Our take on Maliki : Poison Of The Past
The store copy gives equal weight to combat, exploration, puzzles, role-playing, crafting, and the Maliki setting, so the actual balance between these parts is not clear. It presents a broad mix of systems rather than indicating which activity forms most of the playtime.
What is Maliki : Poison Of The Past?
Play as Sand in a time-spanning adventure about repairing a damaged continuum and opposing Poison, a plant creature that has spread through space-time.
Exploration, temporal puzzles, role-playing elements, and turn-based combat form the main structure. A Chrono Pack lets Sand alter battle timelines, send enemies into the past, and connect attacks with allies. Between expeditions, the Domaine serves as a base for planting, harvesting, cooking, crafting, equipment improvements, and caring for the Thousand-Root Tree. The cast includes Maliki, Becky, Fang, and Fenimale, while the story follows survivors working to restore balance. The game draws on the Maliki graphic novel series and combines French visual influences with Japanese chibi styling.
