Divine Legacy

⠀

RPG Maker strikes again! Divine Legacy 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. This is a particularly badly made RPG Maker asset flip, although it's worth noting the developer tried to do some of his own artwork instead of the usual character image generators that most RPG Maker asset flippers use. We know this because they look comically awful. However, that all pales into insignificance when compared to just how godawfully cringe the writing is. I'm not kidding when I say this is high school anime club dropout fanfiction stuff... it's bad, real bad. 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…

It’s not just bad, it’s boring. I haven’t finished the game yet. Maybe I will some day but I just need a break from it. While the gameplay is the best part, the game gives you five playable characters but only the first two are any good. Maybe the third one is good but I didn’t play with her much. And that wouldn’t be too much of an issue if it wasn’t for the fact that the game forces you to be the other characters for different story sections or boss fights. Like I really didn’t like playing as the white haired guy since his attacks are so slow since attack speed and multiple projectile attack were more effective and his limit break feels weak. And the encounter rate is atrociously high and fights themselves don’t seem thought out. Like you could have a fight with 5 monsters, take one step and then you’ll up against a single healer who can’t do squat. As for the story, I didn’t care for it or the characters at all. Tried reading it for a while but near the end I just started skipping everything since I was so unengaged. At least the chemistry between the lead and his love interest seems to have some cute charm to it and there was a scene with the purple girl and the evil …

The controls, or lack of, is a huge letdown. Trying to figure out the cancel/back button in the title menu to change the sound settings is horrendous, I pressed every single button and couldn't exit that screen. Not only that, the title screen music stayed blaring at 100% volume, even though I turned down BGM to 10%. I got to the second fight in the starting area, and was stuck in the fighting dimension, defeated all monsters but was trapped in there, most likely a glitch. Will come back to the game once controls and glitches are patched. No matter how good the game may be, if you can't play it, it's sh-
