RPG Maker strikes again! Legacy of Aeroja 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. There's little to no original content in this RPG Maker asset flip, and the plot itself is right out of a junior high school remedial writing class. Raise a dragon, deal with godawfully bad encounters, reach a new understanding of why RPG Maker is so universally reviled amongst gamers... enabling those who should never publish games to publish games anyway, making gaming worse for everyone. 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 "profe…

It's rare for an RPGMaker game to mercilessly kick the ♥♥♥♥ out of me, but that's what Legacy of Aeroja did. I won't give it a thumbs down just because it has a learning curve and a high difficulty level. It's clear that the devs don't want you to mindlessly steamroll the game by pressing OK over and over, and that's fine. Making you press a button to change areas is an odd and cumbersome design choice but I imagine there's a reason for it. And what I originally thought was a bug, being able to use the healing ability, was actually intentional as the ability doesn't work if you don't have any berries to eat in your inventory. It even says so if you mouse over it with a tooltip. It has a unique battle system, too, which feels janky at first but you can get the hang of it. So I'll give Legacy of Aeroja a thumbs up.
