    Though there are a few rough edges, Cthulhu Saves Christmas is a delight from beginning to end for JRPG fans. It's hysterically funny, plays well, and best of all, genuinely works as a sort of Lovecraftian holiday special, like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or How the Grinch Stole Christmas. In fact, why not make this a holiday tradition? Cthulhu Saves Halloween, anyone?

    Cthulhu Saves Christmas brings a lot of fun to the Christmas table. Brilliantly written and artistically designed, Zeboyd Games has gifted their fans with a game reminiscent of previous titles, but with enough new tweaks and holiday-themed fun for anyone to jump into this winter. If any RPGamers need a break from the story-heavy, hundred-hour games that we often find ourselves enmeshed in, this hilarious little breath of fresh winter air might be just what the doctor ordered.

I couldn't change attacks, and one of my characters had an empty attack slot somehow... So I couldn't customize my party's attacks anymore, making it harder than normal. Otherwise the combat was interesting and fun. It felt like the best strategy was to get baba yaga to 200 chicken power, and get her to full hyper meter and poison high HP enemies and bosses. Other than that, tactics seemed to be a little more varied than in past. This time around it felt like the game characters were a little too brazen with 4th wall breaking. However it was witty as always, and cthulhu didn't learn a thing about the magic of christmas in the end. Overall it was fun. Expand
