Game is almost Amazing. BUT, the game needs some serious QOL gameplay and mechanic overhauls before I could recommend it. I really love the idea, theme, art direction, and influences this game shows lovingly. The combat is absolutely terrible, enemies can hit you repeatedly not allowing you to get up or outrun them, each enemy deals tremendous damage, the weapons are so difficult to use due to the low turn speed for …

Do not misunderstand me, I am in love with this game. With its classic PS1 aesthetic, clunky survival horror mechanics, and freaky, weird characters, this game has already captured my heart. But let me warn you: Alisa is HARD AS HELL. This game punishes you so severely that you might not get to enjoy all the things I just mentioned. Aiming is tough because there's no crosshair and on top of that, some monsters move …

I love every element of this game. If you're an old school survival horror fan, this is totally for you. Pre-rendered backgrounds, tank control, puzzles and game difficulty. I wouldn't say this made in 2021 or at least it feels more made in golden era for survival horrors. But long story short give it a shot you'll love it

After having rolled credit for this game 5 times, I feel it to be my duty to recommend this game on the store page. This game is the absolute CLOSEST a game has come (in my searching) of perfectly replicating that original PS1 survival horror feel. Now, that comes with the good and the bad, but if you're anything like me, you won't mind. Those slightly clunky physics, locked cameras, and tank controls are all so …

Feels like a trip back to the ’90s. Reminds me of the horror games I used to play as a kid.

Players who liked Alisa talk about authentic PS1 survival horror nostalgia; those who didn't talk about combat is clunky and frustrating. Which matters more to you?

But it's a very well regarded oldschool Survival Horror, which is supremely up my alley and they announced a sequel so I'll have to get to it soon.

neutral · AI labelView post →For better or for worse this is the most uncompromising attempt of an homage to classic PSX survival horror I have played so far. A lot of other games have nailed the art style, and the exploration. But no other game is willing to give us genuine, honest to goodness, blood-pressure raising, dpad aim. In a game with pre-rendered graphics no less, that good garbo! This game could be right up on a shelf with Dino Crisis and Fear Effect and it wouldn't look a hair out of place. Enemies are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I been thinking about this for a bit but for Trails fans, was there ever a character you were meh about when originally playing a game but a replay or later games made you like them a bit more? Alisa and Elie were that for me until I did replays of their games

neutral · AI labelView post →Really really liked this one, even though there were some issues. Atmosphere and setting was great, felt kinda like if you mashed mcgee's alice (specifically madness returns imo) with classic resident evil. The music while not the most memorable except for some tracks was very fitting and added to the atmosphere (even the occasional choice of silence). Gameplay felt tight and responsive, but way easier than what I expected with the advertised "soulsborne" difficulty? Which I don't really…

neutral · AI labelView post →I will not be finishing this. I'm kicking myself a bit about it because I dig the vibe and it feels pretty close to a game I'd like but the issues have stacked up too much by (from what I understand) is the halfway point. Combat in Alisa is terrible and borders on broken. This would be acceptable if there was not so much of it and it was not required to earn currency which gives all upgrades, weapons and even moderates the save system. Besides that there are several other frustrating…

neutral · AI labelView post →The old school prerendered CGI are simply incredible, but my God the combat is ROUGH... hitboxes and hurtboxes are incredibly wonky. Also, no brightness control for a game this dark is a huge oversight... also changing the voice to Off mid game breaks it and you can`t turn it on again. There`s a lot to love here but the rough parts are too annoying to disconsider

neutral · AI labelView post →Amazing game, I love it! I beat the game before it had the achievements. So much fun that I was secretly played the whole game while at work on the computer. But no Tank Controls for console versions is a stupid choice on devs part. Considering it's survival horror game with fixed camera angles. Pretty please, add the Tank Controls for the all console versions of the game.

positive · AI labelView post →If you're on the fence about this game, I'd say it should be a no. There are other games that are trying to emulate this style that do a far better job A lot of the quirks of the game are in the 90s psx style it's going for, so I'm not going to fault the aesthetic. The tank controls are better, the voice acting fits right in, touching every single wall and object is the vibe, the weird humor, and so forth. It's amazing But at some point janky aiming isn't quirky, it's bad. Why for the love…

positive · AI labelView post →As of writing this review, I have not finished the game, though I do intend to. To put it briefly, this game has 25 years of history to learn about Resident Evil-like survival horrors, given that it seems heavily inspired by such games. I cannot even force myself to believe that the designer has learned ANY lessons from the wealth of time that this genre of game has enjoyed. Many fixed camera angles are strewn about at odd places and angles, causing disorientation both inside and outside of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really REALLY wanted to like this game. I love resident evil and the alice in wonderland influence, but this game is so frustrating. I found myself constantly lost. Why can they not show you on the f*cking map as an arrow? Why can they not show a key symbol next to the locked doors on the map so I don't have to remember what key is for what door? The combat is just such a f*cking chore, especially if you chose to not have auto aim early on. Some of the puzzles are so f*cking obscure even for…
