The Spirit Master of Retarnia -Conqueror of the Labyrinth-

The Spirit Master of Retarnia -Conqueror of the Labyrinth- is one part filibuster and one part hack job asset flip with a few slivers of original content to try and amass the amalgamation of the final product into something resembling a playable game. At its core, Spirit Master is a first-person grid-based dungeon crawler in the style of Etrian Odyssey with about a tenth of the talent and none of the art design. Battles are fought in first-person with everyone queuing up their actions before the round starts and hitting one another once it begins. Despite a myriad of status effects and enemy types within the game, none of these normal combats ever managed to become remotely interesting, and once your team starts snowballing in power, very few of them will even last beyond the first round. The combat also lacks a lot of quality of life features that one might expect from a game in this genre, such as a lack of an auto-attack feature or cursor memory, and instead of a 'target' cursor, the game awkwardly zooms in on the enemy you're selecting. It also tends to lag quite a bit, especially when the game has to load in large 'action' menus for particular characters. That said, it's usually customary to give games like these a soft pass on their 'gameplay' since the thing most everyone is interested in are the girls, the H-scenes, and maybe the story at a stretch. Unfortunately, all of those aspects have their own problems. Everything that isn't directly related to the girls in the game is taken from other sources, which leaves a lot of the artwork looking awkward, out of place, or stylistically jarring. The dungeons get it the worst, making your field of view in the first-person camera extremely limited with darkness obscuring nearly everything that isn't right in front of you. The girls themselves fit the usual tropes one would expect from a game like this. Big-chested glasses wearing smart type, pure and innocent princess type, tomboy fighter type, seductive goth type, and 'legal-age' loli type. With few exceptions, their character beats fit their tropes and their relationship paths are exactly what you'd expect from them, such as the young legal-loli type constantly referring to you as 'big brother' and the tomboy being interested in extreme physical activity. On the flip side of the artwork, there are also 'defeat' scenes when you lose to particular boss monsters in the labyrinth. The game makes no secret that there are non-consensual sex scenes that occur when you lose, though they do tend to hide the fact that all of them basically end with a brutal death of some kind, while also taking pains to explain what nasty death occurred to the main protagonist and his companions. In no particular order, these scenes include things such as being ripped in half and eaten, stabbed repeatedly and left to bleed out slowly, digested in acidic slime, torn limb from limb, beheading, and being mind-raped by a mind flayer to the point where the brain explodes inside the skull. The tolerance for these sorts of scenes is going to vary from person to person, but the 'dark and edgy' feeling that they strive for feels as fake and manufactured as the girls personality types, and the style of the scenes are a very sharp contrast to the tone the rest of the scenes set. Thankfully, all of them are entirely avoidable, though the game will drop off the replays in your 'gallery' when you beat the bosses too. The story is probably the least offensive part of this game. It's a simple revenge tale with at least one twist that can come as a mild surprise, but veers off the deep end into nonsensical crazy-person territory right near the finish, and the motivation of the primary evil never manages to coalesce into something sensible. Revenge gets discarded for megalomania and the conclusion to the villain's arc ends with a weak sputter. So, were there any redeeming qualities about this game? Only a few. Leonard is one of them. He's irritating at first because he's a faceless protagonist who doesn't even have a character portrait, but they do some unique things mechanically with his character. He doesn't have combat abilities, but rather is a 'support' type whose abilities are all about building relationships with his team members, getting better prices at shops, and doing utilitarian things like portaling out of the dungeon or increasing/decreasing the encounter rate. He can't equip the best gear in the game and is inferior to the spirits that he summons to fight on his behalf, and that fits the 'everyman trying to do the best he can' niche nicely. The combat abilities he learns come solely from his bonds with the spirits he summons. Build your relationship with one and you start to learn their abilities and you can level those up alongside your support ones. He never becomes anything more than an inferior version of the spirit he's 'learning' from, but it's an interesting idea and could have been fun to explore further if the game had bothered. The artwork of the characters and the H-scenes themselves are also not terrible. The girls are well drawn, and outside of the monster scenes there are some tasteful 'romantic encounters', but even there they reuse some of the scenes with slightly adjusted narrative and dialogue, and there isn't really an 'epilogue' to the relationship path with any girl so much as there is an abrupt end tacked on at the game's completion. In conclusion, this game is not worth your time or your money. It's a slog to get through, the level design makes every dungeon a tedious crawl, and while there are a handful of decent H-scenes, it's not worth putting up with the gameplay to unlock them all.

Before we begin, I wish I could click a "Maybe" button on whether I recommend this game or not. Also, at the time of writing, I have completed the game once, and am midway through Nightmare Mode. Anyway, here's the review. [h1][b]The Spirit Master of Retarnia - Labyrinth of Memory Leaks[/b][/h1] The Spirit Master of Retarnia is a First-person, dungeon crawling RPG where you take control of Leonard, a generic, faceless Chickentai protagonist who leads a group of [strike]women[/strike] spirits into(not-so)perilous dungeons with the task of sealing portals to stop demons from invading Retarnia. That's it, really. [b]Absolutely nothing about this game stands out[/b]. That being said, Spirit Master of Retarnia isn't bad, but it isn't good, either. It's strictly "okay". The story isn't anything to write home about-- it's as generic as they come, and the plot twist isn't surprising at all. Everything about this game is painfully generic. However, one thing about this game that stands out are the bad ends. Most H-RPGs or RPGs in general refrain from describing the fate of your party upon a wipe, and instead take you to a game over screen, where you either get sent back to the title screen, or can select to load a save, or retry the last battle. This game describes what happens to the party, while showing some "cave exploration", if you catch my drift. Aside from that, The Spirit Master of Retarnia is a game I can't exactly recommend postively or negatively. This game also suffers from horrible memory leaks. About one hour of playing, and it'll be consuming twice as much memory as it did when it opened, and it starts to stutter. A quick restart of the game will fix this issue, but it's still annoying to deal with. Make sure to save often. [h1][b]GAME PROGRESSION AND MECHANICS[/b][/h1] The game's progression is extremely simple. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is up to the player's discretion. This is basically what the player does in between Dungeon Excursions: [list][b]General Progression[/b] [*]1) Check market for presents, purchase, and give to spirits(optional) [*]2) Check Plaza for Suspicious Man. If he is present, spend money on Yellow or Orange-grade items, based on money earned in dungeon excursions. [*]3) Visit Smithy to repair gear, appraise gear found in dungeons or purchased at the Suspicious Man, disassemble gear, or enhance gear. [*]4) Enter Dungeon and grind or proceed down floors. Farm monsters until inventory is half filled, or completely filled, or if party is low on health. [*]5) Return to town [*]6) Rinse-repeat [*]OPTIONAL: If a spirit has reached an appropriate affection level, a cutscene will play out back in town if the player chooses. [/list] There isn't a whole lot to do in this game, and once the player starts stacking "Deal Additional Fire/Ice/Lightning Damage upon attacking", damage quickly snowballs, and the party becomes an unstoppable force. It's literally impossible to get a game over in this game until Nightmare/Hell mode, where monster HP is so bloated that status ailments are what wins battles. Upon beating the final boss, the game immediately throws the player into New Game+, allowing the player to play through the game on a higher(or lower) difficulty. Increasing the difficulty allows the player to obtain stronger equipment than the previous difficulty, and the Status Values of monsters are much higher than they were before. An example of the stat increase is between Normal to Nightmare, a first-floor Goblin has 30 HP on Normal, and 300 HP on Nightmare. The game also lacks three distinct features that other games of similar construct have, such as Auto Battling, Cursor memory, and Dungeon Hotkeys (for things like encounter reduction), so the game is rather... primitive. [h1][b]MUSIC AND SOUND[/b][/h1] Not much to say here, Everything is practically commonly-provided assets, with the exclusion of the Spirits. I don't know how it is for some people, but I got annoyed by the voices at some point, so I muted voices. The soundtrack isn't memorable, and the SFX are all royalty-free stuff anyone can get online. [h1][b]VISUALS/GRAPHICS[/b][/h1] I'm not one who usually cares about graphics, but Spirit Master of Retarnia suffers from a severe case of "EVERYTHING BUT THE CHARACTER ART LOOKS LIKE HOT GARBAGE!!!". Not much else to say here, either... [h1][b]MY PERSONAL ENJOYMENT[/b][/h1] Honestly, the only reason i've dumped more than five hours on this game is because I have a soft spot for dungeon crawlers. I've played a lot of them, namely the entirety of Etrian Series(starting in 2006). [h1][b]THE "H" CONTENT[/b][/h1] Alright, so this is the part that most people who read this review will probably care about. Let's just say it's tame. The "H" Content includes things such as: [spoiler]Paizuri, Nakadashi, Footsies, "Group play", Cowgirl,[/spoiler] and other such common tags. Nothing special, but at least the art is okay. [h1][b]OVERALL VERDICT[/b][/h1] [h1]4/10, Skip this unless it's on sale for 50% or more.[/h1] Paying $15 for this mediocrity is insulting, and unless you are a dungeon crawler fan like I am, don't bother with this game. If you're looking for a quick fap, just go to "the hub", if you know what I mean. I will be playing more after writing this review, as i'd like to see the game's difficulty on Hell Mode, which is the hardest difficulty. Aside from that, there is nothing left to be said about this "game". And yes, I do play Chickentai Games seriously.

As I've finished Idea Factory's Moero Chronicle long ago, I was in a desperate search of galge dungeon crawler, as I've come across this game. Technically, this game matches the description. This is indeed a dungeon crawler with 5 girl characters, which you build your relations with, and as you do, you could eventually become intimate with one of the girls. However, the implementation is rather poor. While the combat system appears fine with a first glance, it is balanced poorly, and as you progress, you extremely quickly move toward 'conserve mp' tactics. You would avoid using any skills unless your girl is equipped with a mana-recovery stuff, and even then you would prefer physical attacks. One of your girls skill tree is even focused on using normal attacks instead of skills. Which brings us to the second issues, skills. There is a skill tree, and most skills have several levels, usually, 10. However, the leveling is not balanced to the scale of number of skillpoints you need, and eventually I ended up leveling just passive skills. Not to say you couldn't win without using skills, in fact, I was perfectly fine. As for the relation component of the game, you build up intimacy with character through random events, which are divided in two parts - randomly falling on a girl's breast in a dungeon, and some meaningful interaction in a town. However, there are only one of each scene for an intimacy level, and as you need to encounter them several times before intimacy levels up, these scenes quickly become repetitive. You would unlock hentai content, by reaching certain intimacy level (one scene), and by losing battles. There are more hentai scenes if you mess up then if you do things right, which is quite meaningless for me. I mean, you need to have a very special set of mind if you want to watch a girl you somewhat care about being raped and killed afterward. There is a token plot, which tells us that monster portals appear in the country, and you move into portals to progressively fight an evil and destroy its root. There are 5 girl characters, one available from the start, 3 more unlocked after the second portal, and the last one unlocked after the third portal - a tank, damage dealer, support caster, healer and a mage. Characters are associated with different elements and given very good distinctive personality and are probably the best part of the game. Voice acting really varies, with Vesta and Melissa, playable characters, being the best, and Sylvia, the NPC which send you on your mission, being the worst (and annoying). The problem with the game is not that it didn't meet my expectation set rather high after Moero, but that it doesn't really have any value or fun. There is not much character development for girls, non-rape hentai scenes are unlocked very early on, the plot is not really deep to keep you going on, and the combat is rather repetitive.

The Spirit Master of Retarnia is a retro dungeon-crawler RPG hentai game that I enjoyed to a point but can't recommend. First, it will appeal to a rather limited audience and even to that audience, it is a bit bland. The real weak point of this game is the dungeon crawling. The environments are bland and empty and there is nothing to do in there but to map the place. In any given area, everything looks the same, just an arrangement of square tiles that forms rooms and corridors. Apart from combat, there's no challenge and no reward in exploring those places. Combat is ok, but too little variety of enemies means it gets repetitive and so the combat is acceptable in itself, but it fails to carry the empty dungeon crawling. So with all that in mind, I can`t recommend the game even though it some qualities that may make it interesting to some people. The sex scenes, which are not censored, between the protagonist and his allies are cute and loving. I tend to prefer non-consensual sex but despite being not quite my thing, I genuinely enjoyed them. The variety of available romance options is nice. There is non-con sex scenes for failing to beat a boss and they're unlocked in the gallery if you beat the boss so you dont have to do the "lose the first time then win the second" to see everything. And yet I watched only the first one because it turned too violent, leaving a victim *dead*. We dont get to see the horror graphically, but you get a textual representation. I suspect the others end just as violently. The story is ok but totally linear, you have no control on it. As I was prgressing through the story, I started catching whiffs of an upcoming plot twist. I had a few hypotheses of what the reveal would be like but no certainty. One of my hypothesis turned out right but I still had the surprised of "oh, so it's that one and not that other one". So, if you aren't a fan of retro dungeon-crawling RPG hentai games, there really is nothing for you in this game. If you are into such a thing, the question is, are you starved for such a title? Because while it's not awful, it's not so good either.

[h1] 하렘+ 던전탐험 + 엣찌가 섞인 RPG형 에로게 [/h1] The Spirit Master of Retarnia는 루나소프트에서 2017년 일본에서 발매한 RPG 에로게입니다. 루나소프트 작품 특성상 탐험이나 던전형 RPG가 많으며, 게임형식도 던전RPG아니면, 전략 SLG게임이 많습니다. 스팀판 경우 망가게이머에서 배급을 했으며, 이 배급사는 쓰르라미나 괭이갈매기 울적에를 제외하고는 영어판만 내놓더군요. 일본어 버전도 같이 내놨으면 좋겠는데 말이죠. 아직까지 스팀에서 출시한 게임은 이거 하나 뿐이며, 개인적으로 평가가 좀 애매하다고 생각합니다. 스토리도 흔하고 게임성자체도 그렇게 좋다고 볼 수는 없다고 느껴집니다. 게임의 스토리는 정령사의 후예이고 대장간에서 일을 하던 레오너드가 여왕의 부름을 받아 왕국을 구하기 위해 정령석에서 정령들을 차례대로 소환시켜 팀을 만들고 열린 포탈을 들어가 마물들을 무찌른다는 흔한 이야기로 도중에 호감도를 올려서 정령들한테 야한짓을 받거나 전투중에 정령들이 체력이 떨어지면 옷이 찢어지고, 마물들한테 패하면 강X을 당하는 에로게로써의 모습도 보여줍니다. 게임성은 던전탐험을 하면서 점점 깊은 곳으로 들어가 보스를 무찌르는 것인데, 많이 단순합니다. 특별한 요소가 없고 일방적으로 길을 찾는 게임이며, 몬스터들의 작화 상태는 괜찮지만 다양하지도 않고 이런 에로게의 꽃인 여성형 몬스터들도 존재하지 않습니다. (보스제외) 스킬트리가 어느정도 다양하게 구사를 해놨지만, 그 정령과 템에 맞는 트리만 올리며, 결국 사용하는 것만 사용하게 됩니다. 탐험역시도 지루하게 비슷한 맵을 계속 걷는 느낌이며, 세이브를 자주해야지 게임오버를 피할 수 있습니다. (보스는 빨간색으로 표시가 될때도 있지만, 정말 갑툭튀로 나올때도 많습니다.) 게임플레이도 10~20시간으로 뭐 모든 업적을 달성하는게 목표라면 시간이 더 많이 걸리겠지요. 가장 중요한 CG입니다. 일단 호감도 시스템으로 정령들의 호감도를 높혀서 야한CG를 모으는 건 괜찮다고 생각하지만, 한 캐릭터의 호감도가 4를 달성하면, 다른 캐릭터의 호감도를 올려도 CG가 나오지 않습니다. (호감도를 올려서 주인공이 스킬은 습득합니다.) 결국 이전에 세이브를 자주 하지 않거나 덮혀쓰기를 했다면, 처음부터 다시해야 되는 불상사가 생기며 CG를 모으기 위해서는 한명씩 호감도4~5를 찍고 다시 불러오기를 통해 3으로 되돌려야 된다는 소리입니다. 이것은 개발자가 아주 큰 실수를 한 것 같네요. 뭐 이러한 게임에서 일편단심 한사람만 볼 수 있지만, 이 게임을 하는 플레이어들이 한명만 좋아하겠습니까? 루나소프트사의 가장 신작은 매직 앤 슬래쉬로 작년 7월말에 나온 게임입니다. 동인게임에서 그렇게 나쁘지 않는 성적을 보여주고는 있지만, 해외에서의 판매량은 이 게임만 봤을때 그렇게 대박을 터트린것이 아니라서 다음 작품이 스팀에 나올지는 의문이네요.

Despite having a story, this is very much a dungeon-crawler style RPG. Despite being a serious dungeon crawler, it seems the target audience is not fans of dungeon crawlers, but rather fans of ecchi games who may not have much experience with dungeon crawlers. I say this because it REALLY tries to ease you into the experience. During the game's intro, we're presented with the story, as well as a guided tour of each area of town, with tutorials about what you can do in town. This is skippable, but we're not told how to skip through until after the story parts of the intro (which seems reasonable). There are 4 difficulties, but initially we only have access to 2: easy and normal. We're basically told we'll have 6 characters, but to start with, we only have 2... the main character, who specializes in improving the party's growth in various ways, and the white spirit, who is the tank. Why start with the tank? Because if the main character dies, it's game over, so the tank has her first skill point pre-allocated into a taunt skill, and we're told to have her use it to protect the main character. But, even on normal difficulty, the most common enemy on the first floor of the dungeon is so easy that if both characters just attack, it'll usually die before it can do anything. It REALLY seems like they're trying to ease people into the experience. This is the first time I've ever wanted to write a review for a game without giving a recommendation. I don't think it's a bad game, per se, and it might even be a good gateway drug to get fans of ecchi games to try out dedicated dungeon crawlers like the Etrian Odyssey series, but at least from my perspective as a veteran dungeon crawl player, the experience of playing this game, at least initally, feels somewhat... lacking. I kind of want to keep playing to see what interesting strategic and tactical decisions become available once more characters are unlocked and when the enemies (hopefully) start to present more serious and varied threats, but as it is now, I'm just not enjoying the experience enough to feel motivated to continue. It would be easier to accept the lack of tactical challenge in the early game if there were more ecchi content to spice it up, but despite the girls being cute, I haven't seen a single exciting ecchi image, even after encountering a random ecchi event in the dungeon. On top of that, the dungeon itself so far is just drab, grey stone... which may be great in terms of realism, but doesn't make the exprience of exploring it any more interesting. I feel like the developers got pretty close to crafting an engaging experience, but didn't quite manage to get there. Maybe if there's a future update that adds a bit more art content, I'll be able to enjoy the game enough to feel comfortable recommending it, but as it stands now, I just can't.

처음에 야겜인지 모르고 샀습니다. 아틀리에 시리즈 사려다가 할인 끝나서 이 겜 할인하길래 한번 사봤습니다. (가리는 부분 없이 다 나오니까 감안하시고 사실 분은 사세요. 저는 환불 안 했습니다.) 전통 3D RPG 라고 설명하고 있는데 전통은 맞는 거 같은데 3D는 아닌 거 같습니다. 근데 전통이라고 했지 온고지신의 마음으로 전통으 좋은 점만 가져왔다는 뜻은 아닙니다. 불편한 UI, 게임 시스템을 전통이라는 이름으로 감추고 있다는 느낌입니다. 아티템 정렬이 없고 디아블로와 같은 RPG 게임 인벤토리 창처럼 되어 있습니다. 파티원 자동공격 턴종료 기능도 없습니다. 이거 꽤 짜증납니다. 던젼 RPG라는 장르의 특성상 딱히 게임성에서 뭔가 바라기는 힘듭니다. 물론 '르프란의 지하미궁과 마녀의 여단'과 같은 잘 만들어진 수작도 있으나 이 게임은 그정도 급은 되기 힘들어 보입니다. 하지만 야겜으로 생각한다면 잘 만들어진 게임이라고 할 수 있습니다. !!!!!! 보스전에서 이겨도 CG수집이 가능합니다. 일부러 질 필요가 없습니다. 한 캐릭의 호감도가 레벨4가 되면 다르 캐릭은 호감도 레벨을 4로 올릴 수 없습니다. 조심하세요! 세이브를 해 놓고 각각의 정령들의 호감도를 레벨4 -> 레벨5까지 올리고 다시 로드하는 식으로 CG를 모읍시다. 텔레포탈 직전에 보스를 배치하는 악랄한 짓을 해놓은 게임입니다. 세이브를 자주하시고 어차피 죽어도 돈 절반 버리고 이어할 수 있으니 걱정하지 맙시다. 대화는 컨트롤 키를 누르면 빠르게 스킵 가능합니다. (중요) 전투 중에 마우스 오른쪽을 누르고 있으면 전투가 빠르게 진행됩니다. !!!!!! 음성은 일본어 자막은 영어로 되어있는 이유는 잘 모르겠습니다. 이런 류의 게임들이 특히 이러한 경우가 많은데 무슨 졎같은 경우인지 잘 모르겠습니다. 영어 자체가 그리 어렵지는 않으니 기본교육을 충실히 이행한 분들은 진행하는 데에 어려움이 없을 것 입니다. 어차피 H씬에서 활자는 거들 뿐입니다. 스토리가 같은 루나소프트 게임들과 이어지는 부분이 있거나 공유하는 부분이 있어 보이는데 스팀에 올라온 것은 이 게임뿐 인 듯 합니다. 볼륨이 탄탄한 편은 아닙니다. 20시간 정도 했는데 (그것도 아주 느긋하게 자막 다 보고, 맵 다 둘러보고, 강화도 다 해보고) 거의 스토리의 막바지에 도착했습니다. 할거 다 하고 30시간이면 클리어 할 듯 합니다. 물론 컴플리트까지는 더 오래 걸릴 것 같으나 그렇게 까지 할 게임으로 보이지는 않습니다. (스팀 도전과제는 없으니 게임 내에 업적란이 있습니다.) 이 게임은 매우 어중간한 게임입니다. 하지만 가격을 보면 그게 이해가 가지 않는 것도 아닙니다. 스킬트리를 찍는 즐거움은 있으나 그 내용이 매우 빈약합니다. 던젼맵은 그냥 돌아다니는 것이 끝이고 발생하는 이벤트도 단 하나밖에 없습니다. 거점에서 할 수 있는 것이 매우 적습니다. (서브퀘가 없다는 말이죠) 게임을 만들다가 만 듯한 느낌이 강합니다. 아니 아쉬운 부분이 많다고 할 수 있습니다. 게임성 바라보시고 하실 거면 이겜 하지 맙시다. (마녀의 여단 하세요.) 하지만 가볍게 성인물적인 요소도 좀 있으면 좋고 하시는 분은 가격도 비싸지 않으니 해보는 것도 나쁘지 않습니다.

I am having trouble deciding on whether I like it or not. On one hand, it tries to be a decent, if basic, dungeon crawler and rpg with a bit of plot. However it also kind of fails on both points due to the same problem; your faceless self insert. I understand that part of the appeal of this psuedo dating sim thing is to get to pretend to be the protagonist, but the game doesn't even let you name the thing. He is both important enough that him alone being defeated in combat is enough to trigger a loss, but not important enough to have more than a literal black silhouette. They also gave him lines. Really generic lines. So he's basically a mushy, faceless, and null-personality stand-in that actually detracts from the goal of letting the player insert themselves into the story because you're stuck managing him as well as the other party members. Except they get art and a personality. Something as simple as not having him directly involved in combat would make a world of difference. But then maybe the developers wanted to actually have a character in place and then figured that players would rather someone they could roleplay. If only he didn't feel like a flavorless ghost of a character whos existence was just a hamfisted attempt to direct the girl's attention somewhere specific. So yeah, I don't really know. I'm already not a fan of the kinda-sorta VN games but frankly I need a bit more, uh, maturity in my rpgs lately. Hopefully the dev's refine their approach because they are obviously at least decent at making these. Maybe it's the difference between the American and Japanese market, but please make up your minds on whether to have a player-insert or a specifc character that the story focuses on. Trying to mix them together is not working.

[strike]Two hours in, what I've seen so far is pretty good. It's a genuinely fun game with some neat features. Characters are likeable (particualrly the Queen), voice acting is good, art is wonderful, girls are diverse (and mercifully un-♥♥♥♥♥♥, which is weirdly rare in these games). The only issue I've encountered so far is loading times. Specifically the menu's loading time. It takes about 8 or 9 seconds for the menu to load. That's not good. This is the main menu we're talking about. Leveled up and need to allocate your new skill point? Nine second wait. Need to use an item? Nine second wait. Need to check the map? Nine second wait. Need to save or load your game? Nine second wait. Need to fiddle with the options? Nine second wait. Upgrading your gear in town? Oh boy. Prepare to spend a collective a minute or longer just staring at a black screen. And that's assuming you're very efficient and don't make any mistakes or forget anything.[/strike] Yeah, so after three months there hasn't been even any acknowledgement of the game's issues (inexcusably long load times, memory leaks, broken functions, etc), much less anything done about them. Just advertisements for the next thing they push out. Time to change my recommendation, I suppose. I should have known better than to give a developer the benefit of the doubt. Now if only I could get my money back..

Wow. what a garbage. I was not expecting much, but eventually got curious, and just decided to risk it (I suspect I had just that one beer too much ..), after all it is was not tagged rpgMaker- an universal sign for cheap trashy ahem-rpg games (With few honorable exceptions). Unfortulately this is exactle what you are given. Sure - somehow modded version but once you start the "game" you notice the typical things: The "intro" which is basically a static set of pictures + sounds + a text, that is unrolled signle sentence after sentence in the rectangle below the main screen. Of course you have to click after every damn line. In fact before you get to any kind of a game you are FORCED to endure this torture. You can skip it, as there is nothing really interesting or even necessary to know there. Except that you cannot. So you have to click and click and click and click and hope the torture ends. And when the "scenery" changes, to underline the effect ( You know, in case you are somehow slow and have not caught that the whole background picture changes from "Palace" to "blacksmith shop") the textbox is updated with ... followed by ...... and then followed by ........., yes - you guessed it, requires you to click for each of those dots sets. I forced myself to follow the story, but in practice I recommend using a mouse with programmable buttons so that it clicks through the text, while you can do something more enyojable - like - maybe banging your head agains a wall perhaps? At this point I only feel sorry for the poor 13-year old that was forced by the makers of the game into writing up the story. Please, say no to child labour!!! So at least I can confirm that this indeed does not need "Rich story" tag. Unfortunately enduring the intro/story whatever and getting into the real game-play, was a completely wasted effort. And Traditional 3D RPG? Ech ? really? Maybe compared with the original eye of the beholder game from 1990. Except that at least had moving monsters, and animations for combat. And what is up with that Leonard character? Ran out of funds to provide anything except a shadow outline?
