Mari and the Black Tower

Decent rpgmaker game with a surprising amount of class choices, not only for the companions, but for the main character as well. All with different skills. The maps are large and filled with secrets. But the whole game is being dragged down by 2 major pains in the ass. The ridiculous frequency of the random encounters and limited line of sight. Exploring everything, trying to do all the quests and finding all the secrets is a huge chore. Even though most of the time you can reliably skip encounters sometimes you get them literally every 3 steps. The game constantly wastes your time. As for the line of sight there are a lot of areas where you can see in a small radius around you and that's only if you have a torch. Trying to navigated labyrinths when you can't see ♥♥♥♥ only leads to unnecessary back tracking and constant encounters. There are items to prevent encounters, but along side torches you will have to keep opening and navigating through the menu. Either way it's constant interruptions and pointless hindrances. The game is so much better in well lit areas or in areas without random encounters. I know I've missed 2 bosses and an important quest, but I can't possibly be arsed to go again through previous areas. I recommend playing this game while doing something else. I personally watched more than 2 seasons.

Is it real? Yes - a rpgmaker JRPG with good characters, good art, has music, good dialog, a solid game. BUT SHORT. $2 is 2 much. Find something else unless they lower price. ONE TOWN, ONE DUNGEON. (had i realized that i'd not have bought it). For $2 it's "A RIPOFF". Why is because at GameStop you'd get a used copy of Chronocross or FFIX used what for ALLOT LESS money (for playable hours, number of towns and dialog art, number of dungeons etc). Even new in saran wrap the best PS games "cost less" comparatively. The other nay sayer posters are right: only one dungeon (the tower) and you keep on having to light torches (they don't last long - so it gets annoying quickly) HOWEVER: that "worth the money" factor aside: it plays well and is enjoyable as any small RPG, if you don't mind gas lighting allot of torches! It's not bad it's just small and overpriced.

Самая короткая и приятная игра из серии The Knights of Ambrose Saga. История происходит после событий двух частей Knight Bewithed. История девушки Эбби и её верной спутницы феи Мари. В отличие от остальных частей, данная игра разделена на своего рода уровни. Путешествовать по миру нельзя, но можно переходить из одной локации в другую. История Эбби и Мари тоже является романтической аналогично, истории Рут и Гвен. В самом начале можно собрать собственное пати. Приятный саундтрек. Моя оценка 9 из 10.

Очередное пополнение коллекции для любителей игр на RPG Maker. Смесь Roguelike и JRPG. Командой из четырех героев будем обследовать подземелья Черной Башни. В игре типичные пошаговые бои, а вот путешествие по карте необычное. В подземельях мы будем бродить в темноте! Света тут мало. Надо подбирать факелы и освещать путь вокруг героя или бегать от одного освещенного места до другого. Бегать в полной темноте опасно! Можно попасть на шипы и погибнуть. В подземельях их много. Некоторые можно убрать переключателями. В игре нет русского языка. Играть можно без знаний английского. Все задания записываются в журнал, а над персонажами, которые их дают, светит соответствующий знак. Вы их точно не пропустите. В игре около 30 различных квестов. Их берем в городе, а выполняем в подземельях. Добротная RPG на RPG Maker. Не слишком длинная и не слишком сложная.

RPG Maker strikes again! "Mari and the Black Tower" was 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 was essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displayed badly in fullscreen and didn'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 as a substitute for "professional" game development. Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game featured extremely low quality copy + pasted 2D retro pixel art, looked awful, and had even worse gameplay. RPG Maker is an absolutely terrible construction kit, and never results in games of any reasonable quality or value to gamers. This was a painfully generic RPG Maker asset flip about the developers waifu/imaginary girlfriend being stuck in a black tower... that's pretty much all there is to it, if you disregard all the crap fanfiction and badly done RPG Maker template filling out/asset flipping. "Mari and the Black Tower" didn't appeal much to the people who own a copy of the game, either. It had achievements, and they showed us a very clear picture that the game didn't really capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement was for watching some of the crap anime fanfiction "lore", trivial to get, but less than 26 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. Hardly a success story, gamers just weren't all that interested in the game. The developer removed this from Steam for no apparent reason, leaving this garbage to harm gamers on Android (so this is basically a mobile app), and on the asset flipper/scammer website, Aldorlea, who are famous for spamming literally hundreds of crap RPG Maker asset flips with no value for gamers onto Steam. Good riddance.

Since the latest bugfixes this game is finally playable from start to finish without mayor bugs. I really enjoyed the story and will replay it with the remaining classes to finalize my guide.

The game is rough around the edges, the dungeon is too dark and has a lot of memes that have aged like milk. But there are bits here and there to like. The party building is varied and quests keep you motivated to keep going deeper.

Classic.

ยังมีบั๊กอยู่บางจุด แต่โดยรวมแล้วเกมเพลย์เล่นเพลินๆ เนื้อเรื่องสนุกมากกก แนะนำว่าซื้อเกมนี้แล้วให้เก็บเกมอื่นในซีรีส์นี้มาเล่นด้วยจะได้สนุกกับเนื้อเรื่อง
