The epic quest to fix a broken toilet seat and save the world is now in your hands! The hit Japanese comedy series "The Benza" continues in this FTP retro JRPG!! 10 из 10
For fans of the television show, The Benza RPG is a dream come true. Literally every character in The Benza and Benza English can be found in the game. The battle system reminds me of Final Fantasy 10 as you can switch characters in and out of combat if you have more than four. Each weapon has different skills attached to it which allows you to customize your team a bit. Party members each have their own set role in combat. Each character is really useful, and there is no character that I just left on the bench. My favorite part about this is that even characters not in combat gain experience. It was really fun that the main cast of the television show voiced their characters, but I wished they had subtitles. Maybe a future update? The music and story are the best parts about this game. There are so many good songs. I was kind of sad the music wasn't for sale. I would have bought the soundtrack for sure. I really loved how funny the plot of the game was. I wanted to stop Inko Sensei of course, but mainly I just wanted to keep reading Chris and Kyle's meta commentary on what was happening. The ghost (yurei?) Tamura also made me laugh a lot. If you play retro RPGs it is quite intuitive and easy to pick up. In this version, there are only 3 or 4 of each weapon and armor type so it felt a bit easy at times. However, especially for people not used to JRPGs, this isn't the type of game you can just speed through. Especially later boss fights, you need to use strategy and take advantage of the "Switch" function in battle to win. I lost a few of the boss fights I tried to rush through. Not understanding character's roles in combat is another sure fire way to lose. The game doesn't feel unbalanced though, and learning new abilities and progressing felt natural. If you aren't familiar with the show, this game would be confusing. A lot of the quests involve looking for certain characters, and if you don't know who they are, it might be hard to find them. There was never a need for grinding, but if you don't properly heal and buy equipment bosses can take out the entire team quickly. If you're a fan of Earthbound, Final Fantasy 9 or 10-2, Lunar, or to a lesser degree Sega Genesis/Mega Drive era Phantasy Star 2 or 4, I recommend this game. If you prefer your RPG's to be broody or haven't seen the show it might not be the game for you. Stay away if you don't like retro graphics or comedy in your RPGs.

2D güzel bir rol yapma oyunu. Klasik For The King kafasında güzel bir oyun yani oynanabilir. Artı olarak diyalogları da çok hoş ben beğendim.
This game is...huuuh...♥♥♥♥♥♥ up. Sorry. Not because of the story or the graphics, which are expected of an RPG-Maker game, but because of the game's mechanics. I don't like the TP ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, some skills cost 25TP to activate which you can never expect to have, since you're always wasting it on something else. Enemies are just shadowy sprites for the most part, and they have super annoying debuffs, making the fights unnecessarily long, sometimes even unfair. One example is the "Grey Imp", found during Inko's shadow dream. You can find two of them in a single fight, and they have an attack that stuns everyone at the same time! Talk about getting beaten for several rounds in a row, being able to do nothing! I know, it's free, so I shouldn't complain. But there are free JRPGs like Eternal Senia, Team Four-Star and others which are cool and fun, so I just wanted to give my two cents.
A super fun retro RPG! It's may be a free game, but it is super in depth. It has a real story, great characters, awesome music and great battles to boot. Even if you don't know the show this is adapted from, you'd have a fun time playing through it. It definitely gets pretty addictive, especially as it delivers a good challenge and isn't too punishing!
I never heard of or seen the show but this game is pretty well made. I did run into a few bugs and errors but its a decent length (so far) and theres a large cast each with their own skillsets which can make for some pretty interesting strategies. After finishing version 3 I have to say, Im really glad to have finally finished this game after such a long wait for it to come out! The final part was alot easier than expected, I think it was even easier than the version 2 final boss! Felt like the enemies in floor 40-50 didnt get much stronger while the player characters were already quite powerful by the end of version 2. And final thing was that after defeating the final boss the game ended but put me back in to finish any leftover sidequests and stuff, but I had no party members and couldnt get out of the house. Hope that gets fixed soon!
Kırık bir klozet kapağını onarıp dünyayı kurtarmaya yönelik destansı arayış artık sizin elinizde! Popüler Japon komedi dizisi "The Benza" bu FTP retro JRPG'de devam ediyor!!
good if you have watched benze lol.... i haven't but if thats ur thing gud 4 u ig
A bit of backstory. The Benza is a Japanese web tv show about a couple guys wanting to replace their broken toilet seat and end up getting dragged into a crazy supernatural quest to save the world. The Benza RPG is a nice companion to the show, trapping the whole cast of characters in a video game universe. If you're familiar with the show, the humor sticks, so I recommend watching a few episodes first. Otherwise, I don't know if anything would make sense. Pros -surprisingly deep story -witty dialogue -catchy music adapted from the show -VOICE-ACTING by the cast -Inko-sensei -a fun hodgepodge of languages Cons -a lack of backstory or at least a compendium of the characters for people who haven't seen the original show -enemy designs are lacking and inconsistent -enemy encounters during puzzle segments was annoying
Awesome old-school turn based RPG
