“This is my review of this lovely little game put into points. Great voice acting The story is generic The gameplay is fun Get to pick main character as female or male. (A plus in my book) The intro is nice The only…”
“Exactly what it says on the tin. 20 minutes of JRPG from start to end credits. Some setup, some voiced dialogue (Charming amateur work.), some nice art, and one boss fight. It's all quite easy. Just turn off active time…”
“A great game, considering what it is advertising. The voice acting is great, and it gives personality to each character. The story is simple and clear, nothing much to it. The endings are as good. The fight is not that…”

“I really like the idea of 150+ hours of gameplay being compressed down to a single boss fight. But you're at a significant disadvantage from the start by not knowing the characters and skills. After a few tries though…”

“Lamia Must Die was a fun game and had very nice artwork. It even had a voiced dialogue. The only thing i would reccomend is definitely choose for turn based battle sequence. Also hey it's free!”

“considering this was made for a competition, Its not too bad (due to the fact it probably had a very small time frame). I cant exactly call this a complete game, but more like a very good concept, that could lead to a…”
“Quite the interesting game, multiple endings depending on which party members die or live throgh the fight, but the Blitz system was HORRIBLE, first of all, there should be a practise option in the menu for such things,…”

“It's a short game that contains no grinding BS and let's you just get straight to the boss and attempt to fight it.”

Lamia Must Die is a game of adventure wherein you are not just one person but rather four people. You can change two of your party members and their styles are definitely unique. You adventure into a dungeon and…”

Due to its offensive nature, it has been removed long ago. About a year later, I've gotten up the nerve to replay it with a calmer mind and see it in a new light)…”
