they don't get annoying.
Even the characters are all solid for what is a 4 and a half hour game with no character development. The story is enjoyable enough and provides good and compelling reasons to adventure and talk to people. There are a good few events that you can find just by being there at the right time and they are always fun to find. The music is utilized well and fits the mood and setting as needed, although I wouldn't listen to most of it outside of the game aside from a few exemplary tracks.
Although not technically a perfect game, I enjoyed it the whole way through and only upon thinking about it for the review did I find minor flaws. So to me, 5 stars.

a very interesting story, tainted with very fitting humor in a historically relevant (i assume accurate too) medieval slovakia.
i personally don't like turn-based combat and in felvidek it's made in a way that's not tedious. there is no xp, so it eliminates having to grind and instead scales based on the equipement your party has.
the art style is mad unique although somewhat reminescent of games like papers, please in the limited color palette and the way the characters are shaded, but brozef definitely made it their own thing, it's one of the main strengths that this project has going on. the music is also very enjoyable leaning a lot on heavy hitting drums, mellow guitars and analogue synths that play a lot with textures.
as a one man project i can't recommend this game enough. it's also the very first slovakian game i've ever played!

Felvidek is a short, roughly 5 hour story about an alcoholic Slovakian knight. I personally am not good with history at all, so in regards to that, I didnt know or care much about it.
What drew me into this game was it’s unique (or, unique at this day and age) art style. While that definitely is one of its strong suits, what really made me love this game was the silly dialogue and actions mixed with the sort of surreal enemies and overall story. The silly dialogue could be a turn off for some people, but I thought it had its place, and didnt overstep its boundaries, keeping the tone of the story consistent all throughout. A lot of the characters were also fun to interact with too.
The story itself I thought was good, around a 7. Nothing crazy, but nothing like I have played before really, and I was pretty invested.
Overall, a great short game, probably the best game I’ve played under ~10 hrs. Will be memorable, and is definitely worth the price.

Slovakia.. err, Hungary? Never felt so good!
Felvidek is a peculiar and particular JRPGMaker game with a runtime of four or so hours in which a playable priest and drunkard soldier find themselves embroiled in a multi-faceted religious-political conspiracy. I'll be honest the moment to moment plot and overarching narrative of this game were increasingly hard for me to follow as time went on, largely in part due to the long-winded speeches that site antiquated medieval European histories and faiths, but from what I was able to parse it was a fairly captivating tale. The conversational humor is tragically silly, and the fate of many characters is what you'd expect in a comedic 15th century title.
Where the game waned for me was in a randomness of difficulty. There is no levelling system, and I can't fault the devs here because the game is short, but you run out of ways to really bolster your character pretty early. You gain a few items that will make your party stronger by the means of armor, weapons, and buffs that permanantly boost your stats, but that takes enough time to kick in for early fights to hurt. Most encounters are short and enemies don't have too much health, but early on you'll feel the pain of just about everything. As you advance in the game and get new party members and a few items, things feel very doable as long as you have the coin to purchase items to spam during and after fights. There's a few times where you're locked into fighting with no way to gain back your health/mana equivalent and it felt a little unbalanced.
In all Felvidek is a mostly-forgettable Hylics-Like unless you're really looking for a walkthrough of Eastern Europe in the 15th Century with some neat visuals and music.
