- Initial Release.
There's a lot to like about this game so far. A real quality introduction to what I hope will be a long and fruitful adventure.
Wow, I'm really impressed. This game oozes quality.
Great writing, and the map design is amazing.
Really hope this won't be abandoned.
I agree with others, this is a fantastic start of a game. It feels more complete than a lot of the other RPGMaker games here, and although I have only played through the prologue, I must say that the progression of questlines are designed really well. I never felt that I had to "hunt" for progression, like I do in some other games because it was not clear what the objectives were or how the quests are activated. It just flows really well in this game and I like it.
Can't wait to see more.
This game is off to a fantastic start! The characters are likeable, the environments are well crafted, the battles are fair, and the story has a great first chapter! I'll be looking forward to the next release!
Megamand should be very proud. The level of polish and quality in this game is stellar. The stories are emotionally relatable, and the characters feel like real people instead of just tropes meant to deliver the next bit of TF/TG fun.
In terms of the narrative, megamand has struck a great balance of what information to leak and communicate, and what information to keep close to chest. There are enough secrets, and hints, and implied plot points to make this very interesting, and the interogation angle at the start is a great narrative hook. There are also some very subtle points that are great foreshadowing, sewing seeds for more plot development.
On the flip side, the dev has not done well with organically and subtly communicating how the game works, deferring instead to time consuming and slightly tedious tutorials that anyone familiar with any classic RPGs will just spam return to go through quickly. It's an unfortunate distraction from the world, story, made slightly more frustrating because there are ways to organically teach these mechanics rather than explicitly teaching. But this is a very minor complaint.
There are a lot of references, and memes, and most of the time they are quite funny, but it occasionally does border on being so on the nose as to distract from the story. Again though, this is a minor complaint.
The enemy balance is perfect for an RPG maker game. The encounters deal just enough damage, the enemy frequency is just right, and the loot is maybe a bit on the generous side, but not by much.
Right now, there is no TF content, but frankly, that's not even a problem with a game of this quality.
This game is a very well made RPGMaker game... And the biggest downside is that it's an rpgmaker game. That isn't inherently bad, but a lot of people don't like the engine. Which is a shame because they'll miss real gems like this.
