Dragon Spirits : Prologue

"Dragon Spirits : Prologue" isn't even an RPG Maker asset flip, it's worse, it's an [i]advertisement[/i] for an RPG Maker asset flip. I mean... would you sign up for a poke in one of your eyes with a blunt stick so you can decide whether you want to get both eyes done? No? Then why would you download a garbage advert for an RPG Maker asset flip? In case you want to know what this "game" is (that this is an advertisement for), it's an RPG Maker asset flip, badly translated, with the usual high school anime club dropout fanfiction plot. It's pure garbage. I know, RPG Maker has an absolutely trash reputation, but we should remember this reputation has been thoroughly earned. This features really godawful, lazy pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks bad because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. This is only free in the same way that ad…

It is very similar to the old pokemon games for game boy color.

[i]Originally posted on [url=https://www.dragon-quill.net/quick-reviews-12/]Dragon Quill.[/url] Comments are enabled there.[/i] This is a Chinese game that unfortunately had a really sloppy English localization. Just about every text box contains a grammatical error. Some are minor, but others make the text incomprehensible. As a result I can’t fairly judge the writing. I can, however, judge the plot, which is that a game developer gets isekai’d into the world of the game he’s developing. Yes, it’s the video game equivalent of authors writing novels about authors. Except they don’t even do much with this, because the protagonist immediately forgets his past life and thinks he’s a regular inhabitant of the world, and just, why. Why couldn’t they just make a regular game without this layer of weirdness? The dragons are really pretty, the battle system uses an ATB system which I’m meh about, and capture mechanics [i]seem[/i] to be slightly more consensual than Pokemon’s, but I can’t really tell because the translation is incomprehensible. That’s about all I can say.

actually surprisingly good? cute and fun, it has a lot of charm and the dragon designs are absolutely sick. the ui has alot of thought put into it (especially the menu designs) and the story/characters are both funny and endearing. Theres also a surprising amount of care put into the dialogue and banter between the two mcs, as certain lines change depending on what you do in the overworld and alters their reaction depending on it. There are some qol options you get through exploring and fun silly things they put in that make you realise they really did their best to make the world feel as interesting and lived in as possible (you can find a student's secret fanfiction about their teacher for example, or a chunni student's notebook about being the chosen one). Music is great as well. If you're still on the fence about paying, the prologue alone gives you hours of time with this game - its one of the longest and most comprehensive demos i have ever played! highly recommend you give this a try!

Игра 'Dragon Spirits: Prologue' оставляет приятное впечатление, особенно учитывая, что это всего лишь пролог. Визуально игра выполнена в пиксельной стилистике, которая смотрится очень мило и ностальгично. Саундтрек тоже не подкачал, мелодии атмосферно дополняют происходящее на экране. Геймплейно это классическая метроидвания, где мы исследуем мир, собираем улучшения и сражаемся с врагами. Управление отзывчивое, бои динамичные, но, на мой взгляд, немного не хватает разнообразия в атаках. Сюжет, хоть и не раскрыт полностью в прологе, интригует и вызывает желание узнать, что будет дальше. Главная героиня, Лин, располагает к себе, и интересно наблюдать за ее развитием. Из минусов можно отметить небольшую продолжительность (около часа игры) и некоторую линейность в исследовании. Однако, учитывая, что это бесплатный пролог, грех жаловаться. В целом, 'Dragon Spirits: Prologue' - отличная затравка для будущей полноценной игры, которая обязательно заинтересует поклонников метроидваний и любителей пиксельной графики. Рекомендую ознакомиться!
