Journey to Luonto

⠀

Игра "Journey to Luonto" предлагает атмосферный приключенческий опыт с живописной графикой и мелодичным саундтреком. Погружение в мир природы и эмоциональная история главного героя — сильные стороны. Однако управление ощущается не совсем интуитивным, а некоторые квесты кажутся излишне сложными. Технические сбои и недостаточное описание механик снижают общее впечатление. Рекомендую для любителей медленного, размышлительного геймплея, но с оговоркой о возможных недоработках.

So I played this after seeing the ToastyTime video and here's what I have to say: 1.) The maps feel bare bones. There's a lot of rooms in this game where there's just tons of empty space that could be filled in, or just don't need to exist at all. 1.5.) The game is heavy with RTP and while that's not necessarily a bad thing, I feel that developers should create their own assets in order to give off a unique or stylized feel. 2.) All (or most?) battles use the same music. After a while I turned off the music but from your average encounter, all the way to the bosses of this game, they all use the same battle music which gets grating after a while. 2.5) The characters clip into the enemies during battles. I don't know why this wasn't tweaked, it's as if the developer wanted the game to be in frontview but then suddenly decided "nah, sideview it is" so now every enemy is in the center, causing clipping errors, when they should've been towards the left of the screen. 3.) Every AOE spell with Liss is a reskin of each other. When I was leveling up and gaining new spells I was excited, they're very cheap and seem to hit every target! That is, until I realized they all did the exact s…

RPG Maker strikes again! "Journey to Luonto" 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 and utterly generic minimum effort RPG Maker asset flip. It's like a perfect, pure example of just how garbage RPG Maker asset flips are. Almost no effort went into this. The writing is cringey, junior high school anime club dropout stuff. Map and encounter designs and everything else are incredibly basic, uninspired, and mostly straight off-the-rack. 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 make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game…

This is a very simple, easy, and linear game, but it has that feel of the great top down indie RPS's like Dragon Warrior and Phantasy Star. The characters, items, abilities, and combat is right in line with those games. The art is nice too. Overall, it is a very casual play game. I think it would be great to introduce new players to the genre.
