Sanctus Mortem
Streaming through this game is one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had in a LONG time! The story is beautiful, the music iconic and the graphics VERY well done. The game is extremely engaging, well balanced stat wise, and just a heck of a lot of fun. I recommend it to any and ALL RPG lovers and I can’t wait for the next installment of the story!

Played through the entire thing on stream and as a beginner RPG player… this was an absolute blast! The emotional roller coaster this game sends you through is just too much! The mechanics aren’t hard to learn either. I’m so glad I was able to go for this wild ride. It opened my eyes to how fun RPG’s can be!

Romancing Monarchy
A good little game. Not so easy to play, because it needs some tactics about classes.
Bosses are strong enough to give a challenge.
After 5 hours spent, I’m far away from the end. Thank for this game. It is cheap, so i had no regrets to buy it. Honestly, I had never think that a little game like this gave me sensation that i search when i play a game. I’m not asking for more.

Loved it! Pretty good game! No need to wait for a sale at this price! It is under $3.50, so you have to remember you didn’t pay $50 for it, but it’s pretty awesome, I loved it!

Timmy the Tiger’s Big Adventure
Underrated gem. A surprisingly witty little adventure. If you like classic RPGs, you’ll probably like this one too. Rewards exploration, pleasant graphics, and in general just very fun for what it is. Short and sweet, but well worth the price.
Also, you play as a tiger named Timmy.
10/10 would tiger again.

Bleeding Sun
In short: A basic story made more interesting by multiple choices which only seem to affect buffs and abilities and the endings of the game. Feels unbalanced in the second half. Not worth full price, but a solid maybe at a 50% off or better sale.
I was gifted a free copy for the purposes of this review, but it will not affect or bias my review in any way.
Bleeding Sun is an interesting game, in the fact that it is sort of a cross between a visual novel and an RPG game. The problem is, it doesn’t seem to know which it wants to be, and it suffers from the split personality more than is enhanced by it.

This is actually a neat RPGmaker game, the english is not the best however the characters, plot and setting are pretty solid.
The gameplay is quite nice aswell it gets away from standard RPGMaker combat with new resource systems for attacks. The game has polish issues but is worth 5 bucks certainly

Monsters of Kanji
Review updated after about 10 hours played:
Monsters of Kanji is a classic-style, old-fashioned RPG. You explore a world, level up, learn skills, find companions and battle monsters in turn-based combat.
As for the Japanese language, think of the 1,900 words as completely optional collectibles - some of which are sneakily hidden in secret areas. You can ignore them and still enjoy the game in full, but if you do decide to look at every signboard to unlock a new word, you’ll gradually fill up the “Ancient Archive” which will reward you with cosmetic changes to your hero and his allies. For the studious, you can use this archive as a language-review center if you so wish.

I have really enjoyed my time playing Monsters of Kanji. Don´t expect this game to teach all about Japanese, but it can be used as a tool to review some of the basic grammar and vocabulary (1900 words). The story itself is good and you can see the love the creator put into making this game. Not a AAA game, but i would recommend it to anyone who enjoys an rpg game or indie games.

Greyfox RPG
“I am incapable of conceiving infinity, and yet I do not accept finity. I want this adventure that is the context of my life to go on without end.” ― Simone de Beauvoir, La Vieillesse
Greyfox is a really short RPGMaker adventure game that tries to come as an empathy simulation with the touch of speculative supernatural motifs scattered on the side. Fair warning though: pledging catch phrases like “a town with a sinister secret” and “uncover its mysteries” that we encounter in the trailer are quite the misleading advertisement here. Whether there be any sinister secret or a mystery to uncover - or not, it sadly won’t be in our heroine’s power to reveal in this really, really short adventure. We are just invited for a brief experience and shooed away to carry on with our lives without much explanation.

At most, I think the game is okay.
I can see what its goal was to do and for what it presents, it’s okay as a whole. However, the dialogue can be groan-worthy at times and the story arc for each character is too short to actually be memorable or even to have anything more than the cliches. I was able to finish this game and got all the achievements in less than two hours. The game tries to present this “depressing” and “mysterious” story and present “tough” choices for the fate of each character, but looking at it as a whole, it doesn’t exactly deliver the impact that it wants to give off.

Legionwood 2: Rise of the Eternal’s Realm - Director’s Cut
Finally beat the game! Well, one of several endings. I have to say that this game is an exceptional turn based RPG. Here are a few reasons that I personally enjoyed the game:
The class system is way more balanced than Final Fantasy ever achieved. With the right combination of skills and equipment, you can make every class a useful one. Every character can be developed however you see fit. There is a lot of replay value in just trying out differently developed characters.
There are a lot of side quests, but nothing that you have to devote hundreds of hours to complete.

Legionwood 2:RotER is a solid addition to the RPG maker roster for the cost, but be warned, it is DIFFICULT.
The story and characters are standard RPG fare, with an interesting if somewhat ambiguous class system. If you play this game and get frustrated I recommend reading some of the class guides and planning ahead.
Pros: Again, has everything an RPG needs to work well enough to be worth the purchase cost if you have the stones to finish it. This game is hard enough to be a challenge to even the most hardcore RPG fan.

Blind Girl
Seriously, screw this crappy game. Horrible controls, you have to navigate a tedious forest maze. But what genuinely annoyed me was that they could really do with a few more savepoints.
! I was at the fairy challenges. I got through the first two and then I reached the Gryphon and accidentally tapped my keyboard when its eyes were open. Game over, I have to start at the first fairy challenge again and renavigate through a bunch of cut and paste forest screens to redo the first two crappy challenges. I might have made another attempt to get the Gryphon feather, IF THE STUPID GAME HAD SAVED AT THE 3RD CHALLENGE.

Rough but cute art style and presentation, intriguing story but all in all not worth the tedious and frustrating puzzles and mini-games with instant game overs. This would have worked way better as a visual novel.

Deadly Sin 2
Wow, this game deserves an awful lot more praise than it has received! While the story may be a bit on the average side compared to the best RPGs in history, for an RPG Maker game, this game goes above and beyond. Let’s see some ratings:
Graphics: 8/10 (for RPG Maker, of course)
Music: 8/10 (Some really nice tunes here, great work Harmonic!)
Skill System: 7/10 (It’s pretty good, but not ground-breaking. Being able to refund and reuse points is a nice touch, though. Any customization in an RPG Maker game is welcome!)

Well this is something different, ive gotten hooked on an rpg maker game. I neevr thought this day would acually come alas it has. I havent finished the game but from the looked of it and from the other reviews im not even close.
Here is a taste of what you would get if you were to get this game(its always under £1 on g2a so its a steal).
Its very well polished, no mistakes in grammer or spelling
Charecters are well thought out and consistent
Adult humor, not to the nsfw zone but its funny in its own way, its like they are not going for the in your face borderlands style of humor which is great as ive not played a game like that for a while.

ILLUSION
Having played this game,
I can say I would recommend this to people who like the aesthetic of this game and the aesthetic of OFF
AND
like very base or crude humor
The music is good to goddamn infuriating mostly due to sometimes being lost in the game or having to loop through different places and having to hear the same piercingly loud music loop which contrasts with the fact that nothing is actually happenning while you are having to figure out what puzzle you needed to complete.
The combat is very average to boring

(This is an old text I wrote into the forum but I’m starting to rate more games so I can keep track of them and help small games to pass magic review count thresholds. So it might not reflect recent updates properly.)
Well done for the most part. I’m a sucker for these twisted, surrealistic kind of games. Well-paced and well-told!
Still, it felt amateurish in some regards:
- I’ve no problem with swear words, but most of the cursing seems to be there just for its own edgy sake. I guess it’s supposed to emphasize the girl’s attitude, but it felt kinda forced.
