Disgraced

Love the looks. Runs quick & smooth. Like the story. Great Game, IMO.

Hoo boy, this game is TOUGH AS NAILS. To think there is an even HARDER mode than the default setting... I advise newbies to invest in accuracy based skills as soon as you can since you WILL BE MISSING YOUR ATTACKS A LOT (I despise RNG, VERY MUCH). An RPG set in a fictional rural Japan period, you set out on a quest to overthrow the evil tyrant hell bent on oppressing the people of Japan. This game is deceivingly difficult despite having the traditional RPG Maker appearance. 7 out of 10.

Excellent homage to a era of videogames we all should aspire to keep alive. Unique and captivating story with in-depth gameplay and character creation choices. Difficulty isn't a problem if you use your head and pay attention. Personally love the art style and setting.

Such Paradox-level DLC scummery is the last thing I expected from an utterly obscure indie dev.

in short: i had fun, finished it in kinda one go and regret nothing. for me its definitely a true gem in the waste of rpg maker games on steam. the difficulty was just fine, it kept me struggling a lot of times but it didnt looked impossible or unfair, just looking for another aproach or coming back a bit later. it has a lot of not nativ mechanics to rpg maker so its definitely very different from normal rpg maker games. there are sometimes things that doesnt make much sense, stuff thats not very understandable explained, and minor exploitable mechanics. but as far as i remember i found no bug. it got me hooked till i finished it in nearly one session and got a lot of fun for the low price. i would descripe disgraced as, playing a rpg maker game and thinking "man, it would be cool if i could do xy" and the dev sitting beside you "consider it done"

fun game

This game has been sitting in my library for a while and it took me a bit to get around playing it. Well I probably bit off a bit more than I could chew and started in hardmode, with those new modifiers active to give the game a bit more spice. Then I went running around with the sole purpose to ruin the Shogun's day. Making friends, building my fortress and liberating towns. What can I say - I had a ton of fun! The final battle was on the extremely hard side though and if I play again, I'll probably equip some weapons which pack a little more punch just for that occasion, as the difficulty curve went up there quite steeply.

Well done indie RPG. Enjoyed the story, writing, and plot. Pleased with the quality of the art and graphics. Combat was fun to figure out and challenging to master. Music and sound effects are pleasant and fitting for the setting. Happy that the OST avoided being repetitious. Recently played a lot of indie games with such recycled muzak I had to turn it off lol. Haven't tried hardcore mode yet, review is for normal.

Mix of RPG and a management game set in dark and gritty Japan under an oppressive regime that you have to liberate. Sounds amazing right? Yes. but the reality is very different. This is a bog standard RPG Maker game with very shallow mechanics and literally nothing interesting going on. + Great atmosphere and the settings is interesting. + There is a ton of variety in weapons and other gear. - Combat is bog standard RPG Maker, very boring and grindy. There are many weapons but they all feel the same. - There is nothing interesting going on - storywise or otherwise. You explore the map, fight a few enemies in a set locations, finish a few simple quests and thats it. - Management aspect of the game is very basic, kinda grindy and very very bland. You raise a few basic stats and spend them on activities - improving your town, convincing people to join your cause etc. - There is no easy way to save game - you have to go back to bed or have a special item in your inventory, Met a tough opponent you cant escape from? You die and go back to the previous save and do the exact same steps you just did. - There are no characters worth talking about - everyone has one sentence written about them, they might as well not exist. Story is very amateurishly done. Honestly a dissapointment for me. I wanted to like this game but the bog standard RPG maker gameplay and no presence of interesting story or mechanics made me drop it and i dont drop a lot of games.
