The Tainted
You play as Jezebel, a mysterious girl who awakens in the woods, with little memory of her past. Unlike most of the humans of this world, she can use magic and communicate with intelligent creatures. In trying to live up to her motto of always doing what’s necessary, she often finds herself in uncomfortable situations.
Along the way to exploring the land of Xanthia, you’ll gain allies to help you face the many challenges that await. Do you have what it takes to stop the Taint?
Features:
Old school, 2D style RPG
Turn-based combat
Partial spell customization
Mature/immature humor
Mini-games
The Tainted was created using the RPG Maker MV engine and makes use of a lot of content created by the RPG Maker community. It attempts to tell a unique and funny story, as well as show off some of the talent found in this often overlooked community. Much of the humor is of a mature nature and is not intended for younger viewers. So, if you enjoy classic RPGs with turn-based combat and are also an adult that still thinks farts are funny….you might also enjoy The Tainted.
Video Game Fables
“Video Game Fables” is a fun, lighthearted RPG adventure set in a once-traditional RPG world that hasn’t had a player in decades.
The world’s script gets completely ruined by someone calling herself “The Forsaken Princess.” It’s up to Aru (the world’s princess), Nate (an NPC aspiring to be a hero), and Tator (the villain’s son) to get things back to normal…or maybe change everything forever.
-
Lighthearted humor throughout the dialog, characters, and world.
-
Fun narrative and story that doesn’t rely on parody and has its own identity.
-
Challenging, fast-paced, turn-based battles that require strategy and quick thinking.
-
Colorful and vibrant stylized graphics.
-
Unique XP and leveling system which lets you allocate resources to setup your party strategically.
-
Skill crafting, light class system that changes play styles slightly depending on equipped weapon, weapon upgrades, mining, fishing, simple gardening, and many more fun features.

Slime Kingdom - An Unlikely Adventure!
I’m confused it’s a demo and it’s super short only 2 min at most and you need to buy DLC to start playing the game?!

This is a terrible game and demo. There are tons of bugs I discovered. You can BYPASS DLC and play part of Episode 1! Just click on your save file then progress. There you go, Episode 1, but it’s bugged because you’re not suppose to play it. I got to the
! Temple part to face the boss, then the game softlocks after the boss dialog when he hits you. The ant enemy is way too strong. It’s “Crunch” move does way too much damage like 200-300, half your life, while the other enemies just do like 30-60 damage. Verdict: This game sucks. Not even worth the DLC.

Tortured Hearts - Or How I Saved The Universe. Again.
I’m not much of a review writer, so I’m not going to do an in-depth analysis, but 150+ hours in I’ve become completely addicted to this game. As advertised, it’s old school in the larger sense of its design and flow, but it has elements and specifics that are entirely unique. It is difficult at first to figure out how some things work, so you do what pretty much all old school RPG’rs did: play for a while, figure out how things work, then start a new game for real. There’s a huge demo that can serve that purpose for you. This is not one of those games with 40 hours of cut scenes and an onscreen arrow pointing you to what you need to do next, where flashy graphics (that sometimes even work) substitute for game play. You will get quests that you will not be able to solve until well into the game, and you’ll have to stop and think about where you need to go and who you need to talk to. If you want a game that holds your hand and points you to every answer, this is not for you. If you want to solve things on your own, can handle some frustration and you value the game over flash, I think this is a great game for you.

Game has some great potential but just far too frustrating. I fully get the concept of trying not to “hand hold” to make the game more difficult, but so much of this game is just running all over the map just hoping you find the right person to talk to and trigger the correct speech line. The entire game is mostly just based on brut force.
Then there is the combat system. You have no control at all over what your team does in combat. To make it worse, the AI is horrible. You will find your team wasting mana casting a cc spell on an already cc’d enemy or casting the same spell over and over that the enemy is immune to. A strong monster will be one hit away from death and your mage will cast three straight buffs instead of killing the monster.

How much of this game I’ve played: 12 Hours, 35 minutes
How I’ve played so much: I had a pre-ordered non-steam copy.
Completed Main story, not the super secret boss area.
Here’s why you’d be interested in this game: Good rhymes, good story, old school gameplay.
Good rhymes: If you haven’t heard of BeNeVoLeNcE, you might have heard of Mega Ran - he’s known for clean nerdcore rhymes over chiptune beats and melodies. Hip Hop by both is featured in the game, and it’s not an “afterthought” like it might be in some games - the music is interwoven in with the story - it’s actually rewarding to gain access to the rhymes that go along with the instrumentals in different parts of the game.
