Nobeta is a shockingly well-designed game for appearing so simple and low budget. Despite that, developer PupuyaGames pulled out all the stops and managed to make a nicely crafted souls-like experience. Nobeta primarily attacks through ranged magic which have different properties depending on the element; it's almost like a third person shooter in that sense. Not only that, but they incorproated a skill-based mechanic of not relying on magic too much by being able to recover MP faster by doing dangerous close-range physical attacks with Nobeta's staff and perfectly timed dodges. You can run out of MP very quickly, so you need to not mindlessly spam attacks and put yourself in danger to recover more. The level design is simple but works very well as Nobeta goes through trecherous areas full of pitalls and enemies.

As an added bonus, most of the bosses in the game are voiced by Hololive Vtubers such as Shirakami Fubuki and Shirogane Noel.

Nobeta really surprised me with how mechanically solid it was. It's pretty short, but you'll be getting a great soulslike with some cute anime girl flair.
