Moonchild

Nope

Огромный минус игры в том, что есть задания которые невозможно выполнить если не сделал их в определенное время. Из-за этого пришлось перепроходить пол игры заново. (( ЗАЧЕМ разрабы делают "мёртвыми" некоторые квесты, не понятно ((( Так же не пойму зачем делать такими длинными коридоры, бежишь 3 монитора по прямой, ничего не происходит, добежал, взял фласку и обратно... Зачем их делать такими длинными, в чем смысл? Сама же игра проста. Сюжет обычный. Магия практически у всех одинаковая (если она есть). P.S. Первый RPG Marker в котором сделал все достижения так как они не сложные или уже просто привык к подобному.

Anyone, and I mean anyone, reviewing this game negatively either doesn't play RPGs as a passion or is stuck up about minute details. An unsurprising fact on Steam, as it's about as persistent as deceitful or lying reviews. The current top one is a stellar example. Half the people reviewing these games have no clue what RPGMaker is or how it works, needless to say their reviews reflect that perfectly, ya-da-ya-da. The game costs 50 cents right now. Don't act like a review shouldn't reflect price. 50 cents for a good game with a fun story/pace. 'nough said.

I had fun with this game up until the end of it. You can have multiple save files and choose the difficulty desired. You get many party members with varying abilities along the way (some magic, some physical attackers). If you need gold there is the ability to farm some of the monsters. (Some monsters will respawn, some will not.) Most monsters do drop some amount of gold. You are able to purchase gear, healing items, magic restoring items, and spells to learn from various shops. There are inns to heal at in each town. There is a party split that happens at two instances. One is part way through the game and the other is at the end of the game. What turned this from a thumbs up to a thumbs down review was the end of the game. Spoiler below: [spoiler]Stardust happened to be one of the strongest members on my team. At the end of the game, it is revealed she is actually evil and you are no longer able to play her. Playing this blindly, I had no idea. I had fed her a lot of stat boosting items throughout the playthrough. I had also taught her multiple spells I had purchased from shops in towns. No matter what I did, I was unable to complete the final battle against her. It felt like she had infinite HP. Some of the party members in the final boss fights (5 total) were more useful than others. Since you are unable to use Gabriel much at all in most of the playthrough, he was severely underleveled. I didn't know I would be forced to use him in the most difficult fight of the game after him barely being present for the majority of the game. I wish I had the option to pick which 4 I would have wanted to use, instead of being forced into using Calypso (useful), Jardel (useful), Gabriel (not useful), and Kenneth (OK, but would have preferred using Rupert for boosts + more helpful abilities overall).[/spoiler]

Combat feels terribly unbalanced, and the writing leaves a lot to be desired. Tried, but just couldn't find a sweet spot of enjoying it.

Moonchild is an old-school fantasy RPG developed and published by Aldorlea Games that proudly wears its inspirations on its sleeve. From the moment the adventure begins, it becomes clear that the game is designed for players who grew up with pixel-art classics and enjoy lengthy journeys filled with exploration, turn-based battles, and a steady stream of character progression. At the center of the story is Queen Calypso, whose life is turned upside down after her child is taken away under mysterious circumstances. Her quest to recover the Moonchild serves as the driving force behind an adventure that balances personal stakes with traditional fantasy elements, giving players a reason to remain invested throughout its substantial runtime. The game's strongest asset is the sheer amount of content it provides. Moonchild features a cast of nine recruitable characters, each contributing unique abilities and combat roles that encourage experimentation. The party management system adds welcome flexibility, allowing players to adjust their lineup according to the challenges ahead. Battles follow a familiar turn-based structure, rewarding preparation and thoughtful use of spells, equipment, and summoned allies. Rather than relying on random encounters, enemies are visible on the map, a design decision that helps maintain pacing and grants players more control over their exploration. Combined with multiple difficulty options, the game succeeds in making itself accessible to both experienced RPG enthusiasts and those looking for a gentler introduction to the genre. Exploration plays a significant role in the overall experience. Moonchild offers numerous side activities and hidden discoveries that reward players willing to stray from the main path. Dungeons are packed with treasure, optional encounters, and opportunities to strengthen the party, while the world itself feels expansive enough to justify repeated visits to earlier locations. The game's progression system consistently provides new abilities and equipment, ensuring that advancement feels meaningful from beginning to end. Its campaign easily stretches beyond twenty hours, and completionists can spend considerably more time uncovering everything it has to offer. Visually, Moonchild embraces a retro aesthetic that will immediately appeal to fans of classic console RPGs. The environments are bright and expressive, while the sprite work captures the charm of an earlier era without feeling overly simplistic. The soundtrack complements the adventure well, shifting comfortably between peaceful exploration themes and more dramatic compositions during key story moments. Although the presentation lacks the technical sophistication of modern releases, it achieves exactly what it sets out to do: create a nostalgic atmosphere that feels authentic rather than imitative. That said, Moonchild is not without its limitations. Its commitment to traditional design occasionally results in uneven pacing, particularly during longer dungeon sequences that can begin to feel repetitive. The narrative, while engaging, rarely strays far from familiar fantasy territory, and some dialogue lacks the polish found in larger RPG productions. Players seeking innovative mechanics or a deeply layered storyline may find parts of the experience predictable. However, these shortcomings are easier to overlook when viewed through the lens of the game's intended audience. Moonchild is less concerned with reinventing the genre and more focused on celebrating it. In the end, Moonchild succeeds because of its sincerity. It delivers a lengthy and enjoyable role-playing adventure built around exploration, party customization, and a heartfelt story about family and determination. Aldorlea Games demonstrates a clear understanding of what makes classic RPGs memorable, offering an experience that feels both nostalgic and approachable. While it may not stand alongside the genre's all-time greats, it remains a worthwhile adventure for anyone eager to revisit the style and spirit of retro fantasy gaming. Rating: 6/10

I'd love to say that i liked the game play but it's awful, It would've been better with a controller, less pointing and clicking. Lots of misdirections on the map and very slow paced story. I don't feel i've advanced in the main story at all in 3 hours. Shame

This seems like a pretty good game with nice graphics, but it seems like you have to wander around a lot trying to figure out which direction you are supposed to be going in. Right now I am trying to travel to the elven village from the palace where I started the game and it feels like it is taking forever.

Another nice JRPG from Aldorlea Games. Pleasant art and music, whimsical story. It is allot like the Millenium series but feels different enough I don't consider them the same game. Allot of "bad reviews" seem to not understand that you don't play Aldorlea games in the afternoon as an adult addicted gameplayer - they are for night time for sain people (or for younger players). They are pleasant and relaxing before bed or for anytime to reduce tension or pass some time (ie, not all day). You also don't expext Enix best RPG quality when you paid $2 or what. Difficulty - is selectable - you can play a harder game or not level up. Comments about easy battles are ridiculous. It doesn't force not winning or spending hours in the same area - that's for sure. It's your choice. However it's not a very long game with allot of content. 4 hr? not the 29 it timer shows. Maybe 6hr if your lost in the dungeon like I was.

Cute old style RPG. Loads of game hours and sidequests abound.
