Destiny of a Wizard 2: Beyond the Vale

RPG Maker strikes again! "Destiny of a Wizard 2: Beyond the Vale" is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. This is the sequel to an equally terrible RPG Maker asset flip called "Destiny of a Wizard", and just as that was completely awful, this is just as completely awful. Again we have an incredibly bland, generic plot about a "blue wizard" because primary colours are about as deep as the imagination of this asset flipper goes... once more the most notable thing about this is just how completely terrible the writing is, some of the worst writing known to mankind. Reading enough of it may cause an aneurism, so be warned, it's seriously that bad. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development. Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality copy + pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay. RPG Maker is an absolutely terrible construction kit, and never results in games of any reasonable quality or value to gamers. Gamers who want a good retro JRPG experience would be better off playing the originals, like Final Fantasy, Star Ocean or Chrono Trigger. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. "Destiny of a Wizard 2: Beyond the Vale" has the insane price of $11 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games. That's right, the "developer" of this RPG Maker asset flip has priced it higher than you can get Mass Effect or Frostpunk for. Mass Effect, or this RPG Maker asset flip garbage... what will you choose? The pricing here is sheer delusion. This is also competing with over 9,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.

Let’s talk about Destiny of a Wizard 2. This game is big. Packed. It’s a full-length RPG maker experience. Compared to the original Destiny of a Wizard, it has a crazy number of new features. Where the first game had the single character, this time around we have a 4 person party – and you get to pick the classes of your 3 allies. They’re all here, all of the standard RPG class characters – the tank, healer, wizard, etc. Once again, you are in the shoes of the blue wizard, continuing on your quest from where the first game left off. You will traverse through mountains, forests, towns, volcanos and some locations may even be familiar if you played the original game. Just like before, the developer has spilled his personality and love for the classic RPG era into the game, and it is oozing with references and call backs to the earlier days of SNES games, and I caught a few movie references in there as well. There are many characters that are voiced by the devs family and friends, and that adds a bit a fun to the mix as well. It feels like a natural progression of what the dev has learned from his previous games. Destiny of a Wizard 2 took me just a bit over 40 hours, and the build of your party can make the game easier or harder, depending on what you choose, and how you play them. There are many puzzles (so keep that notebook handy), different kinds of sequences to break up the monotony of the typical turn-based RPG slog, and a few side quests as well. The music and art are quite nice too, and go with the theme of the game, and do a terrific job representing the tone of the area, or the sequence that’s occurring. I had fun with this title, despite my play method of brute forcing my way through. The game took me a bit longer because of how I played, and didn’t properly utilize some of my classes, as well as some abilities, but nothing that grinding out a few levels couldn’t solve. So put down your favorite cookie, wear your wizard cape, don your favorite pointed wizard hat again, and enjoy Destiny of a Wizard 2.

This is by far better than the first one! It is more challenging, has more game options, and has much longer game play. This is one of the best RPGMaker games I've played. Depending on your tastes, here are the pro/cons you can find in this game: -Improved story line with more characters -Great humor -About 2 1/2 hours of voice overs -Some grinding is recommended, but it's not too much or too little -Can choose the name and gender of your entire team -Over ten playable classes so you can replay the game several times -Not as linear as the first game -You can save more often, like on the world maps -Visible enemies -Some chase scenes (like the spoiled Princess from game 1 who is still wanting you to marry her and she chases after you. Literally.) -More puzzles, mini games, and secrets to be found -No lag time, flawless controls -Easily 40 hours of game play -There is more bonus content (and the optional boss if pretty tough) that can add another 3-5 hours of game play -You can purchase a walkthrough at https://www.ultimacjproductions.com/fullversion For any fans of RPGs and RPGMaker games, this one is a "must play". And from what I've seen about the future Destiny of a Wizard 3, it will be even better than this one, if possible.

If u don't expect crisis lv of graphics and want a good single player rpg that u can enjoy then u came to right place. Game is fairly long, have variety of minigames/puzzles and is spiced with humour here and there. At start of game we can pick our party members outside of main character from various mercenaries (tanks/dps/healers/supports) and then we can be on our journey. To encourage exploring game have signpost we can collect, the more we find the more rewards we can get later (including op character that can make replaying for some achievment easier). There is also post game content including a very hard boss. Destiny of a Wizard 2 also have a good voice acting and overall good bgm.
