Raptors of SouthEdge
I saw no relevant reviews, so gave it a shot. I often like game books with a little RPG to them.
As of this writing, its 3 bucks to buy. Its about right. I’m fairly certain this is a first attempt from the developer to make a game. The presentation is plain, but does have some nice pictures thrown in occasionally. The font to select options is a little hard to read, and I encourage the developer to read up a little on UX design and user interface.
Its a game book, so how is it? Its pretty amateur. The writing is sometimes a bit awkward, but it gets its point across. Feel like playing the captain of a mercenary group during a zombie apocalypse and you want the 3 dollar version? Here you go.

Athenian Rhapsody
Athenian Rhapsody is a new comedic RPG game in which you’ll explore the world of Athens! It is a turn based RPG with intense and fast paced real-time-dodging. You’ll be faced with many challenges, and you’ll have to fight your way through the world by either fighting, or awkwardly trying to make friends with the enemies through pick-up-lines, mean jokes, memory games, and other strange and funny interactions. You’ll also be faced with many vigorous mental challenges, with mind bendingly difficult puzzles such as “Push Button” and “Spell Richard”. There is a vast amount of activities in Athens that do not fall under the RPG category as well, and will catch you off guard.
There are a large amount of enemies you’ll have the chance to battle, all befriendable and all with large amounts of unique dialogue. Some of the creatures you’ll develop a strong bond with will join your party, and you can switch to them in battle! They also have different abilities in battle, so you may want to swap party members depending on the situation. Well, assuming you’ve made friends with them instead of murdering them for their EXP… There are 16 possible followers for you to discover, as well as numerous alternate endings and story extensions based on your decisions ingame.
There is something for everyone to enjoy with lots of unique and engaging battle mechanics, a large amount of characters with their own stories and interactions with the world, and some intensely tough challenges down the line as well.

Augmented Future
The concept was intriguing, but I didn’t like the pseudo real-time combat. The timers are way too fast: there’s almost no time to click (much less think).
The interface is clunky: lots of waiting for text or buttons to load, for instance. I did play around with the settings and improved the speed as best I could, but waiting for components to load in such a minimalistic interface just feels bad.
There were also some basic bugs, like superimposed buttons.
Bottom line for me: if I’m going to play a game that ditches graphics for the sake of gameplay, I want the interface to be very good, and not something I feel like I’m fighting.

Disgraced
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.

Loren The Amazon Princess
This game quickly became one of my Top 5 Favorite Games on Steam. It’s a JRPG-style game from an non-Japanese indie game company named Winter Wolves. This company is mostly known for dating sims and visual novels, but honestly, I think this game is their best yet. (Although, to be fair, I haven’t played all their games yet.)
Important note: The DLC is a MUST HAVE. Honestly, the story would seem very incomplete without it, so if you get this game, get the DLC. This review is also based on having it.

Ok, so the game is not a total fail. It does several things well, but the negative review is due to several factors that I cannot overlook, which I will explain here.
It starts off promising, with customization of stats, distinct NPCs and a nicely stylized art. The story starts off a bit cheesy and cliche, but it does several things well - you are not the main hero but their sidekick, which is immediately nicely refreshing; it boldly tackles the topics of misandry and racism; choices alter the story you experience. Soon after, however these lose their novelty and you begin to realize that while you are the sidekick you still play like the hero - you are their equal in strength and you can easily make everyone like you; the topics I mention could be explored more in-depth but instead the game does not go beyond “everyone is prejudiced, for no good reason, except you, so tell them how wrong they are, without a particularly good reason; and the different paths are for the most part inconsequential.

Planet Stronghold 2
Yall just had to make this game huh. Well i am happy you did but mad because now i have to choose. I hate Choosing there is so many Romance Options i want to do and i dont exactly feel like playing through the entire game. 12 times or more… Not including playing through the first one…. I will probably do these things i am just saying that it makes me upset…. I am Indecisive as all heck how dare you give me choices…
All in all the game is awesome the only complain i have is well how the MC personality is… It is honestly just two ways and that is kinda well boring. THough with all the choices you get the make it makes this less of a big deal by quite a bit. The only other complaint i have is well why cant i be with Cliff as a female. All in all this is such a great game the story and everything is awesome. So yea i recommend this game.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Ratings : 9/10
Planet Stronghold 2 is another excellent game that I enjoyed tremendously. Although it is a bit expensive, I felt that it is worth it, because it give me 100+ hours of fun and enjoyment. This game also have great replayability as I played it more than 10 times to get the 75 achievements.
This game is a wonderful blend of both RPG and VN; both genre that I loved very much. As for RPG, you have the option of choosing 4 different starting classes (soldier, guardian, scout, psionics), and 2 different factions (empire, rebels). You can also choose either male or fema You even have the option to toggle nudity and erotic text too, without the need to download any special patches, as in most other games.

Questr
I found QUESTR to be very entertaining. It is not much as a game, but what it lacks in gaming substance it makes up in content.
You start by inviting people to join your quest party. Many of the people lie on their profiles and some characters hate your other members so much that they quit right away.
Every quest has multiple events in which you need to select one characters idea how to solve them. For example you encounter a vampire. Will you send a) the Vegan to talk to him about being vegan b) the drunk to talk about drinking c) or the bro who says he got this as he had to watch vampire movies with his ex. Results might not be what you expect.

Questr is an RPG parody of dating apps similar to Tinder.
In a similar fashion, you swipe left and right to build the perfect RPG team. Every potential party member has likes and dislikes, levels, costs to hire, and personality traits as well as their own class, guild, and ancestry.
Personality traits determine the outcome of encounters throughout each quest. Beating an encounter raises morale, while failing lowers it. Party members also interact with one another between encounters, further raising or lowering morale depending on how well personality types get along and whether or not you paid attention to likes and dislikes. At the end of a quest, the morale level determines if you successfully complete it, giving you a reward and the possibility of having party members continue to quest with you.

Fate of Persephone
This RPG is partially inspired by the classic Sleeping Beauty story. Fate of Persephone attempts to give a new spin on role playing games: a predominately female cast of characters, a ‘magic only’ battle structure, and a focus on alternative ways to advance in the game. The game awards experience points not only for fighting but also for acquiring wisdom through puzzle solving, lore studying, secret area finding, etc.
The game also will feature four times of day that are based off of the time of the realm to add different moods to every area. Some treasure chests are ‘random prize’ to pay homage to the classic paper-and-pencil RPGs that so many of us love. A full digital audio music score in high-quality stereo WAV format is also included to allow us to more accurately help the player to become engrossed in the game; as we feel that music is one of the most powerful forms of art available to games. The project also includes voice acting as well.
Some of the features we have implemented:
-
Free moving inventory management
-
User friendly player equipping interface
-
Quest Journal that keeps track of game objectives
-
Automap that allows ARBITRARY fast travel
-
Atmospheric particle systems (dust, rain, smoke, etc.)
-
Voice acting with accurately timed mouth animations
-
Conversation trees with player decisions that determine future events
-
Play your way with multiple input styles (keybinds, icons, viewport)
-
Inventory trash can that can retrieve last five items discarded, if needed
-
Strong music score and ambient atmospheric sound tracks
far light
A game inspired by the jrpg of the nineties of turn battles, however it has something new like choices and freedom but like everything of the nineties do not think that you will find things easy.
interact and explore the game this is the biggest premise in this game of ten finals because even the main missions are not shown only commented by the npcs and the choices be careful what you choose after all.
you can end up as a slave or as the queen of your country this game is all interactable from buying a store to having an extra income to counting the truth to an old friend of your father will all give some kind of consequence whether it is good or bad I hope you like this experience different from other modern games
