Unrested Development

I did not expect it to have a story with wisecracks and all. That was a nice surprise. There are some pretty funny parts in there. It's not just grinding and leveling. I feel like I'm working to see how the story goes. A lot of games like this don't have much story, just quests. This is one big quest, like a story plot.

Only into the first map of the game, but already the story is engaging and the battles are fun. Very reminescent of the early final fantasy games... like 3 or 4. The names of the monsters make me laugh, the cat girl is awesome, and Jacob is snarky. The battles come up a little more often than I'd like, but that's just me. It was not too long, but I grind my way through everything... explore, explore, explore. So a boss rush, yes, but that's not my play style. After one of the build updates, I played again and the battles were much more balanced-- better weapons for the catgirl make her attacks much more powerful, but you don't get the better stuff without exploring. I still can't wait for Suki's story.

(Got this game for free as a part of a developer's submission to SteadyGiveaways. Thanks!) [h1]Yeah...it seems more like an "Untested Development"...[/h1] Another RPG Maker game that sounds generic and is generic. Sure, I'll admit that I got maybe 1 chuckle in the beginning and 1 at the end, but the rest of the game is another story. First thing to note is that when you start the game, you'll deal with random monster encounters. During your play, you'll fight monsters ranging from fair (as in "hold Enter to win") to "Run away immediately!" (to put it simply, if it's any form of lizardman or a possessed tree, running away is advised). You'll know to run away as they'll appear without any buddies, they'll take very little damage from your attacks while dishing out a ton of damage. In other words, this game needs balance. Speaking of balance, expect to fight enemy recolors, TONS of repeat bosses, and even one boss that requires 30 minutes to kill via magic attacks. Speaking of characters, one user pointed out that you basically have 4 mages...I'd like to say that isn't true. You have an OP hero, the mage (who turns out to be useless), the healer (who becomes more of a competent fighter than a spellcaster), and the brawler...given that knowledge, you'll know how to end the game. Of course, there's also one area near the end where you can climb up onto one of the barrier walls for no particular reason...a bug that needs to be fixed. So...do I recommend [i]Unrested Developement[/i]? Frankly, no. Most of the areas feel generic and empty, your currency nearly no value as the only shop is at the halfway point and cannot be returned to after a certain point, and the gameplay needs proper balancing, but it could be worse...it could be [i]Metal As Ph*k[/i]. Anywho, a price? $1 when it goes on sale sounds fair. Given that you'll be playing for 2.5 hours, you'll probably feel ripped off at $2 (though if you want to support the dev, I'd say go for it). It's not a bad game, but I don't see myself returning to it anytime in the near future. 3/10 Props to the developer for a finishable game, but it requires a lot more work to be truly enjoyable.

I know it's a short game going in, which is cool with me, because I spend a lot more on going to a movie which is even shorter and I don't get to play it. I like the story. The characters. The little joking they do. It's got an anime feel to it, and not just because of the drawing style. I'm taking my time, exploring, and looking for everything. Gonna wring my two bucks worth from it. So far, I do not see any imbalance like one reviewer posted. Milly is not hitting for more damage with her wand than she does with her spells. That's not even close to true. I see I'm not the only one who found that review to be wrong. I'm doing okay against the tough lizards, but that might be because I leveled up more than a player who tries to rush through. It might also be because I got the game after some patches. Mainly, I got the game now because I'm looking forward to the sequel with the catgirls. :) I'm enjoying it so far.

This game is fun, but much to short for even a 1,99€ price tag (during sales). The story of the cat goes nowhere. You collect shards and momentos without any use for them. And the game is just long enough to be non-refoundable. At 49ct it would be recommendable...

This is a really cute RPG game that I would love to play in my free time or when I'm just bored. It really takes my mind off of things and I would recommend it to some of my friends. I enjoyed playing it for a bit, however it is like most RPG games. Then again I was told that it was made with a basic "Make your own RPG game," so that slides. It is a really cute game and I will definitally continue to play it.

Super short game, be sure to get it on super sale......I played 2 hours and beat it. Good time killer, but don't expect much out of it.

MEH, MEEEEEHHHHH... I don't have much to say on this game. Mainly since there are many different sections of the RPGmaker engine, this one happens to be based off of the least balanced one. You have 4 characters two of which are 'mages' but they consistently do more dmg with physical attacks than with their skills. And one of the characters sucks for the entire game doing jack squat both for damage and healing, because the calculations for those in this particular engine are royally screwed up. And the main character is going to deal 80% of your damage because the weapons he gets has such high attack stats. Plus the game sort of feels like one big boss rush, which i like, except the standard enemies are either way too frequent, or are way too difficult for when you first fight them. On a positive note the end credits music is really enjoyable.

Unrested Development is a fun game short sweet its gameplay is overall enjoyable if you like rpgs you'll enjoy it the combat system is what i love the most its very much like the combat system used in the older final fantasy games story is good tons of funny jokes throughout the game hopefully well see more from rock cow productions in the future
