Emiko's Pledge 3

Emiko's Pledge 3 is a template flip from Anamik Majumdar, who keeps reskinning the same lame GameMaker Studio game templates and re-releasing them on Steam with a few minor changes. The GameMaker Studio templates he keeps re-releasing are just basic retro pixel (couldn't he rip off a template with proper graphics??) 2D top down/platformer stealth/action games. Here's some other copy + pastes from Anamik of [i]exactly the same game template[/i]: The 2D retro pixel platformer template: [list] [*] Balloon Azuna [*] Boon Boon [*] Christmas Cats Revenge [*] Electronic World Z [*] Emiko's Pledge [*] Emiko's Pledge 2 [*] Fight For Love [*] Jaxon The Thief [*] Keatz: The Lonely Bird [*] Mission XAM [*] NightmareZ [*] Orange Santa [*] Smash Halloween Pumpkins: The Challenge [*] Super Strawberry Man [*] The Christmas Gifts [*] The Hero of Bangaona [*] The Valley of Super Flowers [*] Yui Tui [*] Zack Y [/list] There's also this other template which has been copied+pasted many times: The 2D top down retro pixel stealth/darkness template: [list] [*] Abandoned Croxon Mansion [*] Axizon Labs: Zombies [*] Gaze At Maze [*] Ghost In The Barn House [*] Gregor Hills Haunted Hospital [*] Haunted Jail: Alcatas [*] Heltons Haunted Hotel [*] House Number 666 [*] My Haunted Doll [*] Rescue Rina [*] The Chills [*] The Haunted Exmone Theatre [*] The Haunted Tunnel [*] Canterz Paranormies [/list] And honorable mentions, the two shoot 'em up copy+pastes, Proxy Air Force and Warships on the Halloween Night. These are all basically the exact same GameMaker Studio game templates with a different skin and a couple of things changed. No professional effort was made in terms of game development, using a game construction kit requires no game development talent, and unsurprisingly produces products that have little to no value as games, especially when compared to the work of professional developers who create genuine products for gamers. No matter how many times this guy copy+pastes the same game, it's not suddenly going to become anything but garbage. Rehashing the same game over and over again is just a cheap nasty cash grab. While Anamik Majumdar occasionally breaks Valve guidelines for partners and attacks reviewers, any legitimacy he may have is eradicated by the way he pumps these copy+paste asset flips out and bulk sells keys to crapware bundle merchants like DailyIndieGame. It's also important to note Anamik Majumdar has denied using GameMaker Studio to make his asset flips, despite every single one being made with GameMaker Studio. It's unclear why Anamik Majumdar has been misleading about these templated cash grabs. The poor quality of this asset flip is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the game all-time peak player count was only ONE player. That's right, only one person ever played this at a time. When I played this for the purposes of reviewing it, I equalled the peak player count for the game. OUCH. 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 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. Emiko's Pledge 3 has the total ripoff price of around $5 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. For comparison, the $5 asking price for this game could get you games like "Just Cause 3", "Torchlight 2" or "Batman: Arkham Origins". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this. As usual, my recommendation is to never give money to asset flippers and construction kit copy+paste cash grabs, so don't reward this one. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote]
