✦ AI summary

New World - the ideal world - is an indie RPG Maker title that offers a darker story than its cute ASCII art presentation suggests, featuring turn-based combat where recognizing enemy weaknesses matters. Players praise the game's quick establishment of its own identity and the contrast between its unassuming visuals and the serious narrative about revenge and a world mixing magic and machines, though some criticize it as a low-effort RPG Maker asset flip with clichéd storytelling and limited production values.

It looks like a Final Fantasy-inspired menu RPG with original, dark story and characters. The directory structure is a bit messed up ATM, though.

New World: The Ideal World is a really unusual little RPG, and I liked how quickly it established its own identity. I play as Sira, a girl living in a harsh world where machines and magic exist side by side, while she secretly searches for a way to take revenge on the emperor responsible for destroying her family. The cute ASCII art makes the setting look harmless at first, which creates an interesting contrast with the darker story underneath. The combat is turn based and command driven, but I found it more interesting than the simple presentation initially suggested. Enemies have different characteristics and bosses can have specific weaknesses, so paying attention to what I am fighting matters quite a bit. I liked that battles can become much easier when I recognize those weaknesses, because it rewards observation rather than simply grinding until my numbers are high enough. Character customization is handled through a badge system that I found surprisingly useful. Badges can grant skills while changing my abilities, letting me shape characters around different roles and strategies. The party system also gives me more control than I expected, with front and back positions and …

RPG Maker strikes again! "New World - the ideal world -" 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 garbage RPG Maker asset flip differentiates slightly from most RPG Maker asset flips (which are just fan-fictions about the developers imaginary girlfriend). This one instead pretends to portray a narrative adventure (with some lightweight RPG Maker flip gameplay) about an ASCII art character from one of the -chan message boards (if you don't know what these are, you're a better person for it). Except this crapfest doesn't feature any ASCII art (weirdly misleading) and just has pixelcrap RPG Maker assets and other garbage instead. Take heart, however, because the high school anime club dropout fan-fiction writing is still here in full force. You want cringe? This is cringe. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor q…
