Night Rogue

Night Rogue

This was a pretty unique and interesting short game. I have to say that I don’t really like stealth games, but there is something about this game… I liked it so very much. So you sneak around as a Thief/Rogue and break into places and steal loot. You gotta think as a thief too, as at times the front door is locked. The music is perfect for night stealth activities!

So the game isn’t overly challenging (phew!), but it is satisfying. You also don’t have to kill anyone too. I like the idea of a peaceful thief. There is also an older man, a Fence and their relationship works out, showing the truth of how it actually is supposed to be. Oh and Thomas looks pretty good too, so kudos. I like the sprite design. :D

Chronicle of Daneya

Chronicle of Daneya

This is a fun old-school RPG. The battles use a turn-based system and is pretty basic. The story is excellent. What makes this game so enjoyable and more challenging is there are so many achievements, and in order to get them all you have to make certain decisions of which paths you’ll go. There are three different endings, but there are also different paths for you to take to get to those endings. I appreciate that the developer answered my questions and fixed a couple minor bugs so quickly. If you enjoy exploration over fighting and/or are a completionist, this is definitely worth your time.

Artifact Adventure

Artifact Adventure

In a sentence this game is about old-school RPG gameplay. There’s power gaming, story, and lots of replayability. You control 4 schmucks

! or just 1 and a wad of dirty slaver cashon a quest to slay the Swamp King and halt the creeping poison from consuming the world. There are many quests and moral dilemmas you will face as you rise to be the heros the world deserves, but history is never silent; are your swords, fists, and guns good enough to remain pure?

I highly recommend this game if you like J/RPGS. That being said, here’s some more details and greivances:

Aesthetics: Nostalgic!

This game’s sound design and appearance, right down to the layout of the battle screen, give it an 8-bit feel, reminiscent of the early Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior) games. The battle music is particularly good; it will get stuck in your head!

Narrative: Simple and Many

While the game has one overall objective of defeating the Swamp King, there’s no “main” plot line. There are many little side stories. Some of the quests present the player with moral choices; a couple of these really made me stop and think.

Heroes of Shaola

this game needs to be played at least twice to find all hidden areas. great storyline with many questions and political overtures. the bestiary list is a great idea. what it does need is the ability to run without using key. Some parts are very dark esp in caves and hard to see the creatures, There are plenty of chests etc and other places to get items and gold and side quests to help. Overall all it is a great game and looking forward to the follow up in the series.

Update: List of bugs that the developer says he fixed since I posted my review:

  • The game would always crash at the final boss. “Loading Error Failed to load: img/characters/$BigMonster2.png”. I fixed this myself by going into the game files and renaming the corrupt image to the correct filename.

  • Deleted the save game file that came with the game

List of bugs that the developer SHOULD fix:

  • Fix Dale’s skill set - he lacks the “Magic” command, so he can’t cast most of the skills he learns on leveling up

Art of Deception

Art of Deception

Assassination game similar to The Deed but longer & contain more story

The only cons i can think is the translation while decent is not perfect(Originally russian indie game)

the menu remain in russian though through trial and error i can guess which is one is load/save/item

All in all it’s worth it for a few dollars

Too bad the translation is incomplete in the last part..all russian..didnt understand single things

Unsung Kingdom

Unsung Kingdom

It’s a very classic JRPG story that I always love. Graphic and character art are nice. For a free game, the gameplay is smooth and doesn’t have any bugs (Some believe that free things mostly have bad quality but this game is an exception). U can feel that this game is really made with love. If this game got localized to English, I think more people will enjoy this story even though it’s a short one. My only feedback to the dev is the counter window opportunity that last only like 1-2 seconds. Way too fast. Seems it was set for mobile phone (tap action) rather than for PC (mouse and keyboard). I try to hit the counter but most of them time, I always miss it even when I already dragged my mouse as fast as I could.

I waited for the english translation but I forgot about it being released so I started playing today :/

So after maybe 3 hours I completed the game. The only sad thing is that I had Sound Bugs during battles.
