Netto’s Game RoomBenjamin BellAug 20255/5 starsI didn’t know I needed Artis Impact in my life. I’ve spent countless hours playing RPGs so similar to each other that I often forget what it's like to experience something new and unexpected. Artis Impact is both of these things, while also being familiar in a comforting way. It is a charming world with a main character I quickly grew attached to and an impressive amount of ways to interact with the environment. The social aspects helped keep me invested in this girl's life, and the ever-changing art style was visually pleasing from start to finish. The standard RPG elements were a bit light, as Akane became overpowered pretty easily, but role-playing her life more than made up for it. In the end, Artis Impact was a game I never wanted to end, and it had me jumping back in for a second playthrough once the credits rolled—something very few games have made me want to do.

TechRaptorAshleigh KleinAug 20258/10Artis Impact will certainly attract fans of Octopath Traveler, Bravely Default, Dragon Quest, and Sea of Stars with their unique take on this turn-based RPG that will have players going from battling ferocious enemies and bosses, trying to earn an income, to enjoying a warming bowl of ramen in a single turn.

Game8Uriel RodriguezAug 202586/100Artis Impact is a masterfully crafted, imaginative odyssey that paints its post-apocalyptic world with heart and pixel-perfect precision. Though its narrative occasionally wavers, the game’s seamless blend of cozy mechanics, nostalgic JRPG flair, and a sharp-tongued yet endearing protagonist delivers an experience as memorable as it is meaningful. Impactful Indeed.

Checkpoint GamingDavid McNamaraAug 20256.5/10Touting a unique brand of offbeat humour and some absolutely beautiful pixel art, Artis Impact is a labour of love that mostly hits the mark. While its combat system lacks depth and it could use a stronger core narrative, it presents a gorgeous world filled with charming character moments that surprise and delight. Despite a few rough edges, this is a bite-sized RPG full of heart.
