Affogato is a game where you have to make coffee by day and exorcise demons by night, with an anime-style art direction, so if this mix sounds interesting, it's a game worth trying out.

From a gameplay point of view, the game is a reverse tower defence where you have to move around the level destroying towers and accomplishing different objectives depending on the level. The levels are very varied, and the different characters are interesting to use, although they sometimes lack synergy and diversity. The gameplay phases fit in well with the story part of the game, which is not a bad thing.

From a graphical point of view, the artistic direction is clearly in the manga style, which may put some people off. But whether it's the story or the gameplay, the game is visually good.

Finally, the story is really cool, tackling difficult themes such as bullying and self-acceptance, and the two main characters are quite interesting and occasionally funny. The secondary stories are also interesting for the most part, even if they do get a bit snowy at times. The game's music fits in well with the story and gameplay.

In conclusion, Affogato is a very good game that I'd recommend. The story and gameplay are well executed and create a coherent and enjoyable whole.
