The World of Labyrinths: Labyronia

This game is amazing!! very good storyline and gameplay

RPG Maker strikes again! The World of Labyrinths: Labyronia is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development. This RPG Maker asset flip is a painfully generic JRPG ripoff with no redeeming interest or value for gamers. The story is generic, the asset flipped characters are generic... this really is just pure shovelware. Gamers who want a good retro JRPG experience would be better off playing the originals, like Final Fantasy, Star Ocean or Chrono Trigger. Labyrinthine/Big Black Bear have a known history of trying to scam people into paying them money for someone else's work. One example of Labyrinthine/Big Black Bear doing this is [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/817150]Factory Pirates[/url], which is really asset flipped from the "[url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/historic/polygon-pirates-low-poly-3d-art-by-synty-92579]Polygon Pirates Low Poly 3D asset pack[/url]" asset, written by the actual developers, Synty Games. Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected in the general public reception. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the game only ever reached a peak player count of only 4 players. That's right, only 4. This is a pitiful enough number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam, the overwhelming lack of interest in the game is remarkable, but also to be expected. This complete and utter rejection of the game from gamers should be a keen information point for anyone considering buying shovelware like this. Gamers just didn't take this seriously, and for good reason. It's also important to note the "developer" here has connections to a number of shady Russian asset flippers and review manipulators (LTZInc, Repa Games, ImperiumGame etc) who show an organised pattern to scam and defraud gamers with fake reviews and asset flipping the work of others for profit. While reviews are about the games, gamers should be informed when developers act unethically. Whether these connections are the same developer using multiple accounts, or just working closely with other unethical developers, gamers should be warned about the harm to gamers by this developer and their associates. Buying games from unethical developers puts your money at risk. The World of Labyrinths: Labyronia is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend.

Surprisingly decent for a niche RPG, The World of Labyrinths: Labyronia offers a great blend of exploration, puzzle-solving, and strategic gameplay. Its revamped visuals and updated mechanics breathe fresh life into the original, making it the definitive way to experience the series. Fans of deep dungeon exploration and puzzle-solving will appreciate its challenging difficulty—it's rewarding to uncover the many hidden "cues" required for progression, though some can be a bit obscure​. While the game’s steep learning curve might frustrate newcomers, it's a satisfying experience for those who enjoy methodical, challenging RPGs. The community seems to agree that perseverance is key, and those who stick with it are rewarded with a highly immersive world​. However, there are some occasional bugs and minor technical hiccups, though these don't detract from the overall experience. All in all, if you enjoy old-school RPGs that challenge both your wit and your patience, Labyronia is worth a try!

This is a rather interesting old school RPG, comparable to Dragon Quest. Sadly, there is a game breaking bug in the newest version of the game...

TL:DR I would not have played this game if I did not want to finish the achievements. However, by the end I found a couple gems that made the whole experience worth it. Not enough to play the sequel but enough I have found an appreciation for this game. First and foremost I am not a fan of these types of games. I found it very tedious and irritating. The start of the game was soo bruh I just couldn't even with the game like what am I suppose to do, what are the cues, how do find things, to be honest if I didn't care about achievements I would not picked up the game again. I had soo many questions that never got answered. So I went looking for guides and while they were helpful they were also outdated, two thumbs way up! *ugh* With the help of the guides and just absolute determination I made it through this game and could finally see a little of the magic in it. The final boss fights were actually kinda fun and challenging, the place to go grind levels was clever and sooo easy to do once you found it although still tedious. While I may have complained about it and dreaded the first 15 hours of grinding to get to actual story, partially just me trying to figure it out and being bad these type of games, the end of the story kinda made it worth it. The story wrapped up and it felt complete, like a good story should, with the promise of a sequel, which is out there and third game. Then the thing that really caught my attention was getting the last achievement, Find all cues, that little surprise; I loved the way this was done. Whoever thought to that pat on the back, hand shake thank you because it made my night! Also as a side note the atmosphere of this game was enjoyable. The way the music pulled you in and in a way never got boring amazed me a few times during my play through. I guess if you like a story of good vs evil, good use of music, magic systems, turn based fighting, having to grind a little and then using strategy of your items to win the fights and solve puzzles. Oh also tons of mazes (wouldn't have thought that from the name of the game), getting lost in a vast desert of illusion, a god forsaken tundra and plenty of walking until you get the airship. Then you'll probably enjoy this game.

无趣的回合制游戏。老套的内容

i didn't really enjoy playing this. it feels very clunky to me and the graphics are just bad, more than stylized, cause besides the lower quality, it doesn't really stick to either pixel or realism or drawn or whatever the bosses are. definitely not the worst game i've played before but i cant recommend this, and the fact that its priced like this makes it a thumbs down.
