Memoria is more than your average indie point-and-click. It is ambitious in its bold art style and in its storytelling, and it hits its goals perfectly. It is ever so slightly unstable, and the hotspot view may put some genre veterans off (although, it is purely optional), and the magic system adds a new layer to the already clever puzzle solving. This is a title that I can happily put alongside some of the classic adventure titles, like the Syberia games.
Memoria Freese, a mobile RPG based of light novel and anime series, Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in A Dungeon?, is now available on iOS and Android for western audiences.
How often can you pick up a good game for less than R50? How about eight great games for R47? The new Indie Legends 5 bundle from Bundle Stars packs eight of the best Indie titles of the year (valued at over R1400) into one great bundle, and it only costs $3.49 (R47.22)!
The glory days of LucasArts point-and-click adventures were great days to be gaming. I personally cut my teeth on Maniac Mansion, and after that the rest was history. Games with puzzles, wit and humor were the norm. The Monkey Island’s of yesteryear now reduced to Kickstarters and episodes.
But Daedalic Entertainment hasn’t forgotten. With just a sneak peak at its classically-designed adventure game Memoria, it is very clear that this game has packed everything that made the oldies great into a modern package.
