Knowing that this could never be archived as a woman, she disguised herself a boy, renamed herself Tomaso and proceeded to seek experience in the city. THIS GAME WAS PURCHASED ON STEAM AND WAS NOT SUPPLIED FOR REVIEW PURPOSES.Lisa came to Florence to pursue her dream of becoming an artist. An overlooked diamond in the rough, LISA is well worth the cost of admission. As a bonus, the game’s eclectic soundtrack is interesting and quite the gem. However, the game isn’t a feel good experience at all and by the end, you’ll likely be pretty disgusted with the story itself, in a good way. If you are a fan of games with decent stories and innovates mechanics, LISA will definitely sate that itch. In fact, Brad is a walking disaster that initially seems deserving of the player’s pity, but as time progresses, it’s notable that he’s done a lot to end up where he is now. As a matter of fact, near the tail end of the game, I truly felt like I had ruined the lives of almost every recruit-able characters, with a few not having lives at all. Often times, making the right decision when prompted to do so will end up drastically impacting the characters you meet along the way.

LISA’s biggest draw is that the story is INCREDIBLY dark.

There are a ton of pro-wrestling nods as well, from combat moves to characters in the game, enough that will elicit a chuckle for those in the know. LISA seems to have a lot of different characters to recruit, but the decisions you make along the way may make it difficult to get them all. If you are more of a purist, you can also select attacks off a traditional special move list as well.

While there are comparisons that can be drawn at almost the get-go, the childlike innocence of Earthbound is nowhere to be found. LISA is a side-scrolling RPG that has quite a bit of Earthbound flavor thrown in. Well, a Steam sale later, I would say it is officially time to talk about LISA. While the initial teaser trailer for LISA was intriguing, once I heard the game was build off of RPG Maker, that hesitation returned, as there is only so much that you really can get out of that engine. Unfortunately the general quality of these types of games are a bit… lacking. Indie RPG’s are something that I am always wary of.
