Mosaic butchering that angered Nintendo.

It's not a loop. It's a spiral.

I've never played the beta but it's a good refresh to play this from other FPS games.

This is still in the early stages but I sincerely hope they upgrade from EasyAntiCheat as I am worried about cheat development.

Cats.

(Also play it in Indonesian if you can understand it)

Five hours in and I am having withdrawal syndrome from not playing it. Careful of the addiction.

For some reason the 2D of this game gave me motion sickness.

As someone that came from the same country that this was developed in, I felt obligated to review this game objectively for the sake of a better Indonesian game development in the future. Played the game on Susah/Hard.

Before we start, I would like to mention that the jokes in this game is amazing and it was what drove me to play this game. KPM (K****l per minute) is very high and is complemented by today's full range of Indonesian swear words. God forbid the Indonesian government drops its atomic bomb on this game.

Now, let's talk about the main crux of the game, the fighting mechanics. This game has mediocre mechanics. Fighting felt like your typical beat em' up but with limited move set. There are not enough movement variation. Enemies are fair but a bit exploitable. You can consume an item in the middle of an enemy's attack and somehow their attack would end without causing any damage. You can also pretty much stun lock an enemy on the ground with cheesy combo and enough recovery stat. It also seems like group of enemies do not want to attack you as a group and take turns in attacking unless you are cornered.

Budi's movement and control is pretty responsive but it is definitely flawed on some other areas. The targeting control are slightly wonky as I cannot select who I want to target. I occasionally cannot open the item menu and there is also no way to pre-select your Gerakan Gokil without using it once. In addition, the default control scheme for controller is strange and non-standard (what kind of game uses LT/L2 to run and dodge?).

Story is a meh. While I like Budi along with his motivation and bad luck, most of my complaint is on the tritagonists and supporting characters. There is just not enough development for them. We just sort of meet them, fight a lot of enemies alone, and somehow just get bombarded by information near the end of the game. Other than the main antagonist (and his group), the other small antagonists don't appear again until the end of the game.

The main antagonist is also a bit weird as he suddenly becomes the crazy guy without much of a push. While I understand his motivation, the momentum of our encounter with him does not line up with his mental breakdown. There should have been a point in the middle of the game where meet him and humiliate him once more before he goes into his crazy murderer mind.

Art decision is okay. The 3D models of the character is bad but the 2D art is great. I like how every character has a wide range of expression/variant. The environment is average and somehow Jayakarta is very clean (compared to its real life counterpart). The 2D cutscenes are okay, there is just a lot of speedline background cutscenes. Fighting animations are okay but all other animations are subpar. This might not be true but I have a hunch that the main decision to use 2D art for cutscenes is to avoid using 3D animated cutscenes and save time.

Music is good but some are lacking character. The main and ending music is great. The ambience music is okay. The fighting music is just your typical "rock/metal for beat em' up" music that is just not unique enough.

Technical-wise, I feel like this game cuts a lot of corners. It uses Unreal Engine which is great and looks okay. There are only 3 playable maps and we mostly play on the school. There are some strange bugs I encountered (enemies stuck on the sky and stuck UI interaction). Minigames are pretty limited. Item usage, stat upgrades, and Gerakan Gokil are not balanced. The T-pose Gerakan Gokil feels like a last minute decision to replace an unfinished one.

There is also New Game+. I played it a little but I think the enemies are the same strength as they are in normal game. So if you have overkill stats, you might just cruise easily through the New Game+ mode. Replayability is not that great as there is just not enough content and there is no achievement for it either.

Overall, I enjoyed the game for the quick challenge of obtaining achievements, humorous/cringe dialog, and story outcome. For 100k IDR, its like having a fancy dinner at some restaurant but I would wait until the next sale if I were to purchase this game again (hopefully no atomic bomb from the government).

You a cat person? Buy it, without questions or doubt.

Jokes aside, it's a good game but the story might feel kinda short for some people.

Does not have invert Y option for mouse.

Hexagonal calmness.
