Pier Solar and the Great Architects Demo

Pier Solar and the Great Architects is a turn-based role-playing game developed and published by a studio named WaterMelon.

Some of you might remember that a very long time ago there were some amazing 8-bit and 16-bit games. Some developers have made Pier Solar for SEGA Mega Drive and SEGA Genesis, a long time after these consoles became obsolete. Some of the fans of those consoles and games are still around, and they are now making the things that they want to play. It’s not your average RPG and you will definitely either like or hate it.

The biggest problem with this kind of games is that we remember them fondly for a reason. This was the level of the games back then, and we didn’t have anything better. Games that have been remade today to looks like the games of tomorrow don’t have the same kind of appeal. Unless you’re a fan, Pier Solar, and the Great Architects won’t feel like a great game, although you might want to give it a second chance.

Pier Solar and the Great Architects is a slow evolving game, and that’s obvious from the demo as well. It takes a long time to do anything, mostly because you don’t really know where to go, even if you have indications about the goal. With that in mind, some players will probably find the pace of the game just right, but it’s likely that you won’t enjoy the long treks.

Fortunately, Pier Solar and the Great Architects has some great ambiance music which carries a lot of the weight. It’s extremely comforting, and it would be nice to hear it in the background even if outside the game.

The biggest problem seems to be the battle system, which is not intuitive and takes a little bit to get used to it. Users will likely make the wrong choices, and that will have repercussion later in the game.

The demo version for Pier Solar and the Great Architects is long enough to convince anyone if they want to invest more time into such a complex title, of if they prefer something more modern.
