1000xResist

1000xResist is an indie game that visually recalls the atmosphere of Nier Automata but diverges significantly in gameplay. This title is more of a walking simulator/visual novel, set in a moody, dark science fiction world. The experience is further enhanced by a solid soundtrack that adds depth to the setting. Pros: Original Narrative: The story is highly original and gripping, using innovative techniques such as time jumps and different perspectives to engage the player. Distinct Art Style: Although the visuals are not cutting-edge, the game has a unique and interesting art style that sets it apart. Solid Soundtrack: The music enhances the moody atmosphere, though it may not resonate with everyone. Compelling Characters: The characters are captivating, adding emotional depth to the narrative. Cons: Gameplay Issues: The gameplay involves a lot of running around areas, which can be tedious. Navigation Difficulties: Linked to the above, some large areas have maps that are difficult to navigate, wasting time and detracting from the storytelling experience. Length: The game felt a bit long at over 10 hours. Basic Graphics: The graphical quality is somewhat basic, which might not appeal to all players. 1000xResist may not be for everyone, but for those who appreciate a gripping narrative, original storytelling techniques, and captivating characters, this game is a hidden gem. Despite some navigational and pacing issues, its unique art style and solid soundtrack make it a memorable experience for fans of the genre.

1000xRESIST is a game that will leave you confused, amazed, and frightened in all the best ways possible. Once you think you've gotten it all figured out, it throws ten more curveballs at you. With fantastic characterization, a soundtrack like no other, and a truly unique art style, 1000xRESIST is ALMOST perfect. Unfortunately, it is held back by a few things. Save files don't actually save the current moment you're in - when you load a save file, you might be kicked back anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes. Additionally, the lack of graphical settings on PC leaves a game that, while unique in its art style, is downright ugly to look at at times. This is mostly due to the complete lack of antialiasing. The waypoint system leaves much to be desired, and does very little to ease completionist woes. Overall, I still highly recommend 1000xRESIST, despite its few shortcomings.
