\"\"<\/a>You wake up in a strange new world with monsters and crazy characters with no idea how you go there.\u00a0 Only thing you know is you can\u2019t leave.\u00a0 So you must explore the \u2018Afterplace\u201d and find out how you got there.\u00a0 This is a retro 8-bit styled top down action adventure.\u00a0 It\u2019s reviewed on Switch but also available on mobile devices.<\/p>\n

You move around a top down world like a Zelda game.\u00a0 One button does a dodge roll and the other attacks with a weapon.\u00a0 Defeated monsters drop coins that you can use at shops to buy better armor, weapons, and other gear.\u00a0 You can also talk to people in towns and other places.\u00a0 The game doesn\u2019t really give you much direction, you\u2019re just tasked to follow your nose and figure things out on your own.<\/p>\n

While I appreciated the open-endedness of this game, the lack of any clear goals made it hard for me to stay interested for long.\u00a0 This is one of those games that was designed by one person, too.\u00a0 Which is amazing, don\u2019t get me wrong, but it also gives the game a bit of an amateurish feel to it, too.\u00a0 But it\u2019s certainly better than what I could do.\u00a0 I got some Undertale vibes from this game, too, so if you liked that one, you might want to check this out as well.\u00a0 There\u2019s just too much other things competing for my time for me to stay interested in a game like this right now.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Afterplace is rated E-10 with ESRB descriptors of Fantasy Violence and Mild Language. You hit little blocky monsters that disappear when hit.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t notice any bad language in the text, but there is a lot of it so strong reading skill is needed.\u00a0 Near the beginning of the game, there is a guy that offers you drugs, though, so because of that and the lack of clear goals, this game is probably best for older gamers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
