    This game has gorgeous art and an awesome soundtrack. I love the whole setting and theme, too. I’m sorry to say that those are the only nice things I have to say about Orangeblood. The story is barely there and not all that interesting when it decides to pop up. The dialogue is dreadful. In terms of mechanics, the game is all over the place. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a gun early on that will carry you through the whole game. If you’re unlucky, you’ll be spending a lot of time banging your head against the wall. The game can be cleared in under ten hours, but I’d be surprised if many people feel like it’s worth giving it even that much time. Nice to look at and listen to, but a game needs a lot more than that to get by.

    There are things to appreciate about Orangeblood, which tries to avoid many of the tropes of smaller-budget JRPGS with its hip-hop influence and cyberpunk setting - even if it's not quite as varied as Night City's fifteen districts. It's just such a shame that Orangeblood's creative world, great visuals, and catchy music are marred by mediocre gameplay and cringe-inducing dialogue.
