Alabaster Dawn

spirit-den, Support_Man, if possible, please add!

What genre is this? An isometric "Hack & Slash" adventure in the style of old, GOOD mobile games.You have to play as a girl who, with "God's help," is trying to save the world from a swarm of insectoids. And yes, it's cliche, but HOW this cliche is done deserves a separate story!

Visual. - Perfect pixel art! The animation, the drawings, the filling of the world with scenery, everything is at the highest level.! 10 out of 10 to the artist and a bow at his feet! The game's graphics are spot on! You've never seen a game with such beautiful and detailed animations.!

Scenario. - The platitudes about "strong and independent", who is shown as weak and dependent)) Lol. You play as a girl who gained her powers not through hard work and perseverance, but, literally, "a gift from God." Plus, in our adventure, we are aided by a girl named Philia, who is our right-hand woman and, it seems to me, a secret lesbian interest.but more on that later XD)
The story is written with care, but nothing more.. There are no gripping dialogues that will bring tears to your eyes, and there is no storyline that will keep you interested.... Just enough to elicit a yawn. A typical world-saving-from-bugs scenario, complete with flashbacks. Despite the writers' CLEAR efforts, they failed to squeeze out anything truly gripping.

Gameplay. - (It is divided into two types):
1) "Hack and Slash"This is when you have to swing your shiv left and right, killing enemies, and dodging their projectiles. The combat is extremely skill-dependent and is based on clever combos, dynamic switching of weapon presets, ultimates, and clever dodges..
2) PuzzlesThis is when you wait for them to end as soon as possible. The game has a tutorial system that runs through the entire gameplay, where you are gradually taught new game mechanics.But this learning is delivered through riddles. It's like you're in a lesson. You're given a simple problem, and then you take a test on it. And the difficulty gradually increases.
And at the end of the level, a boss will be waiting for you, who combines both the combat system and these very same riddles, so that the game will test whether you have learned and remembered everything.

- Leveling. - It looks crooked and shitty.It seems like it's tailored for some arcade game from the 2000s. Although, in pumping and combined the "LbD-system", as well as the "Exp-per-mob" systemAll you get is a weapon combo unlock, or a VERY SLIGHT stat boost from the passive skill tree. There are also weapon Runes, which still provide the same percentage boost. IMHO, whoever made the leveling tree tried, but it still didn't work out..
There is also cooking., in which you can use ingredients to make a dish that gives you healing charges, plus provide yourself with "pressure boosters" in battle.


Despite the infuriating riddles, This game tries to keep you on edge with dynamic combat, plus it tells you a story, trying to present it piece by piece, as if you were watching a TV series..
In the end, this is an average representative of the old mobile RPGs, from 2007, BUT! Thanks to the set designer, this game is a VISUAL MASTERPIECE and definitely worth playing!


Absolutely! If you enjoy dynamic, skill-based combat and love pixel art, you'll definitely love this game. BUT! If you're not particularly impressed by the visual style and just want the gameplay, and the hack-and-slash action mixed with boring dialogue doesn't grab you, then pass on...

Politan, thank you kind person!!!
