Great Utopia

RPG Maker strikes again! Great Utopia is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs trying to cash in on abandoned app store stuff. It's an RPG Maker asset flip that was removed from Google Play (understandably) but lingers in the garbage end of the free games section on Steam, which really needs a bit of bleach to clear up some of the pollution and asset flips and failed homework assignments that gamers have to wade through in search of decent games. Great Utopia 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. 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 th…

Great Utopia is a short science-fiction role-playing game that places an unusually dark premise inside a colorful RPG Maker presentation. Developed by Andres Cavallin and published by Tools 4 Life, LLC, the game focuses on a futuristic civilization whose apparent perfection has been shattered by a technological disaster. Rather than building a massive RPG filled with dozens of systems, Great Utopia concentrates its ideas into a compact adventure involving exploration, puzzles, character interactions, and traditional turn-based battles. The story takes place after humanity has enjoyed decades of prosperity within the society known as the Great Utopia. Its continued existence depends heavily on advanced technology, particularly a machine called the Incubator that is responsible for producing new humans. A catastrophic malfunction in 2061 changes everything. Children created afterward develop severe depression and die by the age of ten, leaving the future of humanity in jeopardy. The protagonist is the last child of humanity and consequently becomes central to discovering what caused the disaster and whether civilization can be saved. This premise gives the game considerably more na…

I played this a few years back but i remember it had a great story, set design, and game play. Really took me back to them GBA days. I'd like to see more stuff from the studio!

Nice game to play for fun!

Игра "Great Utopia" — это настоящее погружение в мир, где каждая деталь продумана до мелочей. Графика поражает своей детализацией, а саундтрек создает неповторимую атмосферу. Геймплей здесь динамичен и увлекателен, заставляя игрока постоянно искать новые тактические решения. Огромный открытый мир предлагает массу возможностей для исследования, а сюжетные линии настолько захватывающие, что порой забываешь о времени. Каждый персонаж обладает своей уникальной историей и мотивацией, что делает взаимодействие с ними особенно интересным. Отдельного упоминания заслуживает система крафта и прокачки, которая позволяет создать по-настоящему уникального героя. "Great Utopia" — это не просто игра, это целое приключение, которое никого не оставит равнодушным.

The developer made this game as an example of his Udemy course of RPG Maker MV/MZ so this is more like a "tech demo". The course itself has 4* rating, I guess it is a decent. The game is free to check out, the story is actually interesting and I appreciate the guy puts this up as a free sample of hes teachings. Thumbs up from me!
