The Scorchfarer
Welcome to the scarred kingdom.
The story of The Scorchfarer is set on a post-apocalyptic high fantasy world. A cosmic event known as the ‘fire rain’ destroyed most life on the surface of the planet. It was soon discovered that the flames were so magically dense that it would take a millenia for them to die on their own. Both of the continents, Uzu and Zuhaar, joined forces to bring back balance to their world. A new breed of magi was born, the Terramagus, tasked with healing the world and to give every living creature hope for the future.
Mikaela and Yukiharu, two novice Terramagus are about to set off into the heart of the continent after finishing their training. Their journey is about to become much more complicated than they could ever imagine as the secrets of their world slowly unravel.

Big Dipper
Big Dipper is a short, romantic kinetic visual novel full of fairy-tale ambiance. It’s a sweet story about two people drawn together by fate, by quite magical circumstances. I must admit sometimes, especially at first, I thought that the plot was a tad unrealistic and unbelievable, but you know what, you should just let yourself relax and dive into that fantastic atmosphere. I even recollected those childish years when dad used to read me fairy-tales before I fell asleep. And sometimes I wondered how those things could even happen and the answer was always–‘It’s a fairy-tale. Everything is possible there’. Thank you so much for making me remember that wonderful feeling!

Big Dipper is a short romantic visual novel, the artwork is pretty and the characters look nice. It has a little bit of mystery and it’s a cute fantasy fairytale story. It could have been a great story if the developers would have taken their time to write more about it and give the story the room to breath that it deserves.

FINAL FANTASY® XIII
From what I have gathered, this game is somewhat controversial. I have 3 playthroughs now, looking forward to a 4th, and I would like to bring up a few points and offer my opinions, that potential players might have a better perspective on the game beforehand. This review will be quite lengthy, for there is a lot to cover, even scratching the surface as I am. I assure you there are no story spoilers.
Journey - The game is very linear. The first 80% of the story takes you on a singular path from one locale to the next, with little deviation, before it opens up into the main side-questing hub. (Firsttime players: at this point, I strongly advise following the map and pressing on with the main story for the best experience; there will be plenty of time later to complete this content, and you will be much better prepared.) Those of you looking for a cohesive, story-driven rpg that will keep you glued to your controller for 40 hours before you even get to the endgame, look no further.

God have mercy on my soul
This is without a doubt the most difficult review I’ve ever written, but this game is so fascinating from multiple perspectives; I’ve challenged myself to throw my hat into the ring and explain why I resonate with it despite the overt shortcomings.
It’s my Focus, really.
FFXIII is a game that was fraught with a lot opposing views amongst Square Enix’s devs on how to create a “perfect hybrid” between inputting command-based strategies for party members whilst being simultaneously cinematic akin to the battles found in FFVII: Advent Children, an animated film adaption of the highly adulated FFVII.

Twilight Memoria
I’ve always been a diehard fan of the RPG that carries the ATB system. Just mention it like Final Fantasy V, VI, VII, VIII, IX they are all my favorites! So when I saw a new RPG maker game that carried this system, I was very enthusiastic.
This might be my serious review considering that I really support the indie game climate of the JRPG genre.
1. Opening
The first time I played, I felt a stutter in the map scrolling section in the village; it made my head quite dizzy I don’t know why; is this my VGA error? I don’t understand, but I tried to hold it and play again.

JUST COMPLETED.
TL;DR 9/10 GAME.
This game is good but needs some fixing. Let me describe my playing experience below:
Twilight Memoria is an RPG game where you play as two children: Rucifar and Luna, in a fantasy world full of monsters. They play around their village and help other villagers with their monster-hunting and alchemy skills. They either hunt monsters, or craft items to use in battle or to aid them in their quests. It’s a heartwarming, everyday life type story where you are not in some big adventure or saving the world, but the game is still very challenging in the battle system and how you survive your quests. UPDATE: THE ENDING WILL STRIKE YOU IN UNEXPECTED WAYS. THIS IS GOOD.

Love of Dragons
Cute visual novel. Though some of the back story is not… Anyway, decent read. There are choices, but they don’t seem to matter much. Might suggest getting on discount.

Rebels - Under the Spell of Magic (Chapter 1)
I found Rebels very entertaining! The character and story is very detailed and I was able to immerse myself in the rough world (slaves) which is full of wonders (magic and fantasy creatures). A personal gimmick I found was the options for the main character’s activities or the paths he should take. I was so interested in the story that I temporarily saved each of them in order to be able to read the various options.
I liked the main character’s facial expressions best ;D I love Folken’s facial expressions and have had to laugh a lot, there seems to be a lot of work in character creation and portrayal here.

YESSSSS! This is a fine specimen of a story. It reminds me of anime/manga, particularly “HXH” (“Hunter X Hunter”). No, I am not saying that’s what it is… But the fact that it reminds me of it… Means it’s interesting and worth looking into! Oh the story comes with achievements! So hurray for that too!
Okay well… It kept my attention and was really unpredictable, but at one point or another I wanted to know more about the world, characters, races, monsters and so on. I liked the CGs and the funniest to me was when the main character did his brilliant smile. If I have to pick a character which one looks the best - it would be… “Number 1”. He is probably highly evil, but yeah… (I am not good with names, but he has such fuzzy ears!)

Wizard’s Quest was formerly a class group project that started in April 5th, 2015. We all pinched in the effort to pull together and practiced standard procedure in game development and marketing for a class grade. Some worked hard in certain departments more than others. Although it was not often we get together for the team meetings before and after classes, everyone have put in the effort with the exception with one of the class students dropping out around mid-term.
