The list of good things to say about it is rather long, so it's best you just play the game." - Softpedia (4/5)"There is always something the story tells and one thing leads to another in interesting ways." - Games in Asia ID (5/5)Set in a futuristic universe in which artificial intelligence is considered religious taboo, Sage Fusion tells the adventure of a businessman and his bodyguard who visit the planet of Capistad, the capital of the galaxy where two major political powers are centered: the liberal government and the fanatical church.

And even though I don't usually get into click and point adventure games, those elements are nicely integrated. Oh, and despite the description, it also runs perfectly fine on a 3GS. Haven't played enough to give a full recommendation, but I'm enjoying it so far. syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #4 syntheticvoid, Jan 2, 2013 I picked this up back when it was released.... I think I played for about 4 or 5 screens/rooms, and haven't touched it since. =o/ awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #5 awp69, Jan 2, 2013 Just out of curiosity, what did you not like about it? It's definately got a different feel than just about any RPG I've played. There is a ton of text and quite a bit of point/click mechanics which I'm not crazy about. But nothing that's turned me away from it. I may end up with a different opinion, but I'm actually curious to see how / if it ramps up in terms of action. syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #6 syntheticvoid, Jan 2, 2013 Not too sure... it just didn't hold my attention, and didn't seem to really have anything that made me want to go back to it. I mean, I'm sure that eventually I'll go back and play through it, with the hopes that the mechanics get deeper and more complex, and same with the puzzles, but I won't be surprised if that's not the case.

Maybe I will leave my impressions once I've finished playing. awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #8 awp69, Jan 2, 2013 Well, after putting about an hour into the game, SV might have had the right idea to put this aside. Haven't hit a battle since the tutorial! Slow and chatty. Not sure how much more I will play if it continues at this pace.

Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #10 Exact-Psience, Jan 3, 2013 I opened up to this and bought it before even without the RPG-type of character progression since they said this is more an adventure game (point and click-ish type) but with battles. And just like SV, i played it for about 2 hours, then just never fired up the game again. It didnt click with me and the there was nothing that was pulling me back in orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 1,997 145 63 #11 orangecan, Jan 3, 2013 Didn't click with me either ditto the previous posts I put about an hour into it and quite enjoyed what I played but can't see myself ever picking it up again. Obviously it's worth checking out for free but something about it just didn't gel. HeroComa Well-Known Member Jul 13, 2009 132 0 16 Student Long Beach, California #12 HeroComa, Jan 3, 2013 The game isn't half bad, the battles take a while but the story is pretty interesting, though its somewhat religious it has its strong points in delivering its story, the characters is also somewhat mediocre but one of the characters Marlon is pretty cool because of his character being the witty thief like structure and the mysterious Alvonse who gives a sense of a awkward protagonist, idk about you guys but this game isn't that half bad, sure it can be a little slow paced but isn't that how good games started off as?
