My man RongRong, I was already a fan of your animations since the Payday 2 one, long ago.
When I heard you made a game, let alone a 2D horror, holy crap I came running.
I loved what you did here. Even if i didn’t know you beforehand, i’d have appreciated the effort you put on everything. The animated cutscenes, the art, everything.
The undertale-like music at the end too haha.
The only things I didn’t exactly like was, first, the escape moments. I think they were too harsh at some point, took me two days to finish the game because i was tired after so many constant restarts.

I see, where the inspiration comes from, and this game is a good attempt towards that direction.
So, this is a horror RPG on paper, but it’s very light for that. (Also a short one, compared to others.) It has some chase scenes and a few jumpscares, but it doesn’t have the (dark) atmosphere to call it horror. (The music is sometimes interesting for a horror game.)
It’s an escape story, so don’t expect a deep story or lore now! But it’s probably an early attempt, so it’s okay. That is also the reason, why the goal of the story doesn’t feel strong or deep.

ANOTHER EDEN
This is actually the 2nd time I’ve started this game. I first played this game on mobile when it first launched on mobile. This was during the launch period when Mariel was considered the best 5star and Toova and Mighty were strong offense. Things have changed a lot since then. I lost my mobile account because they did not have a google link at that time. So I’m literally starting from the beginning.
The only reason I’m willing to do this is because of this game’s permanent content system. All events are retained permanently. For every other gatcha game I’ve ever played, I never see myself as a returning player. So this is the best thing I want to praise about Another Eden. I really like the permanent content and in my opinion, this makes it far better than all the other gatcha games. Just this point alone.

Another Eden is a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross with some members of the original team (like Masato Kato and Yasunori Mitsuda) onboard, a love letter to jRPGs of the 90s with a modern feel.
The game itself is massive and is similar in scope to live-service MMOs, except Another Eden is a purely single-player 2.5D jRPG. New story content for it is still being released on a regular basis, expanding it even more with each new update.
=GAMEPLAY=
The gameplay here is of a classic turn-based jRPG with random encounters and limit breaks (called Another Force here). The biggest difference from the classics is that this game has gacha mechanics for acquiring additional characters, each of which has their own set of story quests. The amount of stones for pulls the game gives its players is pretty generous though, the pulls contain only characters and nothing else, additional styles or class upgrades for owned characters can be unlocked through farming certain in-game resources instead of pulling for them, and the characters that can be unlocked as rewards for story progression can be quite powerful as well, especially the ones from ‘Tales of’ and ‘Persona 5’ collaborations. Unlike character banners, all the story and crossover events don’t expire (except for the most recent Chrono Cross collaboration, which has a 5-year license, but hopefully they’ll be able to extend it).

Savior of Light
I definitely am hooked! The Story is beautiful. I love turn-based RPG games, so it fits quite the criteria. Savior of Light reminds me much of the old Final Fantasy and Legend of Zelda games. The music used for the game is also top tier!

It’s very reminiscent of the first Final Fantasy game to me, which is pretty nostalgic.
Considering this is a free demo experience serving as a prologue to the entire story there is quite a bit of content to enjoy.
Savior of Light has that classic FF style of gameplay and combat mechanics.
Balanced throughout the story line to pose a challenge without requiring too much grinding.
Story, characters and the world are fun to explore. And the music might be actually my favourite part. I can’t wait for this to continue. ^^

Epic Battle Fantasy 3
Let’s get straight to the point.
Pros:
-Incredible soundtrack on par with AAA games and even superior
-Game aesthetics is consistent and the transition between various levels feels natural while very clichè
-Lots and lots of references to classic RPGs and games like Pokémon and Metal Slug but also anime like Gurren Lagann
-Gameplay is fun and intuitive for both new players and experienced ones, no huge walls of text to describe every single thing that most RPGs do, rather you can test in-game what is better and learn from it

The resolution, style and UI navigation give away that this was originally a flash game from 2010. If this bothers you or you don’t like cute things, this game might not be for you, but to everyone else I can strongly recommend this game.
Don’t let the aforementioned aspects fool you - the gameplay in Epic Battle Fantasy 3 is extremely solid and despite the simple, easy to pick up turn-based battle system, there’s a surprising amount of depth to it. There are no boring throwaway battles like in many RPGs, where you just have to spam normal attacks to win. Every fight requires thought and strategy - especially the boss fights (these can get pretty long, by the way). In general, the difficulty is well-balanced, always giving you a reasonable challenge without overdoing it. I played on Normal, but there are 4 levels of difficulty in total (Easy, Normal, Hard, Epic), which should cover just about every kind of challenge people could want from it.

VALKYRIE CONNECT
An autogame with “meh” history, characters based in gods and deities an all this
Positive: good graphics
Negative:
-Farming “mana” (the currency), can take 3 to 1 month get for the necesary for leveling or buy the “trash” in the shop
-Is practically a “pay to win”, not pay, not win nothing
-Arena system is very wrong and impossible fight with the same level for the highest damage, impossible for advance
-Events are “pay or not win”
-Farming the 2nd money “diamonds” are the worst, 30 per day and with lucky 100 more, need 2500 to 3000 for a pull in the gacha system
– Real player with 2266.9 hrs in game
The game has a harsh disparity between the amount of In-Game Currency, Diamonds compare to the banners that requires these diamonds to summon. There is no reasonable pity system. Coins is the closest thing to pity and they will always expire if you do not have enough to trade for a feature hero or a RNG box that includes a random featured hero. Yes. These pity coins EXPIRES. The minimum requirement to gaurantee enough coins to trade for one of these feature heroes or boxes is 120k-180k diamonds. As a FREE TO PLAY player, one can take 2 years of saving and barely have enough. 2 years, for possibly one Pity hero. Some content of the game can only be cleared by having the correct heroes. Each of these heroes are gauranteed at 60k-85k diamonds. Their coins also expires. I whale. From free diamonds I can get maybe 30k from pvp and events within a month. I can choose to drop 250+ dollars to get 45k more for that month. It lets me have 75k per a month and within 2 months i can gauranteed a current meta hero. and thats after 500+ dollars. I don’t do that recently, but that would be the gist of how i used to approach banners. Just save for 2 months if i can even last that long with all the event exclusive units coming out being all tantalizing. I would recommend to play it if you literally have nothing else to play. Try some flash games. Try some oregon trail. Beginner’s luck is real but 4 months in you’ll be hating the game just like most people who can’t whale their way through or have consistent luck or patience to save for months on end. It’s gotten slightly better, but the gap between f2p and p2w is getting wider and more shameless each month. You can find exceptions but that’s like finding King Arthur in a crowd of mediocre knights who was lucky enough to pull that sword.

Florensia
I have been playing this game on an off for about 8 years, before the new server even came out and have probably wasted more than 3000 hours of my life across several accounts and multiple different characters. I find the game itself quite fun although it can be repetitive at times with its mundane combat system and buggy naval combat, however, what plagues this game the most is the absence of options for free to play players to get gear or equipment that could be considered at least mediocre: before the elite dungeons update, free to play players could make a decent amount of money by grinding sea levels and gathering magic crystals (a valuable in game resource). However, after the update even that option got removed as magic crystals became way more common and the only viable way to get better gear became spending real money in the game.Overall the game is pretty good and can be fun if played with friends for the first time, but is an absolute pay to win nightmare.

First of all, sorry for my poor english, its not my first language.
I’ve played this game for a long time before it came to steam, im very happy it still alive! This simple MMORPG taught me how to play with a keyboard, since it was the one of the firsts game i’ve ever played on a PC. This game have amazing songs, and the graphics are cute (at least before you leave the first island), but they work very well with the atmosphere. As you progress, you have to sail to another islands, and you can control you battleship on the ocean, listening to the greatests songs in the game.

Beyond DAWN
Crashed once and lost the saves but all in all one of the best classic rpg games I’ve found in awhile. Waiting for the full game.

The game is good and I definitely recommend it, but one problem I encountered with the game, is that when you are in that pod thing with Dez and she asks you if you would like to watch the tutorial, say no. Saying yes will freeze the game in the sense of no buttons on the controller nor any keys on the keyboard, will make the game work anymore.

Ragnarok Online 2
The good things:
-actually ingame looks pretty nice, the game is well done in maps, the landscape has no compare
-has a decent plot, actually enjoyable at the beggining
-really good game if you come here with your gf or a close friend, there is a lot things to do for 2 or more people outside ingame comunity
-nice looking costumes, characters, bosses
And the rest of the game
-has bugs, a lot. Since day 1 and still some remain
-admins, gm doesn’t give a single f**k about the game, they are just interested in 2 things; 1 money 2 keep the game running with low cost and more income

EDIT: my point still stands below but if youre going to hop in this game, know that development is dead, its never updating, they dont have a team for it anymore, dont give money to it because you aint gonna get any new content.
This game has it’s pros and cons, but all around, it’s not an absolute shit game and it’s good enough to get people willing to try MMOs, into that kinda scene, it’s a pretty good starter game instead of committing to something hardcore or that needs money to play.
I see SO many people shitting on this game becaue it’s not as good as the original ragnarok game, which honestly, you should never expect a ‘sequel’ to an MMO to be just like the original

東方翠神廻廊 〜 Faith in the Goddess of Suwa.
This game is pretty good and funny. It’s true the game aren’t totaly translate in english so far. In fact only the start of the game, some menu’s interfact and attack are translate now. But, the battle’s system is good, the “best” form are sometimes so absurd that becames hilarious. At this moment the game is pretty long so in can be a good hobby. The story mode is diversified and there are many path we can chose. But the game are sometimes to easy when we know how win much exp and some game’s mechanic aren’t explain well.

Played 10 hours and had a lot of fun with this game.
Combat system was fun (atleast for me) and really reminded me of Touhou Labyrinth.
Music is great too.
Charakter sprites are ok.
Dungeons could be a bit bigger and harder, because the only times i got beaten was during boss battles. (Change enemy appearance rate/difficulty or the movement speed of the player)
Hope for a quick english tranlation and continuation of the story.
All in all from a long running Touhou-Fan
8/10
