I now find myself between a rock and a hard place: with only a sliver of health left and 0 medkits available, I have to either face projectile firing enemies in the garden maze, or try and defeat a giant trident-throwing squid lady, ironically also hiding at the end of a maze. Just like the limited amount of ink-ribbons in old Resident Evil titles, I’ve spent too many resources on killing all the enemies, saving too frequently, and buying upgrades too soon. I have a personal rule where I have to beat a game 100% or at least have seen the credits roll before I attempt a review, but sadly, I’ve saved myself into a corner. You play as an Elite Royal Agent called Alisa. Alisa is a Horror-themed Action Adventure game and a genuine throwback to the golden age of 90s 3D games. I’ve only found two locations where he appears and they are far and few between and he WILL run out of stock, so you better make those medkits count.Īnd with that comes a confession… I haven’t beaten the game Alisa is a classic late-90s style horror-themed action adventure set in a fantasy universe inspired by the 1920s. The merchant selling these to you is called Pol, a funny-looking and sounding hand-puppet that appears in holes in the wall across the victorian mansion (makes you wonder what’s at the other end of the arm) and he’s not here to do you any favors. While this does help you figure things out, the glacial pace of the opening scene makes me think it might have been better left out or replaced completely by a cutscene, not unlike the way the first Resident Evil drops you in the mansion at the start of the game.Īt the end of the intro, you get knocked out and you wake up dressed in old clothes, all alone in a creepy house full of mechanized dolls. This intro serves as a way to get to grips with the tank controls I’ve mentioned earlier, but in a setting without combat. You’re in a train and agents are getting dropped off at different stops. Alisa takes place in the 1920s and you play as a special agent tracking down a criminal who has stolen something valuable. (though it’s not 100% accurate) Enter the dollhouseīut before we dig deeper into the gameplay, let’s set the scene. Nothing good ever seems to come from entering these old mansions. Our heroine is an Elite Royal Agent out looking for a wanted criminal, which leads her to an old Victorian mansion. A change of wardrobe can shift your stats, giving you an edge against them, though. The orange reticule icon next to your gun (as seen in the screenshot above) indicates that your shot will hit. Alisa sees you dealing with an array of clockwork horrors with different abilities.
If your gun has a large range, you can shoot enemies off-screen, as long as you can position your aim well enough. About This Game Join the apprentice mage, Alisa, as she goes on a journey to retrieve the Five Spirit Jewels and prove her worth to become a full-fledged mage in this old school RPG Story Brau Village is a small community where the people live in peace, blessed by the protection of the Five Spirit Jewels. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen an aiming system quite like this. Home › Gaming › Alisa game review: A nostalgic trip down memory lane
