Description: Most of the living word and the surface has been destroyed during the Geocubic wars of the past. A devastating technology that crystalizes structures was weaponized and used heavily during the wars which attributes to the baron wastes you will explore. You are in search of a rare herb that has begun to grow in the wastes as it is your best hope of saving your ailing grandfather. Despite the dangers that still inhabit the wastes, you head out armed with your sidearm, searching the once inhabited surface.
Review: While I can appreciate that ‘Arobynn: The First Adventure’ was knocked up in a bedroom with “scraps” what I can’t appreciate is just how unplayable the game is. It doesn’t tell you the controls, it took me ages to even work out how to get the gun out and the UI is nothing more than text blocks. I can look past the super basic graphics and lack of animation given the small asking price, but it does have to at least be playable which this is not. I really needed a lot more work before it was launched and for now, I really can’t recommend it. And yes, it is only playable standing (not wheelchair friendly), I had to prop myself up on my table just to get a gun out!
