Affogato combines RPG and 'reversed tower defense' elements. You'll play as the titular Affogato, a sorceress managing a cafe in a new town. Meet all kinds of customers, hear their stories—and travel into their minds to defeat their inner demons. Experience a city life both everyday, and magical.
An intriguing blend of Persona, coffee brewing and reverse tower defence dungeons that doesn't quite cohere into a tasty whole.
In summary, Affogato manages to offer an experience that does not overstay its welcome, clocking in around 14 or so hours including many battle restarts.
For the most part, Affogato melds the multiple genres it includes well, delivering an enjoyable and unique experience. Unique does come at a cost for appealing to a mass market, however, with some potentially struggling with its concepts and aims. Much like coffee itself, it's not for everyone, but those who do try it will rave about what the rest are...
Like a fresh sip of caffe latte on a cool morning, it’s been a good pick-me-up for the rest of the season.
Affogato has a lot of great mechanics for exploration tied into its own coffee brew. There may be some difficulty spikes and a game that ties itself down after opening up, but overall it's a great time.
