Felvidek Review - Don't judge a book by its cover, szivecske

When I first came across Felvidek, the initial emotion I felt was probably... confusion. I was taken by surprise by what I was seeing: a retro-style RPG set in medieval Europe (more specifically, 15th century Slovakia), with engaging turn-based combat, extremely lofi graphics, dialogue scenes that alternate between the serious and the outrageously comedic, and a plot that takes a handful of unexpected turns? Honestly, I didn't expect to like it as much as I did, but here we are: Felvidek is actually a very competently made RPG that, while not taking itself tremendously seriously, manages to be thoroughly entertaining from start to finish.

All in all, Felvidek has been one of the biggest indie surprises of the year for me, mostly because I didn't expect it to be such a genuinely memorable experience. Beneath the outer veneer of its silly, Monty Python-esque sense of humor and bizarrely entertaining dialogue scenes, there's also a fun and engaging game to be found, with mildly challenging turn-based battles, amusing characters and a storyline that takes one unexpected turn after another, especially if you go into it anticipating a standard, run-of-the-mill medieval RPG. Highly recommended if you're looking for something wildly different from the norm.
