i've been picking away at "eastward" bit by bit for several months now... chinese action rpg with zelda dungeons and mother 3 characters. gorgeous high-res gba style spritework that makes a good canvas for lighting effects. just a really nice vibe in general that reminds me of reading an adventure comic book. controlling two characters at once can get a little fiddly though, and NPCs definitely talk too much for their own good. that's basically why small sessions fill me up for a long time, but i always enjoy when i come back. it's rare for me to play a game in small chunks like this rather than straight through, and it's a nice change of pace... i guess that pace is also what helps it feel like reading a currently running monthly comic series.
