Indie RPG Off has been making waves among gamers with its unique blend of exploration, combat, and narrative-driven gameplay. Originally released in 2008, the game was initially circulated on internet forums and later made available through fan-translated versions before finally being re-released on Steam.
Players take on the role of The Batter, a young protagonist tasked by a talking cat called The Judge to purify a world corrupted by ghostly enemies. With its real-time combat system and cooldown timers, Off presents a challenging experience where The Batter is often outnumbered against groups of foes.
Despite its minimalist visuals, Off tells a dark and unsettling story with multiple endings, each zone presenting different challenges in an eerie atmosphere. A new Steam version features improved combat mechanics, including a critical hit system, as well as a help feature to aid confused players. Additional areas to explore and bonus bosses designed by the lead developer, Mortis Ghost, round out the re-release.
With a 15% discount, Off is now available on Steam for $12.74 / £10.87, alongside its release on Nintendo Switch. For fans of narrative-driven RPGs with retro flair, Off offers an unforgettable experience.
