The seasonal powers in the game work very well, giving you For instance, winter will freeze water and spring will make climbable vines. You visit dungeons, within which is an item pivotal to solving the dungeon fight monsters with a dodging, parrying, strike style of combat and can create spheres of seasonal magic that change the way certain sections of the world function. The gameplay is a Zelda-like action adventure game with some interesting puzzle mechanics. Nothing is gained by the end of this story, except the damage to my I try to be as fair as possible in these reviews, but it is soįrustrating to see a game like Ary with such a good concept and such terribleĭelivery. A very unfunny parody with awkwardly implementedĬharacters. The story seems more like a parody of other fantasyĪdventure games than anything. I mean, this world has a monarchy that enslaves lost children in crystal mines, something that is brought up and pushed aside very quickly, and I’m supposed to want to save it? The evillest thing the Mage does in the whole plot is activate a giant robot in the desert and it didn’t even have a chance to destroy anything! This was my expression while writing that last sentence I don’t care about the world anymore because everyone in it seems very content to just make do. It feels less like a grand adventure and more like cleaning up the mess of powerful man-children, which is surprisingly appropriate for this day and age. It seems fun to make everyone a goofy idiot, but that doesn’t endear the world to me. The serious problems in the story are mostly due to the fantastical negligence Inconvenienced by the INCREDIBLY EASY TO SOLVE weather changes at best. What’s at stake because nothing seems to be. Sit with me well, and it’s because there is no gravity. I spent a long time wondering why the story of Ary didn’t Smashed on “fruit juice” one day and lose their crystals, prompting Ary to go Season guardians, a society of incompetent old people armed with the power ofĬreating small spheres containing their relevant season. The game is mostly spent trying to clean up the mess of the No one thinks to try this until a magic summer whale tells a child to do so. The land of Valdi is being slightly bothered by a change of seasons, something that you can fix by hitting a bunch of crystals five times each with a sword. Ary and the Secret of Seasons is about a young girl on a quest to find her missing and presumably dead brother. Weren’t greatly confident in the story you wrote, so you tried to look cool by It isn’t funny to point out this is a video game and it does you noįavours to make fun of your own dialogue. Please? I don’t mind if there’s one or two jokes that do that, but it ruins Nothing starts off fantasy like a puppet show PremiseĬan we collectively stop breaking the 4 th wall However, the gameplay is generally solid, it looks good and the This game after playing it, because I was not a fan of how the story wasĭelivered. Recommendation, then I can recommend Ary to anyone who enjoys Zelda-styleĪdventure games, and who enjoys skipping cutscenes. If you aren’t keen for a full break down and just want the It ticks a lot of boxes for me, yet I couldn’t get into it. Weather-based magic, quests, themed provinces, golems, beautiful art and character design, good music. I can’t help but feel I’m not the target audience for it, but it contains so many things that I love. Ary and the Secret of Seasons is a game that had me vexed.
