Review of Legacy (Demo 2)

Created by PaladinSky

Reviewed by Vortex

To put it simply, this game was amazing. It was the only RM95 game that I have thouroughly enjoyed playing. Where should I start...

I didn't find any glitches, or bugs, except this one part where I was at a camp, and it faded out (it was supposed to) but then I suddenly died.. I didn't get it, but when I tried again it didn't happen. Also there are quite a few small spelling/grammar errors. Those need to be fixed.

The music was brilliant. Most or all of the music was taken from other games, but either way it makes this game sound really great. There are quite a few sound effects added into the game to make it sound even better.

The graphics, as far as tiles go, were excellent. You didn't usually see any open land (like pure green). It was always filled with trees, water, flowed, anything and everything. The graphics were amazing. The title screen was a very impressive AVI. I even watched it a few times after the first. Also PaladinSky took screenshots of his cave and used the screenshots as a map of the cave. That was also very impressive.

The cutscenes were, as the rest of the game, excellent. All the characters move around smoothly and glitchlessly.

Of course, the most amazing part of this game is the story. It has a very strong, and sometimes a little emotional, storyline. It leaves you speechless (as I am now). There are many different plot twists and it really shows how the three heroes do not want to be heroes. The background story is also very well written.

The challenge of the game is perfect. The monsters are not too hard or too easy. Just the right amount of shillies (gold) and experience are given. Inventory does not cost too much or too little. The whole design of the game is very good and it all fits together, something every game should have.

Bugs and Glitches: Spelling/grammar errors, and that odd glitch where I died in the camp when the screen faded out. Other than that, perfect. 80%

Music and SFX: Music was used from other games but it was very nice, used in a good way. The sound effects simply makes everything sound better. 95%

Tiles: They were used to make a beautiful world. Excellent. 98%

Other GFX: The title screen is very impressive, as are the cave maps and how they were made. 95%

Cutscenes*: There were many, and they ran smoothly. 100%

Story & Plot: Amazing! At some parts it gets emotional. A very strong story and a well written background story. 100%

Game Design: Everything in this game fits together perfectly. The design is great. 95%

Overall: The game was really great! I never enjoyed a RM95 game as much as this one. It deserves a lot of credit. 95%

Comments: Great job, Paladin! If this is only the second demo, I so eagerly await the 3rd demo (or the final release, whichever it shall be).

* - I do not refer to AVIs (they would be an extra), I refer to events on the screen moving around in a scene.
