What players say
This is one of my favorite hidden gems on Steam, with fun combat that focuses on collecting items that can be used for combo attacks. You're constantly obtaining more items as you progress, which opens up more ways to experiment with combos. The writing is funny too.

This is a wonderfully bonkers adventure/rpg game. It's difficult to describe but it has wonderful characters and a great sense of humor. There are so many combinations of weapons and allies that it's worth playing multiple times too. I just read Psydra Games' announcement that they are closing down, so if you think you might like this game, be sure to buy it before it's gone forever.
This is a very unique game that combines RPG, interactive fiction, and adventure game elements. It feels like a digital version of one of those gamebooks (i.e. Fighting Fantasy, Lone Wolf, etc.) The setting is cynical and violent, but more campy than dark. There are a lot of cool touches, including hundreds of weapons, items, and allies to collect, each with their own effects and descriptions.
