Our take on 七月-July
The focus on demanding combat, distinct bosses, and repeated attempts gives the journey a concentrated action structure, but leaves less room for a broad or leisurely RPG experience. Its roughly 20-hour length also limits the scope compared with much longer role-playing games.
What is 七月-July?
Play as July in a side-scrolling action RPG similar to Metroidvania games.
Travel through many levels, each with its own location, while facing monsters and increasingly difficult challenges. Skill badges earned during the journey increase July’s strength. Major stages differ from one another and feature different bosses. Combat includes elemental interactions: the fire blade can use poisonous smoke to extend air-control time, explosions can deal additional damage to enemies, and electricity can ignite flames. The game presents a lonely journey involving repeated attempts to restart the world, memories of important people, remaining thoughts, and highly efficient human war machines. The vendor describes the game as lasting about 20 hours and emphasizes demanding operation and difficulty.
