Made in: RPG maker 95

Review by: Paladin

The first thing I noticed in this game was a bug and I hadn't started it yet. The game has no tilesets or enemy backgrounds or magic animations. So I had to take the tilesets, magic anis and the BG's from a new game that I created in RPG maker 95 and then it worked. Usually when I open a game I look at the tilesets and the maps to get a glimpse of the graphic quality in the game and to be able to prevent any bugs before I play the game. When I looked at this game I noticed that the author either doesn't know RPG maker 95 good or really didn't care about this game. Obviously the author didn't know how to 
use the events function and he made too much blue stuff, all the furniture and the signs were horribly blue. And there were actually no houses in the game. Only a inn where you can enter if you pay. A sure minus was that all the towns were builded on water. A town in the middle of a forest is floating on water? Strange eh? The graphics are poorly combined and you loose the RPG touch five seconds after you have started playing. This is not how you make a game. But one thing was strange. He posted some midis with the game but they don't work. But since he packed them with I listened to the and gave a little score for this (because I don't know how he has combined them) and I also noticed that he had stolen the midis (or the dragon king author stole it from him) from the RPG maker 95 game, Dragon King. A ripoff from a RPG is tolerable but when you rip the whole midi library and have them exactly named as the game you stole it from, now that is bad style. And the story is worthless in this game. You get to read a little piece of text that makes no sence and then you teleport to an island where 
when you talk to a woman get teleported to a town. (How did she take you there? Did she swim?) There is no plot whatsoever (or at least I didn't find one) and the events come as you go. I didn't get anything and when the demo was over I was sitting like a living question mark thinking "what? Where is the story?". Anyway, the game left a lot of questions and it really should be remade, 'cause a game like this can't be repaired. A total makeover is needed. That is all I have to say.

The overallt percent:
Bugs, Glitches & Crashes: A lot of glitches is an understatement, I don't lie when I say that 90% of the game is a glitch. But no known bugs except for the one that the author forgot to send the tilesets and the BG's with, and also the game never froze or crashed. 30%
In game music and SFX: What sound, no SFX here. But there was music even if it was a total ripoff from the Dragon King game. And when I say total I mean total. The midis had the same name and there were exactly the same number of 'em and so on and so on. 20%
Character & BG Graphics: Well I cant complain on the tilesets even if they are the original ones, and the characters are the same. But still they were terribly combined so i can't even say that this game had any graphics. Sorry who ever made the game but a 30% it is. 30%
Cutscenes: Los grandes NOTHING 0% 
The in game Plot and introduction: No plot and story whatsoever. You just seem to come to places and then leave. Terrible. (I have used that word often in this review) 10%
