About DearMyFriend
DearMyFriend is an indie RPG from Paras Games that drops you into the fractured world of Stargather Land. You play as a girl from another realm tasked with slaying chaos through elemental combat. Released on PC in late 2026, it blends open-world exploration with turn-based battles where fire, water, and lightning shape tactics. The story leans into classic fantasy tropes but adds a slow-burn emotional core about sacrifice and connection. Think of it as a cozy RPG with a dark edge, ideal for players who want a mix of strategy and narrative.
Gameplay
The game loops on elemental rock-paper-scissors combat. You’ll queue up attacks, dodge, and chain skills in real-time battles where each enemy has a weakness, freeze water creatures, shock armored foes. Between fights, you trek through procedurally generated forests and dungeons, gathering materials to craft gear. The UI clutters the screen, but controls are responsive. Sessions often feel like a rhythm: fight a boss, solve a minor puzzle, then explore for 30 minutes before hitting the next story beat. Character progression is linear but satisfying, with elemental affinities unlocking new moves.
What Players Think
Critics gave it an 82% average, praising the soundtrack and lore but calling combat “predictable after 15 hours.” Players rate it 4.3/5 on PlayPile, with 65% completing the main story in 22 hours on average. The community vibe is hopeful, 78% of reviews mention “compelling dialogue,” while 32% gripe about repetitive side quests. There are 50 achievements, including “Defeat 100 enemies with fire” and “Talk to every NPC,” which boosts replayability. Completionists spend 40+ hours; most admit the final act’s pacing slows.
PlayPile's Take
DearMyFriend works best as a 20-hour story with strong visuals and strategic combat. At $39.99, it’s a mid-tier RPG with solid value for fans of slower-paced adventures. Skip if you want fast action or open-world freedom, this is a linear tale with occasional detours. The achievements add 10 extra hours for collectors, but don’t expect fresh mechanics. It’s a solid, if unspectacular, entry in the genre.
