Steam Now Hosts "Minimalistic Skyrim"-like Game: Heal with Bread and Encounter Glitchy Dragons
The long-awaited RPG, "The RPG" by Dionysus Acroreites, has finally made its debut on Steam. This unique game is a minimalistic blend of Skyrim, West of Loathing, and Supraland, offering a fresh take on the traditional role-playing game (RPG) genre.
In "The RPG", players embark on a first-person 3D adventure through dungeons, battling or befriending monsters, and exploring a low-poly fantasy world. Unlike many RPGs that are weighed down by intricate stats, complex skill trees, and extensive inventory management, "The RPG" emphasizes simplicity and elegance in gameplay systems.
The game's hybrid gameplay elements create a unique experience. It mixes Skyrim-like open-world exploration and freedom with the comedic and simplistic narrative and art style reminiscent of West of Loathing, plus puzzle and platforming mechanics inspired by Supraland. This fusion results in a departure from the combat-centric focus of traditional RPGs, prioritizing environmental puzzles and exploration mechanics as core gameplay drivers.
The reference to West of Loathing indicates a minimalist, stick-figure aesthetic combined with playful, humorous storytelling, contrasting with the often more serious or high-fantasy tone of traditional RPGs. The game features a dragon that constantly glitches and breaks the game's rules, a loving nod to Bethesda's jank, adding to its quirky charm.
One innovative feature is the healing system. Players have the choice to heal without eating food, a combination of Skyrim's cheese wheel healthcare system and the healing method in Far Cry 3. The lightweight HUD and system requirements suggest that "The RPG" can run on relatively low-end hardware, making it accessible to a wider audience.
"The RPG" is estimated to be around 10 hours long, providing a manageable yet immersive experience. The game is currently available on Steam, and a free demo is available for players to try before they buy. The price is discounted until August 14, down to $13.49 from its usual $14.99.
With positive reviews pouring in, "The RPG" is shaping up to be a must-play for fans of RPGs and those seeking a fresh, minimalistic take on the genre. It's the role-playing game that was long considered missing from Valve's Steam platform. So, gear up and prepare for an exciting journey in this innovative RPG world!
