About Aldriak, the advent of a new world

Aldriak, the advent of a new world takes place in a fantastic open world in which the player accompanies the heroes through their saga. It's an RPG turn-based strategy game inspired by the first games of the genre but with a new and original mechanic. This mechanic takes the form of 3 distinct rows in which all the fighters (players and creatures) are placed. Each skill requires being in a particular row and can only target by following certain rules.
Innovative and complex combat system
  • Row system to give a new dimension to the turn by turn. The rows define the range of the attacks and allow, among other things, to define a tank role that is not doomed to use a taunt all the time to attract attacks on him.
  • 4 difficulties are available to satisfy both players who play to overcome challenges and those who play above all to live a story.
An original storyAldriak lives his usual life as a well-known scientist of his time when transported to a world where technology does not seem to exist and where magic does exist. He meets a group of travelers who seek to stem the rituals of sacrifice that rule their world. Indeed, they tell Aldriak that they are forced to send their loved ones to be sacrificed so as not to suffer the wrath of the gods. But no one remembers who started this tradition, and what this wrath of the gods is.
  • What are the reasons that compel the people to send sacrifices?
  • How did Aldriak get into this world?
Extensive character developmentSpecialization choices that completely change a hero's gameplay. If you take the warrior from the group, he can end his career as a Berserker or as a Guardian. In the first case, he will strike harder and harder as he loses life while in the second case, he will take care of protecting the group with defensive skills.
  • Points to be distributed at each level and which are not final. It is possible to redistribute all the Level Points between each fight, allowing to change the gameplay during the story or to adapt to certain bosses that require a particular strategy.
  • Possibility to modify the equipment which can be gained on certain monsters or made at a blacksmith.
A rich universe
  • Many secrets and puzzles
  • Over 300 different monsters
  • 90+ achievements
  • 5 different possible epilogues
  • 50+ hours of play
  • Toughest ending boss that ever existed
  • And so much more!

Overall I really like this game, it can be a bit slow to walk around everywhere, but once You get off the first island things get much grander in scale. Level 20 for Your first specialisations and choosing complementary builds certainly help. You have a crew of 8 but a party size of 4 with the ability to switch when You want provided the character isn't knocked out. I am only 11 hours in at this point but I am really liking where the story is going. Choices Matter. I would probably give it an 8/10 and for a rpg maker game Its a really good one!

It is a captivating indie RPG that successfully delivers a fresh and immersive fantasy experience. From the very first moments, the game draws players into a meticulously crafted world filled with rich lore, diverse characters, and a storyline that balances mystery, emotion, and high-stakes adventure. One of the game's standout strengths is its world-building. The environments are beautifully designed, offering a variety of locations that each feel unique and purposeful. The soundtrack complements the atmosphere perfectly, enhancing the emotional beats of the narrative and the intensity of battles. Gameplay-wise, Aldriak blends classic JRPG elements with modern mechanics, offering strategic combat, meaningful character progression, and thoughtful side quests. The pacing is well-balanced, and there’s a real sense of discovery as you explore the world and uncover its secrets. What sets Aldriak apart is the developer’s clear passion and attention to detail. Whether it’s the hand-crafted visuals, the well-written dialogue, or the engaging progression system, every element feels intentional and polished. For fans of story-driven RPGs and indie games that dare to create their own myt…

It's a pretty deep RPGmaker game. I wish it did better so it could get some updates like Wooden Ocean, and Empire Chronicles. The game is still very very fun and if you are the fence you should give it a try.

I normally skip over RPG maker games, I'm glad i made an exception this time. so far I'm enjoying it, I can see that the game was made care. one criticism i have with is game is that the game is translated form another language and it shows it sometimes, but its only minor and its not a deal breaker. to me this is a hidden gem. kudos to the dev.

If you love challenging and fun rpgs, then I highly recommend this game. Not only are the graphics lovely, but the gameplay and strategy are good with humor thrown in too! Can not wait to play more and really get more in depth into Aldriak's journey into his new world.

Normally, I don't leave reviews, but I'm doing so in hopes that it will help this unappreciated game out and bring some love and attention to it. Don't let the looks of this game mislead you: It might look like standard RPGMaker game, but it has insane depth. Character / team building and customization goes really deep. The battle system takes up 3 columns, Front row at risk of taking hits, middle row for damage dealers and back row for supporters. Giving the players a grand total of 8 characters with multiple class branching at the end of each chapter, players can build each character they want in consideration of the battle. Each level up affords stat points that can be reallocated freely and there are a bunch of build-enabling equipment. For players who enjoy the min-maxing, this will surely be up your valley. The game is also a love letter to old school RPGs. Talking to random NPCs actually gives substantial information in each zones. Maps are generally huge and encourage exploration due to the number of secrets and side quests in them. Most notably, each level comes with their own unique mechanism which players might love or hate, but it does work its magic on nostalgia. As…
