The protagonist is distilled teenage angst, and the story is laughably dark and unnecessarily pessimistic at time, but the NPCs often point this out and the game seems self aware enough to make it bearable.
Beyond that, the setting itself is interesting,

Really well written. Prepare to immerse yourself into the shoes of a hardened bastard of a mercenary, whose aimless journey can get surprisingly philosophical, as misery seems to follow everywhere he goes. I had a lot of fun piecing together his backstory

I absolutely loved it! Awesome writing, music and atmosphere, and it indeed reminded me of Planescape: Torment, and even of The Age of Decadence, which both are big favourites of mine. I was sorry to see on the game's website that the developer doesn't in

Another really fascinating RPGMaker Dark fantasy title. Stacks up very favorably beside fear and hunger and Toymaker, well written and interesting world, with a main character that is very atypical, in that he's very much a character but not a sympathetic

If by looking at the images you are thinking that this is another random RPGmaker game with a corny plot, well, I hope you will change idea because this is a really dark and original RPG with an incredible writing. The best thing about the Pale City is de

10/10 - This game is fucking awesome.
It might be a matter of taste but I found it to be an example of my "ideal" game play experience. Story-driven dark fantasy that is mechanically challenging as well. There is a particular way you have to defeat cert

What a miserable existence. For fans of Fear & Hunger and Age of Decadence.
Don't expect much role-playing, or rich & complex combat, but the writing is what you play for. Highly recommend exploring, interacting with the environment and NPCs, and doing "s

One of the best rpgs I've ever played. Incredible writing across the board, some of best I've seen in any video game. Combat is difficult but engaging, feeling like a puzzle at times where you'll to take full advantage of the moveset you have. This is rea

Rare to find a modern RPG with any balls.
Graphics are sub-Arcanum, satisfactory for a one man effort and suit the depressive atmosphere.
Story compelling enough to finish the game, with sufficient lore and characters in the world to provide immersion.

A fun and well-written RPG. It had my interest the entire time I played. Highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys narrative experiences and surreal worlds. Just remember to save a lot because there are plenty of dangerous encounters and they can spring at

"The Pale City" is a top-down one-character roleplaying adventure with a distinctive combat system and heavy emphasis on lore and narration, set in a unique grimdark world.

The Pale City is a narrative focused rpg with a realistic take on sword combat. Graphically, the game is reminiscent of ARPG's from the late and early 2000's. Sporting 3d models for it's sprites, the game isn't beautiful, but nostalgic. The writing and pr

I think the story makes The Pale City more than worth playing. It's bleak, but it raises interesting questions without feeling like it's too far up its own arse or talking down to you, and I found it very engaging throughout. The gameplay is only ok and t

If you're a fan of extremely dark lore, well written dialogue (or maybe downright vulgar at times) and a variety of personalities for characters in your games. This is absolutely for you. It looks retro-ish/very lore heavy/well written (Though there is th

The writing is surprisingly good, so if you're up for a really, really, really dark story and graphics aren't important to you, you may like this one.

While [i]The Pale City[/i] might be both grim and dark, but you’d be absolutely remiss to discount it as “just another grimdark RPG.” Immediately indelible, the setting feels like it takes place on a neighboring plane adjacent to [i]Planescape: Torm

I haven't played a ton yet, and I might update my review later, but so far I'm really liking it.
It won't win any beauty pageants, but this game is about storytelling through exploration, and so far it has done a great job.
Even the combat helps show w

I didn't refund it, so it must be good? Don't remember. But if I didn't like it, I would've refunded it...surely.
