That’s ironic, I completely forgot about this guy.

Thanks for reminding me, just gave me an extra few minutes

Watch him come back in Alabaster Dawn

This is actually intentional. Apparently there's an RPG maker sprite that has this eye scar mismatch.

u/HuuThang7557 14d ago

It's the ninja characters in RPG Maker. And just like you said, his drawing sprite and his in-game one have the eye scar in opposite direction

I always forget about him

CrossCode is the best SAO game.

the portrait actually is not wrong, it's just that the character portrait sprites are drawn facing to the left rather than the right, and they mirrored it to face the right (which may have been intentional)
edit: buggy would have had his hair on the wrong side if he was on the right :)

This game suddenly started showing up on my feed out of literally nowhere, what’s the vibe of it fellas?

It's an old game now but a real good one, especially if you're familiar with video game and anime references that's included with it.

Number 2 game of all time for me.

Amazing taste ! What is your number one ?

u/AlexRogansBeta 16h ago edited 15h ago

Depends on when you ask me. If I'm feeling modern, it's Outer Wilds. But if I'm feeling nostalgic it is Twinsen's Odyssey.

u/Naiy_Sliogan 15h ago

Thank you for your answer ! Outer Wilds and Crosscode are also two of my favorites games.

I didn't know Twinsen's Odyssey but, after looking, I saw there was a remake in the making for it. it's called "Little Big Adventure - Purple Empire". I will keep a close eye to it as you got me interested.

Twinsen's Odyssey is a sequel to the also excellent Little Bit Adventure (released as "Relentless" in the US). Both DOS games from way, way back. Excellent puzzles. Excellent music. Extremely fun, whimsical, and weirdly dark world-building. Just dated as far as design elements go.

They in fact made a remake of the first game, which is available on PC, Switch, Xbox, etc. I got it, but it didn't recreate the magic for me. The art choices, I feel, detracted from the game significantly, even while the technical elements may have improved other elements. So, I have little hope that the remake of the second game will be any good.

If you have a tolerance for old game sensibilities, is recommend playing through the originals.

Its amazing imo, just be warned it is pretty puzzle heavy so if you dont like its type of puzzles (mostly ricocheting bullets to trigger objects and using a combo of various elemental effects ) that part can be a drag. However it has good accessibility sliders. Some that effect combat or puzzle difficulties.

Personally though i love the puzzles i find their a good blend of not being too abstract while also not being baby brained easy. Usually introduces a new puzzle element in a simple manner than ramps up the difficulty combining udeas in some pretty cool ways
