In some positive recommendation from me, i just finished Suits: Absolute Power, the Sequel to Suits: A business RPG, and i enjoyed it a fair bit. I actually heard from it years ago in its release, but only played it now. I did watch the first game on youtube.
It's an rpg maker game about black and white business world filled with "suits" aka people who only work all day and get corrupted/mutated as they use drugs to handle the stress. The world is basically owned by a board of shareholders, and you play the final boss of the first game + the two MCs from that game to kill those shareholders and save the world.
The story is very nonsensical because it's a sequel to a game that was essentially made as OFF fangame / shitpost. Thats why every character is and elsen-like and the only women are decorative plants. This game is still quirky and too many jokes from npcs but it tries it's hardest to make this universe work and explain how this world not only has internal logic but it wasnt always like this.
That being said, i mostly played for the art which i really like. It's clearly a very low budget game but fine.
>THE GOOD
+This game has some great monster designs and i'm biased as fuck towards that.
But the fun part is that
1-ALL enemies have different portraits for each different attack they have, which you unforunnally only see for 1-2s
2-Both you and the enemies go through "corruption" via items or getting attacked and morph into eldritch abominations that feel more in place in a horror game. I can't even find my favourites because this game is so unpopular there is no actual sprite databae online, even the wikia is dead.
(Base -> half corrupted -> full corruption)
Corruption makes your skills to be more effective and raises your hp and atk but also lowers your defense and increase spell cost, so you either die fast or kill fast.
+Also, the soundtrack is unecessarily good, it's very jazzy and full of trumpets but it's a long soundtrack and has some bangers like clogula theme.
+>It's literally 5 dollars and the first game is 1 dollars. Seriously, i almost feel bad pirating this, it's also on 50% sale due to spring sale. I certainly enjoyed it more than other games i mentioned here, but i'll say it took me a little more than 7 hours to beat, altho i did not 100% the game and apparently missed cool quest fights.
+It's really linear and tight, like lisa. You go to a new city, you meet a bunch of weirdos, you kill different enemies that dont respawn each time. I didnt laugh other than a few jokes but every npc drops a quip so something should hit you. It's also surprisingly not about bashing capitalism, but more about realizing sacrificing your friends to rise in the industry is bad.
>The BAD
-It's really shallow as an rpg, even for rpg maker. The characters get 3 spells at most and you'll quickly realize the flowchart of CEO -> kick -> fire spam and Guy -> smog-> atk or heal. CEO gunfire also scales insanely with corruption (seems to do over 2x the dmg) and will probably clutch you early on and blitz annoying bosses. You can also use money for a special character skill or straight up "pay to win" but This game is also extremely gear reliant so you want to spend that money on the top gear you can buy all times.
-The fact that are zero fucking visual effects for spell other than a PUFF smoke and there is only 1 or 2 sound effects that are low and lame (why not use rpg maker SFX?) makes combat feel limp. A boss will do a cartwheel and drop 2/3 of your entire team health and you'll barely hear a noise. There are also bizarre things like the party menu not showing current health which i never seen. edit: You also can't rest anywhere and only full heal on level so you have to buy items.
-I didnt know how the game global corruption system worked and i got locked into the bad/evil ending lol. As you play the game your character gets corrupted overtime and you need to open the hp hud menu (on a separate button) to see that and assume that's what it does. You're supposed to drink water to lower your corruption but that's never implied other than one guy telling you to stay hydrated very late in the game. If you keep your global corruption low you get the option to choose what ending you want which is nice at least.
tl;dr: I'm heavily biased here cause i love scary moster design and i kept playing to see what fucked up cool business creature i'd find next. This is a better horror game than Omori to me. It's also very cheap so i think most people wouldnt regret it as long as they keep their expectations in check.
