Please play it in Chinese, even if you dont understand it.

The chinese VA is enthusiastic and is talking like a real human. He has emotions.

The english VA is boring and reads everything like a script.

Definitely going to double dip on this. It was great on PC but I didn't get to play as much as I'd like. It'll be a nice commute game.
 
What is this game about?

Its a 2D "DmC" kind of game with a twist. Cant give away too much of the story without spoiling.

If you played Stanley Parable its like a 2D version of that. The narrator is speaking to you knowing you are just a player. Like he tells you to go right, you are going left and he talks to you about that.

Aw yes! Was always tempted to buy it on Steam. Good that i held out, as i prefer to play these kinda games on a handheld.

two questions:

- does it have english subtitles?
- is there a video / are there videos to compare the two?

It has english subtitles.

Maybe you can compare these:

English:

Chinese:

I timestamped both at a similar point. It gets even worse the more you play the game. The english VA stays at the same emotionless "range" the whole time, while the Chinese VA can get mad, might be funny, might be sad etc.

Sound neat. Also that cover is dope. Reminds me of Valkyrie Profile on psp. I like single character covers. I believe Japan gets them at lot more than the US does (at least the good ones anyway).
 
Sadly I will put in my opinion as I thought the game was boring. Maybe spoiler?:
The meta-narrative was nothing special, especially after Undertale.
Good luck to the team regardless!
 
Just checked the Steam store page for this to see what it was like, and saw it's going to be 70% off on Steam from the 20th to the 26th.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Always in for a good brawler.
