Dark Descent: The Blue Rose

Dark Descent: The Blue Rose, honestly im not even sure I know how I feel about this one. The game will be pretty niche but I think it can find its place, maybe. As a rough indie RPG it seems decent enough to me, but that shouldn't be taken as an endorsement.

Love this game, I'm still playing and enjoying it every moment of it. I like how the story is written about Heaven and Hell. The combat system is the ideal combat that should be on every RPG. What I don't understand is, Why is this game FREE when it should be easily Sixty dollars!

There's virtually no guides for the game and while it starts out really well, once you get to the cave thats supposed to take you to the witches castle you're stuck because there's no explaination on how to advance. There's a boulder and a red button, but no idea on how to get the boulder to go on the button and there's no pathway through like there is on the walk through I saw on youtube. Also, the controls are set up very weird. I like the idea of this game, the style reminds me of Maple Story but there needs to be a walk through or something to help people when they get stuck in the game.

very good jrpg but needs better controls and options perhaps in a future update

游戏内时间10小时多一点，打完第一章，第二章进行了一半左右。 作为 免费游戏来讲素质不错，完成度很高，游戏过程中也没有遇到任何bug。 放弃的原因是不够有意思，各方面都没有亮点。 到第二章为止的剧情一直都是白开水，光明与黑暗理所当然的斗争，各个主角都有自己所谓宿命，毫无个性，剧情没有起伏转折，寡淡无味。 系统上最大亮点是普攻的QTE，速度够快有先攻的话经常可以无伤过杂兵战。但是技能没有QTE，虽然技能伤害比有QTE的普攻高一点，但还是有点鸡肋。合成系统我没整明白，合成了几个高等级的宝石但不知道怎么镶嵌。。。支线任务基本等于没有，只有固定几个点的悬赏任务，打够特定怪物的掉落即可，没啥意思。迷宫单调乏味，也没找到隐藏要素。 用的画面素材完全是RM的，所以也没啥可看的，音乐音效没有听不能评论。 以上这些平淡的要素耗尽了我的耐心，就此放弃了。

+mouse integration -poor pathfinding -cliche story Hell vs Heaven again

Great game, but game stops responding after last save. Before getting to castle in south west past -howling forest area, game has frozen up twice. I haven't had this problem with any other games on steam. Hopefully the next update will fix it? Looks and plays a lot like old final fantasy.
