The Deal

cards low price (steam level up)

It's been a while since I played a game published by Aldorlea Games. They have a bad habit of putting out games that look nice but lack substance and polish. There are a few exceptions... and this is one of them! While this game takes me back to early 2010s, when RPGMaker was starting to become a big thing, and new indie developers were starting to realize that their games could make money, it feels like it goes a step above that. There is a distinct lack of "finish" on this game, but it is almost endearing rather than detrimental. There is a lot to do, but the world is compact, so backtracking does not feel punishing. The story isn't entirely spoon fed to you, and many of the story's finer points are told through exploration. The overall feel DOES fall into the freeware RPGMaker games you can find a lot of places. The music and over assets all come from the standard RPGMaker asset bundles. However, the developer makes the most of the limited tools they have available. I will admit that the music gets... irritating after a while. There about 10 total songs that are used, and half of them are used several different times, just at a different tempo. Some come off alright, others... less so. There are also some grammatical errors, but they are minor and not emersion breaking. The tone shifts a lot between very serious and completely silly. This shift CAN be a bit jarring at times. Still, there are times where it lands well enough to not be too distracting. While the overall game is fairly small, exploration is KING! If you have an opportunity to go someplace you haven't been before, take it. Chances are, there is something there that will give at least one party member a substantial boost. Most found items are worth finding as well, considering money is VERY hard to come by, and grinding is very limited, especially early on. There are a few things, too, that feel like there was something planned, but the dev decided to scrap the item. None of them make the game broken, but fleshing out a few more side quests would have been fun. Lastly, the concept of the "Treasure Chest" item is completely busted... Since you can save-scum it, opening them was the only real grinding I did. Once I had about 10 of them, I save-scummed until I had some of the best equipment available at about the half way point. The items offered also seemed heavily skewed toward the magic users. There are a few swords (and the ultimate hammer), but the best stuff in there was definitely tilted toward the mages. Overall, like so many others have said, this game IS criminally under-reviewed and under-played. Considering it came out almost a decade ago, there should be FAR more reviews. The price point is about right for the playtime (mine is skewed because I left it on over night, adding 12 or more hours), and every minute is jam packed with things to do. I rarely say this, but buying this at full price is a steal! If you like old school JRPGs with tons of side quests, this game is for you.

what the hell

Great game , MORE please

Charming game. If you like old school rpgs then you'll probably like this one. It took a little over 20 hours, so a fun romp. The story is a little linear but their are plenty of quests and a few hidden portals to find. No grinding which was nice too.
