I wish I had known about this game when they were still in their Kickstarter phase. As it is, I only heard about the game 2 days ago (the day before launch) and am loving every minute of it. Shadows of Adam is truly an homage to the JRPGs of old. If you are a fan of SNES era JRPGs, then I highly recommend Shadows of Adam to you.

Music - the music is amazing, hands down. Each track is unique in its own way, and enhances the mood of the area you are in.

Battle System - the AP system is a new and refreshing take as opposed to an MP based one. Each skill takes a certain percentage of your AP. You regain some each round or for defeating enemies, but it's up to you to ration how you spend it between fights and during bosses. This adds a nice level of strategic thinking to determine how best to approach each fight.

Graphics - the 16bit style that the devs went for harkens back to classic SNES JRPGs for a major nostalgic factor. The backgrounds are wonderfully done, as are character sprites.

Story - I'm just about to start the 3rd major dungeon, so I'm not sure exactly how far along I am. There have been some interesting plot reveals via flashbacks that have a nice pacing so as to not innundate the player with backstory before needed. From speaking with the Devs in Twitch chat the game casually should run between 14 and 16 hours. While there is no New Game + mode, there are bonus dungeons and side quests that add to the story as well that I'm looking forward to.

The Devs have been very active on Social Media and Twitch offering to answer any and all questions about the game, and sharing about their experiences making it - which has been a nice touch in my opinion. Overall I'm extremely pleased that I took a chance on Shadows of Adam - it has been my best and favorite purchase since Stardew Valley. Great job to the guys/gals at Something Classic - you've created an amazing game!
