The RPG

This is a really high quality game with lots of easter eggs that skyrim fans will love!! even tho it has plenty of comedy and doesnt take its story too seriously, its still a lot of fun to play bc the gameplay and overall content are really good and addictive. The main objective is exploring dungeons, where youll gather loot, level up, buy better weapons and armor, and gradually take on deeper and more challenging dungeons until you reach the final floor and defeat the final boss to complete the campaign. besides that there's a whole open world island to explore, full of side quests to discover. Its a hidden gem that I recommend to any fan of rpgs, skyrim and dungeon exploration.

Я понимаю, что игру делал один человек, да только Suprland, с которого взят визуальный стиль (и буквально слизаны монстры), тоже делался одним человеком, так что это не аргумент. За пределами первого часа - духота и унылые квесты с беготней по одним и тем же местам. Недостаточно просто пятьдесят раз сказать "ахаха ну прям как в скайриме", чтобы стало весело

Тут уже и без меня описали всё про игру, но честно говоря за всеми этими стереотипами о других RPG скрывается забавный и местами прикольный юмор, но очень уж тут МНОООООООООООГО гринда! Вот просто НЕВЕРООООООООЯТНОЕ количество! Уже даже финал спустя 3-4 часа не особо хочется играть и за того, что у тебя тупо не хватает денег на финальную снарягу и приходится снова ГРИНДИТЬ! Даже сил не хватило её добить до конца, но сначала хотелось написать положительный отзыв. Но этот ГРИНД отбил всё желание к сожалению. И да, я понимаю, что в RPG надо гриндить, но тут это в какой-то жуткий абсолют возведено....

It's easy to learn and generally ok, but a bit basic and juvenile for my taste.

Hey man, sometimes I just wanna chill. I just want some colorful medieval fantasy SIMPLE leveling mechanics so I dont have to think too much about anything. If anything, I just wish I had a reason to go back. Seems against the point of the game, but if I had some kind of job or whatever mechanic would trigger whatever my brain chemistry is looking for I'd be happy.

Not for me.

funny little game

[h1][b] TLDR: A Skyrim parody that burns through its jokes fast and replaces them with soulless fetch quests, shallow combat, and enough crashes and bugs to sour what remains. [/b] [/h1] [h1]PROS: [/h1] ➕Funny Skyrim references/parodies ➕Lots of secrets/good exploration [h1]CONS: [/h1] ➖Graphical pop-in ➖Crash to desktop count = 5 (Including a time I lost an hour of progress in the final dungeon due to being unable to save) ➖No saving in the longest part of the game ➖Massive difficulty spike near the end ➖Bugs [h1] [b] Content (Game world/Narrative) – [6/10] [/b] [/h1] The game world is set in a cartoony kingdom chocked full of Skyrim references. This is a full-on parody with many guards having arrows sticking out of their knees. It's a first-person perspective game with some good exploration. There’s lots of secrets and areas to explore. Sticking with the Skyrim theme, there’s definitely an open-world element but the map is maybe 1/10th the size of Skyrim. The story revolves around being an adventurer in this land. You complete quests for various different NPCs and eventually have a path to choose for one of two (or both) different endings. The narrative isn’t deep and being a parody game doesn’t take itself seriously. I felt the story was simply average - not good or bad. [h1][b] Gameplay (Mechanics/Difficulty) – [5/10] [/b] [/h1] The gameplay loop revolves around completing quests to progress the main story. The quests consist of mostly fetch and kill quests, nothing very deep. There is small progression in the form of upgrades to your sword, armor, and gun. Progression is tied to gold as a currency where you mostly collect “Loot” and convert the loot at vendors to gold at a rate of something like 20 loot -> 1 gold. There’s also a small sort of talent tree where you gain 3 points on leveling up and choose between ~10 different stats. The combat is a very simple attack or charge attack, block, shoot gun, and breath attack with like 5 different breaths. Considering the breath has a 60-second cooldown and the gun typically does poor damage and costs ammo, you’ll typically be just attacking and blocking the majority of your time. This gets rather boring after a few hours as the game desperately needs some sort of ability. The difficulty has a weird curve. 90% of the game is so easy that I never needed to heal, then the last 10% instantly becomes so difficult that you become 1 or 2-shot constantly. Definitely not a fan of the cliff-increasing difficulty as it can make the player think they are doing something wrong/missed something. The hardest parts of the game are in the dungeon areas, where there’s conveniently no saving allowed. Combine that with the crashes and it's quite easy to lead to loss of progress. [h1] [b] Technical (Graphics/Performance) – [3/10] [/b] [/h1] The graphics are okay, and continues the theme of the game being simple. I’d say this is around PS2-era fidelity. The troubling part comes from the performance issues. Not only did I experience multiple crashes, but performance dipped with a lot of on-screen action with enemies, which tells me the game is unoptimized due to its low fidelity. Furthermore, there’s also excessive pop-in of assets that are shockingly close to the player and become very noticeable, not only world elements like trees and collectibles, but enemies too. There’s also a lot of bugs. Nothing game breaking, but very frequently loot and enemies clipping through walls/dropping through the floor, NPCs breaking when after being attacked, many (intended?) misspells in NPC dialogue, there’s a ton of bugs here. 1440p @ 240hz | installed on SSD [h1] [b] Audio – [5/10] [/b] [/h1] There’s nothing special about the music or sound effects. There’s no voice acting, just different pitches of beep-boops. [h1] [b] Replay Factor (Longevity) – [3/10] [/b] [/h1] Considering it’s somewhat of an open world game, the replay value is actually low here. There’s not that many questions and they are all very linear. The only choice the player can make is the endings. There’s not much reason to ever replay other than achievements or if you liked the game. [h1] [b] Final Verdict – [4/10] [/b] [/h1] The RPG is not THE RPG it wants you to think it is. It’s a first-person action game that banks a bit heavily on its Skyrim parody without offering anything that made Skyrim so great. The exploration, the story, the character progression, the mechanics, and player choices, are all either simplified to the point of Fisher Price level of “My first RPG”, or just simply not even available. Even on the side of it being a parody, it somehow manages to completely throw away the humor aspects very quickly into the game, leaving a rather mundane and shallow fetch-quest-athon in its wake. I know it sounds like I ripped it apart up there, and it kinda did, but The RPG is not a terrible game. In fact, I would say if it wasn’t for the plethora of technical issues I experienced, it would be a solid recommendation for an RPG that’s a little off-beat. In closing, I want to focus a bit on the core of the game, technical problems aside. First, the writing/humor. I expected much more of a comedic game given how it looks, the infamous meme opening, and the constant Skyrim references. I really wish it kept those going, but the novelty wears off quickly and isn’t really brought up again by the NPCs. Second, the RPG mechanics were a bit of a letdown and overly simplified. The combat gets painstakingly boring at the end when enemies health becomes crazy high and each combat encounter is just minutes of attacking and blocking (because they are conveniently immune to your only other ability - the breath attack). Lastly, the quests. The quests are the lowest tier of quests, being mostly fetch quest with little-to-none of the humor taken advantage of with the parody setting. There could have been some great opportunities for more Skyrim quest references, but apart from the handful of quests, the remaining ones are just soulless fetch/kills. Overall, if I experienced no bugs or technical problems, I would probably give The RPG a 5 or 6 out of 10 and a recommendation. Since the technical parts really soured the already average experience, I can’t recommend this game. [h1] [b] Recommend? (Price) [Y/N] [/b] [/h1] [h1]No[/h1] $15 base price is a bit steep for a story that can be completed in under 3 hours if rushing. I 100% the game and it took me under 10 hours. If you are interested in this game, I’d suggest waiting for a sale a bit below the $10 price point. You can find my curator page here: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Synik_GR

《The RPG》是一款非常有趣的开放世界ARPG游戏，里面有很多元素致敬了《上古卷轴》，比如开场动画，膝盖中了一箭，还有b社特有的狂热粉丝伴随主角；游戏的画风和搞怪风格又有点像第一人称的“憎恶之西”，非常无厘头。总体来说，游戏体验确实不错，能让人享受一段开怀大笑的奇幻冒险 游戏开局很有趣，主角刚开始也是在一架马车上，那个熟悉的运镜一眼就能看出来致敬老滚5，然后就遇到游戏的标志性角色“故障龙”，它弄回了桥梁，车上的所有人都跌入了悬崖。醒来后，主角发现自己被救了回来，但是自己需要拿到王国的证明才能出去，但没有证明我们不能走出这个问询室去王国城堡申请证明，在这种一根筋两头堵的情景下，主角只能钻狗洞开始自己的冒险旅程。 游戏玩法很简单，游戏的主线会有提示，支线任务需要你找NPC交谈解锁，比如去酒吧会看到酒馆老板头上带个木桶取不下来，我们趁机先转一圈，会在需要二段跳才能到达的平台上发现那个小偷，老板让我们找铁匠拿工具取下他的木桶，这个就是对应的支线任务；后面还有一个房间，里面的NPC被“故障龙”袭击了，身体被卡进柜子里了，让我们帮忙给他救出来，这个是进到房间自动触发的支线任务。 战斗方面没有难度，敌人的攻击频率很低，有明显前摇，我方还有个粉丝小弟，可以帮我们打架，而且我们还有技能可以冰冻敌人，打起来非常轻松，不用担心粉丝小弟会不会死亡，血量清空之后过一段时间会自己醒来，没有路的地方他会直接瞬移或者从其他地方跟着过来。游戏里能拾取的物品好像很多，但其实都会自动转化为战利品，这游戏除了几种道具和重要物品以及装备，其余都是按照战利品单位进行统计的，去市场可以将战利品转化为金币。市场旁边还有个抵制售卖武器的家伙，发表一堆特别搞笑的演讲。 地图的话不算特别大，野怪种类也不多，不过还好在野外都比较好刷，NPC给的刷怪的任务也会给你讲明地点。比较远的地方一般有两种传送方式，一种是用传送原石激活的传送门，都会定位到新手村庄之外的固定地方；另一个是投石机传送法，可以实现远距离飞行，玩过一些moba游戏的应该了解这个传送方式。所以在路上花费的时间不算多，主要还是为了接支线与每个NPC都要尝试对话。 总体来书，《THE RPG》的游戏体量不大，但玩法很丰富，剧情也有点无厘头的恶搞感，体验起来非常轻松愉快，而且战胜敌人还有非常强的成就感，非常建议玩过老滚5之类的开放世界游戏玩家可以体验一下这款风格比较另类的有趣作品。 [quote]关注鉴赏组：[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45134494]浮生评测[/url] ←"浮生若梦，一鉴倾心，邀您共赏人间烟火" 加入Steam组：[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/LLFLLFF]浮生评测[/url]←“一起追寻'浮生若梦'般的游戏体验” 开始“浮生若梦”鉴赏组的奇幻之旅！[/quote]

So this is one of the more creative works on Steam. It kinda pokes fun at certain video game trops, especially those in (You guessed it) RPGs. Especially Skyrim, as you would presum seeing the game's images. Gameplay-wise, it's worth exactly one playthrough, but none more. So I'd argue that buying it on sale is the way to go.
