Good Quality and Content for a RPGMaker game.

Very responsive developer always around to answer queries.

Oriental story, audio and settings.

Character building, satisfiers system similar to a survival game.

System unlike those others that have Hitpoints of several thousands, or deals thousands of damages per hit, characters and damage dealings stay at minimal hitpoint and deals reasonable low damages.

Plot, drama and gameplay is fine, alittle dull once the first capital is taken.

But,

Unable to customize much of the controls bind key with F1 console, unlike most other rpgmaker game.

This game is worth your time and hard-earned cash. Essentially, the game is a jrpg about Japan in the late sengoku jidai. You get to pick your starting class and skills and sex which can really make the game interesting.

The best part about this game, is that it really does all it can to make you feel like you are taking on the role of someone’s life. A lot of role-playing games these days sort of play like a power fantasy as the player does his or her best to reach a point of apotheosis, or Ultimate Warrior. However, this game’s goal isn’t to make a God out of the main player or the character, as the main character is more or less known as a great warrior for being one of the first in the region to rebell against the unjust nature of the current Empire. The biggest rewards come from taking part in the story and completing side quests, rather than grinding repetitively.

磨难之间 SUFFERING: Reincarnation of Sins

磨难之间 SUFFERING: Reincarnation of Sins

This is my first review ever so bare with me.

I have 20 something hours on this game , i have beaten 4 BOSSES and i own 2 suffering souls so far.

I love the hard orientation of the game and the way you learn to play it.Some of the BOSSES mechanics testing my patience but i love that part to.

The graphics , the atmosphere and the music are absolutely captivating.

Lastly from impressions i like the “find yourself” strategy for each BOSS and how you manage to “Find " suffering souls.

What i would like to see in game is:

This game is the beginning of a new epic, in the short 16 hours I have played it all I can think about is where this story could go, and where it will take me. Playing the base game was immersive and wholesome to say the least. From reuniting a family of strong warriors to fending off a tyrannical empire, it is a rollercoaster of emotions that leaves you wanting another ride time and time again. And thus, Plus Mode offers to suffice until the next leg of the journey is developed. With new loot, harder bosses, and a dense lore to dissect. I can not wait to begin another adventure with these lovable characters and delightful soundtracks.

Excellent RPG with heavy influences from old school JRPGs such as Breath of Fire, Final Fantasy, Suikoden and more. It pays homage to the games that inspired it but never gets too heavy handed with the tropes. Pixel art is excellent and the world is beautiful and alive. The combat system is standard RPG fare and is smooth and accessible to the player.

Only issues would be to make sure you have an SSD because I suffered major framerate drops because of my HDD loading speeds. However, this did not impact my review of the game. It was still playable.

Shenmue I & II

Shenmue I & II

[SHENMUE I]

Shenmue is a strange, gently plodding beast of a game that we’ll never see the likes of again. Even when Shenmue 3 comes out, it will likely focus on different things, different aspects of gameplay. Shenmue is currently gaming’s one and only kung-fu small town life simulator, and that’s commendable.

This makes the fourth time in my life I’ve finished Shenmue 1 and every time I’ve played it I’ve seen different scenes, talked to people and discovered what to do next in different ways. I’ve gotten different toys out of the capsule machines and won different prizes in the lucky-dip draws in the stores. The plot of Shenmue is the same every time, the way you work through that plot is different and organic.

Shenmue. It was a great game that preceded many other open-world titles. It is still the game with that much immersion from the open-world as you can get in 2021, if we’re not talking about visual details. Every person there, every single NPC has a unique appearance, behavior pattern, and biography defining his/her actions. Additionally, every person involved in fights has his own set of moves. How’s that for starters? For a game released in 2001? Even more, Shenmue is still the great tale of adventures and martial arts.

Shenmue III

Shenmue III

Ah, Shenmue 3, how I have longed for the light of your presence to shine upon thee…

Heads up to those who peruse this review: I’m a HUGE shenmue fan. I backed this game on kickstarter and have played the game twice on Sony PlayStation 4.

Let’s forget all of the nonsense associated with Deep Silver and the Epic Game Store exclusivity. How is THE GAME?

A mixed bag.

Let’s start with the graphical presentation. Shenmue 1&2 were AAA games back in the day; the most expensive games every produced up until that time. Shenmue 3 is a AA game; as such you cannot go into this expecting the latest cutting edge graphics.

Before starting my review, I’d like to point out that we really need a mixed review option on Steam. I hope Gaben will hear our prayers one day. Anyway, as most of you know, Shenmue III is the highest funded Kickstarter game and it is definitely one of the longest awaited one. How long was it… 20 years? I’m not a loyal Shenmue fan, I didn’t wait 20 years for it, in fact, first time I’ve played Shenmue was a few months ago but I was aware of its significance and contributions to the video game culture of course. I also didn’t contributed anything to its Kickstarter campaign but putting myself in one of the loyal fans' place, I’d be extremely disappointed by this game. Especially after waiting nearly 20 years for it. Although I have no doubt that Yu Suzuki and YS Net did their best to bring a solid title to the fans, they’ve made a grave mistake by striking a deal with Deep Silver. 1 year Epic Store exclusivity was straight up disrespectful towards the people who contributed to Kickstarter campaign. Hopefully, they will learn from their mistakes with Shenmue IV. Anyway, let’s take a look at the redeeming qualities first…

A quick, fun, and replayable experience.

I failed pretty quickly on my first playthrough, but on my second I made it all the way to the end and did fairly well with my food stores and my village survived the winter.

Thinking I had it all figured out, I played again a couple days later and was not able to achieve the same success again, failing a number of times, and making it to the end once but without enough food stored for my whole village.

There are a lot of little details to pick up on for strategy, and then of course there is some luck involved as well. I hope to eventually make it to the end with a village population that is actually happy but I have a feeling that will take some time.

I was looking forward to this based on cool art style and hoped for a chill game similar to “papers, please”

So far it’s delivering on my expectations. The gameloop is somewhat random, and there aren’t so many ‘stranger’ types I’ve encountered, so it seems fun to replay but not infinitely so (and FWIW the slow text scroll to end each night can’t be skipped).

Update: I’ve had no issues since the developer’s first update. It runs as expected and is a fun 20-40 minute challenge I still haven’t beat. Recommended.
