The Perfectionist Demo

The Perfectionist is a turned-based RPG that uses a style very similar to the one used by Japanese games. It looks and acts pretty much like a JRPG, with the quirks and strange discussions between characters.

The Perfectionist is using a turn-based fighting system, but the characters are moving in real time. It’s actually using a party mode, but you only see one of the characters and not all at once. It would be impossible since all of the levels are very small, and you only move from one tile to another.

It’s not the kind of game that you can love right from the start, but it’s interesting enough to get any RPG fan to play it. The demo is short, but it does a good job of introducing the core mechanics and to show what you can actually do in the game.

You take on the role of a subject in a strange experiment, and you know that they are eventually going to kill you, just like they did with all the others before you. The doctor in charge has some nefarious goal, very different from what he’s telling everyone, and he keeps all the scientists trapped underground, in the facility.

The main character breaks out, with the help on one of the scientists, and starts to head to the exit. You can either pick people to join your group, from the main storyline, or not. It’s up to the player, but finishing the game without a party is going to be really difficult.

When a fight starts, the characters are placed on a board, and they take turns hitting the others. They can either attack, use a special attack, or they can defend. The point is to win. Unlike other RPG games, you don’t move on the board; you just stay in one place.

The Perfectionist features an attractive look and design, but we have to admit that it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. On the other hand, fans of this genre will probably love it.
