LCB CH01 [8]? Overal thoughts

I forgot to say my overall thoughts on Limbus Company so, here it is (I'm copying this from my twitter post). This doesn't spoil anything story specific btw

I would say that the biggest appeal has to be the story and characters. The main cast of sinners are so chaotic and have distinctive personalities (besides Mersault but that’s aggressively the point). It’s clear we’re supposed to love this dysfunctional group and unwrap the story around them. Dante (who we play as) was a pleasant surprise considering that I wasn’t sure he would have a personality. If you follow me you should know my fav is Gregor.

And add to that a strange and twisted world that I’ve heard is super expansive with lore and world building, yeah, I’m super stoked for what’s in the future.

For the gameplay, Im not super knowledgeable on how to analyze gameplay but I found it fun for the most part. It’s a bizarre mix of fast and easy gameplay that makes you feel like a monster, only to suddenly hit a difficulty wall and get the team obliterated.

There are also A LOT of mechanics that at first don’t seem to affect the gameplay until you hit those difficulty spikes.

It’s a very wordy game, not just in story but also those mechanics. From status effects, random coin tosses, and gathering material for your ultimate attack, the game felt a bit overwhelming, even the tutorial didn’t quite help me understand the hud. I had to actually look into guides on YouTube to help me out, especially in Chapter 3.

I don’t really mind cause following the game, at lot of people talked about how this was standard for project moon games.

But it might be a bit much for some players. It’s definitely not a casual game for quick fun. Battles may take awhile, especially against abnormalities (monsters). You’re going to have to grind once you get to chapter 3 (trust me). And certain fights will wipe the floor with you if you don’t take the time to read the mechanics and make a solid team.

Now as for fairness, i haven’t spent any money on the game. And so far I’ve been fairing well. The base characters are actually pretty useful and I’ve been using them more than the ones I got from the gatcha (except for g-corp Gregor, I love him)

So yeah, the game will take up a lot of time but I haven’t found it unfair or tedious so far. But I’ll have to see how that changes as the game goes forward.

To be honest, I kinda feel like I would have tolerated bad gameplay if it meant unlocking more story. Its that charming.

So, cause twitters character limit sucks, I’m very happy with the game so far. I’ve been following its development for a while, and it’s given me everything I wanted from it.

I wish I could add more detail but I think this is a good explanation for now.

It may be a bit intimidating for some, but it’s free so there’s no harm in trying it out.

You may need some outside help to grasp how the game works, but that means we can all suffer together /s.

So, if you wanna delve into a dark but charming game, give it a try.

Just heed the content warnings though, there’s some dark themes, imagery that may be disturbing, and body horror.

Hallo spoilers under cut

Welp, time to get back into it

Crap I hope I didn’t forget my team idea. Oh well, I’m gonna start with my b team: I think it’s Yi Sang, Ryoshu, Faust, Hong Lu, and Heathcliff.

Angst sensor going off...

Gregor was a manager??

Crap they know each other.

Ohhhh, Gregor desserted G corp.... (honestly good for him I think but that's gotta sting).

Okay, battle time

Still don't understand the mechanics but I'm sure it'll be fine

Gregor sold a medal for rent ;-(

“In the end we’re nothing but disgusting pests���

Ah here comes the self loathing.

Wow, Ryoshu gave up a dog for Gregor, nice

It looks like I’m near a checkpoint so I’ll use my A team: I think it was Gregor, Ishmael, Outis, Sinclair, and Don.

Hmm, this room seems weird. Also, why is Hopkins wearing a mask all of the sudden?

Oh boy…

Dons dying too

Heathcliffs down

Yup, have a feeling Hopkins is gonna betray us

You…don’t you dare insult Yuri

Can’t wait to beat Hopkins to a pulp when I see him again

Everyone’s going down.

Wait what do you mean Gregor?

!?!?

He got a mask from that other girl!!!

MVP!!! IS HE GONNA HELP YURI!?

Aww Yuri is getting flashbacks from L corp…😢

A sin to save yourself…

Awww, I wonder if Yuri reminds Gregor of someone..

This is so nice

“Laying guilt on yourself over spilt milk…will wear your heart out…”

Time for an abno fight…

No spoilers here, don't worry!

Welp, that's the end of chapter 1! I'm actually going to be playing the rest of the game on my own. It's a ton of fun and I want to enjoy it casually.

Still, this was certainly an experience. I've been waiting for this game for a while now and I am not disappointed with what I see.

Not to mention that this is the first game that I did a proper stream for and could archive on my YouTube channel. And now I get to finish my thoughts with this liveblog. I would've like to make this a full series, but I don't currently have the ability to do so.

But I have no regrets so far. So thank you for reading and/or watching, and have a great day.

I may make an overall post describing my full thoughts on the game. I may also post more of my experience of the game on here, but don't worry, I'll be sure to tag spoilers.

Good luck fellow managers! Good luck with your own journeys
