Our take on Slum Guide
Players may bounce at the highlighted-phrase dialogue system, where recruitment attempts depend on choosing among gathered information and procured tools. Those seeking immediate combat may also hit a wall during the conversation and information-gathering sections.
What is Slum Guide?
Slum Guide is a narrative-driven RPG set in a secretive slum town.
Aid gathers information from residents and obtains tools from places including the local shops, inn, church, and tool shop. During conversations, highlighted phrases reveal vulnerabilities and desires. Dialogue options let Aid use gathered information and procured tools when attempting recruitment. Recruited women can fight enemies and arena opponents, work at the local inn, or contribute to community activities. Battles use recruits’ skills and abilities, while weapons can be upgraded at the weapons shop. The game also includes individual character scenes and a recollection mode for viewing unlocked scenes.
