The WhatsNext verdict
If you enjoy short, whimsical bullet-hells with funny writing and abundant charm, this delivers a distinctive healing-themed spin on the formula. Play it when you want a compact burst rather than a substantial RPG adventure.
What it does best
A charming RPG-shmup hybrid that should not work
Absurd healing comedy with a genuinely warm heart
Healing becomes surprisingly lively bullet-hell combat
A vivid retro look impossible to confuse with anything else
What might put you off
The adventure is over almost immediately
The harsh retro visuals are an acquired taste
The setup
What you are walking into
Remedy, a recent graduate from the Saturnian healing school, must descend to Hurtland and use her powers to heal everyone from stray ducks to dark lords, and finally cure the ailing Prince Hingst. It's a short, whimsical adventure with plenty of heart(s). This game was one of Ludosity's entries in the Games Against Ebola charity game jam in 2014. This version was made after the jam to include options, multiple savefiles, more difficulty levels, and gamepad support.
