Dreams Of Adventure

Not good. It feels cheap & boring.

RPG Maker strikes again! Dreams Of Adventure 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 completely garbage RPG Maker asset flip with a bunch of toilet humour, flipped assets and a lot of badly made RPG maker maps and so on... and more of a bad thing makes it worse, not better. This entire game was developed almost entirely by pressing CTRL-C then CTRL-V a lot.

The game is build for 640x480 resolution. Fine. But if you're going to have a game running at that resolution, it has to be responsive. This is not. The english text is riddled with errors that make it hard to follow sometimes. I didn't try the QTE spellcasting system because the lockpicking system requires just timing a moving bar and it's obviously out of sync so I failed over 40 times to do the tutorial lockpicking box. I can only imagine how bad the spellcasting is if you turn it on. Since the optimization was so bad I didn't even get 1.5 hours in before I had lost all hope of getting into it.

The writing needs some work (lots of spelling errors and words used twice in one sentence) and I got stuck going in and out of a door several times.
