Now that Neofeud’s been out for about 3 months, there’s been some feedback from existing players that I figured you guys might be interested to hear. The good thing is, I still haven’t heard any really negative experiences from players, even those who tried the demo! Check out some of the responses from Neofeud players below:
And here’s a couple user reviews from those who bought Neoeud on Itch.io (Itch doesn’t display links to the reviews anymore for some reason :O )
Fitz:
“Dystopian sci-fi is very popular among point&click adventure game enthusiast these days — and Neofeud is on par with the genre’s neo-classics such as Technobabylon and Primordia. Its strongest suit is the writing. The investigation revolves around an engaging story of inequality, injustice, hubris, depravity and twisted socio-politics. It’s a biting satire on the world of today, translated into the archetypes of futurism, with robots, flying cars and AI viewed through the dark sunglasses of cyberpunk. It gets really philosophical, esoteric even, with its musings on human consciousness and alternate realities — but it doesn’t shy away from comic relief, either. There are nods to film classics of the 80’s and 90’s, plenty of outrageous name puns, and two quirky sidekicks helping Karl Carbon on his mission.
The graphics have their own unique style: instead of going for huge pixels (as most retro adventure games do) or pre-rendered 3D, Neofeud’s locations and characters are part digipainted, part collage — which, surprisingly, fits the game’s world itself perfectly. The music — various styles and flavors of electronica — goes well with the cyberpunk settings and the plot itself, as it shifts between grim stagnation, action and moments of reverie. The voice acting is solid — and indeed, the characters talk a lot. Interactions seem to be the most important game mechanics, logical puzzles being on the simple side, so as to keep the story going. There’s plenty of action and plot twists, and an epic dramatic grand finale.”
Jack o Jack:
“Best point’n’click I ever played in years! Looks like there’s lot of work behind this
I had a blast just listening to the dialogues and spotting all the references
For anyone who hasn’t yet bought Neofeud, it is on sale for one more day, so get it quick!
