Even though it doesn’t bring much to the table in terms of innovation or surprise, Anuchard remains a solid and exceedingly colorful adventure that offers a fun, if fleeting, experience. The chapter-based structure lends itself well to the light and optional farm-building elements and the main narrative of bringing life back to the world and its inhabitants. If you’re looking for a fairly charming action RPG that’s more familiar than fresh, Anuchard might be just what the doctor ordered.

Critic reviews
- One thing that did make me kind of chuckle (probably my dark sense of humour), is the fact that the aforementioned husband is part of the story to save. Their child on the other hand, is not a requirement. That said, as a whole this game was really easy to grasp and play. The puzzles are interesting and will get your mind working. They aren’t huge puzzles either; they’re typically quick yet rewarding. Anuchard is fast-paced and is pretty satisfying.
- Anuchard certainly stands out. Unfortunately, terrible writing prevents Anuchard from achieving true greatness. If you can get past a shallow story and poorly written dialogue, a fun little dungeon crawler awaits you, but if you care about the narrative, then the sloppy execution here might be enough to skip this one. Fortunately, the game doesn’t exactly break the bank either if you do decide to pick it up, and there is still plenty of fun to be had here. It might not be a perfect console debut for stellarNull, but it’s a solid foundation that makes us look forward to what the developer may cook up in the future.
- 7.7This is a shorter game that still manages to feel like a complete experience, and it ends up providing many activities for players to enjoy. Anuchard isn’t exactly breaking the mold as far as action RPGs go, but those looking for a solid gaming experience whose narrative leaves a little room for thought might want to give this bell a ring.
- As a whole, Anuchard is a fun game. It’s quirky, it’s perfectly pixely, and it combines city building and dungeon crawling surprisingly well. Unfortunately, the game gets bogged down by repetition, repetition, repetition.
- 6.5Anuchard presents some interesting concepts, but is executed sloppily. While combat is extremely simple, level design is lackluster, and most puzzles are too easy, the final hour or so holds a lot of promise.
