JRoguePG

I would leave my thoughts of this game as Netural if I could but since I can't, it would be unfair to anyone else interested in this game for me to leave this review as a positive one with caveats. If you're anything like me you see this game and immediately think that you're looking at an RPGMaker project that is a turn-based Roguelike with classes, something like a modern Final Fantasy 5 and you'd be right but only to a point. This game does a good job skinwalking the concept on the surface but then absolutely goes out of its' way to make sure that none of the choices in design philosophy, player agency, and overall fun are there the further you push into the experience. This obviously isn't an entirely negative experience and there is some fun to be had as the game is by far strongest at the beginning when you're starting out. The enemy artwork is decent, the music ranges from pretty good to serviceable, and the story is kind of there but not too boring nor too in your face. Learning enemy weaknesses and how to approach different biomes is different from the normal turn-based game on Steam which provides some good variety, but unfortunately, the fun doesn't last as you're inev…

Game has taken over my life since getting into it. Big recommendation for any fans of turn-based combat.

In my opinion, a fun albeit difficult game. Or maybe I just suck at it. We may never know for sure... Edit: I have beaten it after more struggles, and I really liked the ending I got. I find this game very enjoyable, and would recommend it to other fans of roguelites and JRPGs.

As long as you know what you're getting, this game is a great buy. I'll explain what the game is, what's great about it, and what could be improved. The name is slightly misleading. If you want something like a JRPG, go elsewhere. The only part of JRPG that this game borrows is the concept of turn based party battles. Everything else is roguelite. I knew that going in, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Form your party of 4 characters. You start with 3 classes unlocked, and as you play, you'll unlock more character classes. You'll go through a series of 6 biomes with different enemies and increasing difficulty. There is a big difficulty jump after the first biome, so be prepared! Each biome consists of a series of "maps". The only purpose of the map is to allow you to find treasure chests and enter a battle. At the end of the last map in the biome, you get a boss battle. Do this 6 times and win (which is very difficult, don't get discouraged!). In battle, you have HP, MP (for magic users), and RP (rage points). This is initially confusing, because sometimes your attacks are disabled. Why? Because not only do Skills cost RP (which makes sense), attacks cost RP too!!! You gain RP …

its a good game but its almost purely mechanics. the setting, characters, kingdoms are completely irrelevant. ame could be a time loop game and very little would change

i can already feel the heart in this
