Disgraced

Stellar effort by one of the best indie devs going imo - Corrosion Studios LLC! The dev(s) have major talent at making really compelling and awesome CRPGS in RPGMaker, using fresh assets and having some of the most remarkable and rewarding character progression, itemization, exploration and more. Very authentic ancient Japan right here, right down to all of the weapon and armor names & more. And this game is right up there with another great they've made, Lawless Lands, as some of their best work. Cheers devs! :)

Yes to all these games

its a pretty decent game, kind of mindless but still enjoyable. the only thing that really gets to me is that the quests dont tell you where to go or where to return to and it only says the name of an npc but none of them are too memorable for that to work. the map doesnt tell you where the places you find are and only says the main towns you have to take over so you have to memorize what places are where, where you got quests and where they tell you to go, which places are apart of your rebellion/ resource building, etc. i plan on playing through it even with that being the case and even though theres no guides.... anywhere.... so its enjoyable enough, and hey theres gamblingggg

Mix of RPG and a management game set in dark and gritty Japan under an oppressive regime that you have to liberate. Sounds amazing right? Yes. but the reality is very different. This is a bog standard RPG Maker game with very shallow mechanics and literally nothing interesting going on. + Great atmosphere and the settings is interesting. + There is a ton of variety in weapons and other gear. - Combat is bog standard RPG Maker, very boring and grindy. There are many weapons but they all feel the same. - There is nothing interesting going on - storywise or otherwise. You explore the map, fight a few enemies in a set locations, finish a few simple quests and thats it. - Management aspect of the game is very basic, kinda grindy and very very bland. You raise a few basic stats and spend them on activities - improving your town, convincing people to join your cause etc. - There is no easy way to save game - you have to go back to bed or have a special item in your inventory, Met a tough opponent you cant escape from? You die and go back to the previous save and do the exact same steps you just did. - There are no characters worth talking about - everyone has one sentence written ab…

I completed the main story in 10 hours. I didn't really enjoy it that much. I haven't played it in eight years. But you know what? The dev is still updating it, and just rolled out a major update a short time before I decided to write this. And to me? That's amazing. This person is dedicated to a vision. None of the kind of corner-cutting nonsense that's become common since it was released. Just relentless, incremental improvement to this experience. I respect that so much that I can only possibly give this a thumbs up. I hope I can create something, someday, that lasts this long. I wish this dev all the best.
