About RPGolf
Once upon a time, the kingdom was a land of peace, harmony, and an all-consuming passion for the greatest sport - GOLF. Everyone in the land played day and night, and soon the kingdom itself was turned into the most beautiful course the world had ever seen. The land was happy. The land was good.
Until the monsters came...
In its obsession with golf, the people had become complacent, leaving the kingdom open to attack. Hole by hole, dungeon by dungeon, the monsters emerged and drove the people off the course. And a great sadness fell across the world.
Then one day, a brave girl appeared, determined to play the finest course in the world. Armed only with her golf club, she would set forth to play the nine legendary holes. But first, she would need to rid the land of the monsters...
RPGolf is an exciting blend of classic JRPG with 8-bit golf. Relive the nostalgia of the classic gaming age, but in an exciting new mash-up that combines the best of both worlds.
Key features include:
* Retro gaming graphics to transport you back to the 80s.
* Simple, intuitive controls enable you to battle, golf, and explore the world.
* 9 holes of golf, ready to be discovered across the world map.
* Dungeons filled with treasure and danger!
* Deadly boss fights.
RPGolf seamlessly blends golf and RPG into one addicitve game. Battling monsters will level you up, allowing you to hit the ball further. Discovering new clubs and gloves scattered around the world will improve your golf game, and also give you the edge in combat. By blending 2 game styles together, RPGolf creates a brand-new take on both, unlike anything seen before.

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the creative genre-blending concept of mixing golf with RPG combat and find it decent for casual play, but criticize the execution for being repetitive, lacking depth, and having technical issues like poor controller support and inconsistent hit detection. The minimal content, zero replayability, and underwhelming golf mechanics that don't account for stat bonuses make this feel like an unfinished or poorly ported experience that wears thin quickly despite its novel premise.
I wanted to like this game but it gets too boring too quickly. It doesn't have much going for it either. There no achivements to even grind for. Would love to see more games that combine 2 completely genres into a single entity, this one ain't it tho.23 found this helpful
Does not fully support controllers, despite rebindable keys. Couldn't navigate menus or aim golf ball. Text boxes are even too small for the few words they contain.4 found this helpful
The game is best described as "not bad though not good either." If you look for something specific such as a second-tier Zelda-like, you might like it. If you expect a general quality experience, look elsewhere. The asset level is minimal. Because of the repetitive, minimal quality of the game, the replay value is zero. It is wildly repetitive clubbing of enemies with somewhat inconsistent hitboxes and randomly-working hit detection. The 'golf' part is highly secondary and mostly used to unlock progression. The golf flight trajectories do not account the stat bonuses, meaning you never know how far the ball is going to fly. The RPG elements are nominal stat increases and the choice factor disappears once you realize that everything else besides Strength - that drastically increases clubbing damage - do almost nothing and waste points. The plot is not there. The ending is pretty much the monster leader assuring that he will pull out his guys from then on. Every single boss fight is like this: wait for the boss to do its invulnerable pattern until it stops and becomes hittable for a moment and repeat. There is no pausing in the game. Poisoning damage progresses no matter what. …1 found this helpful
It feels like a bad port. Not for me.
Not bad. Got my fill. Not going to bother playing the sequel.
I'm only a few hours into this, and I find this to be a decent casual adventure game with a clever spin. Combat is pretty straight forward and the integration into what could be a snoozefest of a golfing game is greatly welcomed. Nothing is especially spectacular, but definitely a great game to throw in your library as a fun game to kill time on a flight or long drive (provided you aren't the one driving - it's not THAT casual of a game). So if that's what you're looking for, definitely grab this at a great price. Don't expect anything amazing, but it will keep you occupied providing a unique experience.
