Combining 16-bit graphics with modern gameplay mechanics, you embody Lea, a mute woman who is plunged into a fictional MMORPG called CrossWorlds. This futuristic world has seven areas full of secrets to discover, as well as seven dungeons to explore.

But you'll have to defeat more than 120 types of enemies and over 30 bosses. For this, you can use several attacks and more than 90 combat arts. Finally, with a main story that lasts about 30 hours, you can complete a hundred quests, allowing you to discover every aspect of the game.

In total, 17,676 players have left a review on Steam, and 92% of them are positive. Metacritic shows a Metascore of 86 and a user score of 8.4. As a result, many players loved its story and its 2D world. Its puzzles inspired by Zelda and exploration system are also strong points. In addition, according to HowLongToBeat, it will take you about 80 hours to complete the game.

But while it has its qualities, it also has its flaws, such as a gameplay that can seem repetitive throughout the game. The story also takes a long time to develop and lacks pace, which can be frustrating. And according to SteamDB, this price of $5.99 was first reached on June 22, 2023.
