![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Phoenotopia: Awakening takes place in the nation of Castella, and begins in the small village of Pansela, the home of the main character Gail. The extensive scope and scale of the game made more sense after learning that this game has been in the making for over six years. It was originally created as a flash game which was released in 2014 and simply titled Phoenotopia. Eventually, I realized I had to buckle down, ignore my typical gaming urges, and focus on the main plotline so I could actually write the review.Īt its core, Phoenotopia: Awakening is a 2D action-adventure game with a splendid pixel art aesthetic, and as a whole, it is much more elaborate than a simple side-scrolling action platformer. It took me just as long to realize that this is not the type of game I like to play to review – there’s tons of stuff to do, to the point that you just get completely wrapped up in the game and spend hours and hours talking to characters to learn their stories and the lore of the land, as well as thoroughly exploring each area, looking for hidden items and encounters and trying to complete every side quest. There are a bunch of side activities, ranging from fishing and cooking to joining a treasure hunting club. Each area opens up even more as you gain new weapons and abilities. It has a huge world with many locations you can explore. After playing for a few hours I realized that developer Cape Cosmic’s Phoenotopia: Awakening is exactly the type of game I like to play in my free time. ![]()
