Olija

2021

When the combat works, it's pretty good. The game system itself is... not great. UI is confusing. Lots of times when I'm wondering if my ranged weapons actually did anything. Impossible to redo a boss fight with different hat (was stuck on the final boss for a while because I couldn't go back and choose a different hat).

Also the story was just... Like I feel like I kinda know what they're trying to do but like, it just didn't work. When an NPC died I just... didn't care. I have no idea who/what the enemies are. The relationship between the main character and Olija (the literal name of the game) just isn't there? Honestly the game felt a lot like White Savior Orientalist Bullshit during a lot of points, though I was relieved to find that half the names in the credits are Japanese.
