Mistress of Maids: First Castle

Gotta say, this game is both unique and fun. I've been playing it for a good while, and the no HP combat system works very well. It's faster paced than more Rogue likes, but didn't really sacrifice much depth. Visually, I find the castle setting more appealing than the dark caves you usually get in the genre. Though I will admit the game could benefit from a tad more variety. As of this review, the abilities aren't all that balanced, as some are pretty much useless. There's also no sound effects or music. Expect these issues to be resolved in the future. Overall, it's a fun and addicting experience! Highly recommend it.

Mistress of Maids: First Castle is not a full game, it's a demo/advertisement for the full game by the same name. Despite being only a demo, the developers erroneously listed this as a full game on Steam. This is a common mistake amongst developers who don't know the difference between games and demos, and developers unfamiliar with Steam and PC gaming. As far as advertisements for other games go, this is a bad one. It's basically a template/asset flip from the godawful GameMaker Studio video game construction kit. The developers copied a template for making a crappy JRPG, even worse than an RPG Maker asset flip, and dumped it on Steam as a cash grab. Typical of the terrible, video game worsening GameMaker Studio, resolution is locked, 4:3 aspect ratio (in 2019... monitor resolutions from 1994? Nice going guys). They chose to use 2D retro pixel "art" instead of modern PC graphics... why? Presumably due to lack of talent/skill/budget to do computer graphics probably. Regardless of the cause, the graphics are terrible. While this is "free", it's not even a full game, it's just a spam/advertisement for an asset flip cash grab, and should be avoided.
