    You gotta meet the challenge guy at the grassy area in the morning around 7am ish. It's funny how it clicked in my head straight away that I had to meet him in the morning before school because when I was a teenager that's how the gentlemen fighters in my town met up, me included. The scene brought back memories and I thank Yeo for that.

    The best review of this game I've seen, excellent job man! The game really clicked with me, really love this delinquent school setting. I remember playing kenka banchou on psp few years back, I was really sad that only one entry of the series was translated into English, now I found something that falls into the same category and looks even more dope, so stocked it's coming to the switch next week!

    • @StunClubSoda

    Just finished this game. The ending really feels bittersweet and definitely makes you think. While I wish there was more I could have done like deeper character interactions, I don't think I'd change it - the developer really told his story.
    I enjoyed watching this video after finishing it. Luckily Tim Rogers gave this project a boost (that's how I found it)
    BTW I also couldn't find the purple leader behind the bar for a challenge

  • @metalgear0945
    @metalgear0945 3 года назад +1

    great review! i've finished the game at the start of this year, right when i was feeling lost and without purpose (i still am but whatever), and it clicked on me. definitely one of my favorite. i am a fan of the yanki/delinquent genre. i see this game as kind of a play on the yanki/delinquent genre. i guess you could call it post-delinquenitsm or pos-yankiism. while titles like crows and kyou kara ore wa explore the idea of the ideal yanki, i see this as what it means to be a yanki. this game sees the archetypal yanki in a different light, and i love this. an absolute hidden gem.

    Loved this game, as I grew up reading this type of "Nekketsu Shonen manga" back in the 90's, like reading Hareluya Boy or Rokkudanshi Blues, actually most 90's boy manga are mostly about delinquent protagonist, even in sport manga have delinquent protagonist.

    the Delinquent genre wasn’t something that I thought was focused enough to even have a genre but I’ve seen it here and there and always enjoy it..
    can’t wait to finish this game.. think I’ve been trying to control things too much. I would love any manga/anime delinquent genre suggestions

Had today off work so played a bit of Switch this morning/bout 9.30am, floating round the eShop saw this was released today and it immediately caught my attention and for £11 I though what the hell, 10.49pm and Im still hooked! Your line "Of corse would this be an indie game without some bugs? I mean name a more iconic duo than indie games and bugs n'Ill wait..." is just a fantastic quote. Like the game - needs much much more recognition for its wonder, your channel deserves far more subs! Ive subbed if your future videos match the brilliance of this one I can't wait! M

Everything is either an FPS, roguelite/metroidvania, or cliched action/JRPG. There's some good ones out there if we wait long enough.
