AAA devs should add the option to play as busty fat furry women. It's an infinite money generator right there

Furrybait and proportion sliders aside, Atlyss is a wickedly slick and fast-paced action/adventure RPG that shows tremendous promise in its early development state.

Set in a charming fantasy world painted with a turn-of-the-millennium graphical brush, it blends the old school questing of early MMOs with modern, agile combat reminiscent of Sekiro. Its relatively simple class/talent options enable a surprising amount of build variety and hybridization, which shines its brightest when shared with others in the game's hugely-encouraged (though completely optional) cooperative multiplayer lobbies. Movement is fast and fun, progression is satisfyingly paced such that rewards feel meaningful but never stagnant, and all of this is provided by a single-developer project very early in its lifespan.

To discredit this game based on its art style or the (considerably over-memed) presence of a few suggestive elements would be to miss out on one of the most adeptly-delivered ARPGs of the year. With the time and enthusiasm needed to see this nascent world blossom into a full-release fantasy adventure, we could very well be experiencing one of the most triumphant titles to quietly emerge in the genre; and yes, a refreshingly adorable one at that.

yknow, if i had a nickel for every time i played a game with a ps1 aesthetic involving platforming and character with mixtures of deer bunny and cat, i'd have two nickels, which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice, right?
