Shadow Fate

The most fun, polished, and well thought out rpg maker game I've ever played.

Really fun and enjoyable game. Unlike a lot of games that are of this make and model, this one has a ton of skills where pretty much all of them have some use. You aren't stuck with 100 skills and spells but find that there is just 2 that you cast the entire game play.

This game is outstanding! Honestly, it's one of the best RPGs I have played in a really long time. It's not just the great story, the amazing, very flawed, but lovable characters, the interesting game play....the level of detail in everything is so good. I mean, you can tell if you're walking on wood, grass, snow...that level of detail is rare. So many others have described it so well. I have no idea why this game isn't well known and more played. Truly a gem!

The game is REALLY good. What really shines to me is the gameplay, be that the battle mechanics (which have so many variables and unique elements it makes bosses legitimately crazy fun. I can't gush enough about how much I enjoy the battles, and as someone slowly becoming fatigued with turn-based battles, it got me excited all over again) Then there's the gimmicks, and I don't use this negatively at all. The puzzles in certain areas are awesome, and the "a-ha!!" moment I just had today with a boss when looking a little closer at the background was also awesome. Every character serves a purpose and has unique fighting mechanics, like a shapshiter basically having a completely different play style for every (collectable and sometimes hidden on the map) form, and the gunner that needs certain ammo for moves, etc. Even pressing the back button/key right after using a skill to use a special version already adds so much to the fights.…

Can't remember why...but there must have been a reason why I asked for a refund.

An innovative JRPG experience with amazing story and excellent attention to detail, Shadow Fate offers an unforgettable journey through an interesting and relatable world. I was fortunate to watch the development process and be a beta tester, giving me insight on how the game was created. The project was made by a very responsive and creative developer who did incredible work with the available tools and resources, even making much of their own. The main cast of characters are all very interesting with their own stories and personalities, eventually coming together in a comprehensive and entertaining way. The events guiding them in the story are fluid and doesn't force the player into making too many unwanted decisions, giving you the freedom to play how you want. Combat is very fun as you have a wide variety of equipment, skills, magic and items to use at your disposal. Progression is smooth and doesn't lead to too much grinding for levels or money. The EX Skill system takes this game to the next level by enhancing your skills in the middle of battle. The story is incredibly well-written with all kinds of characters to interact with and places to visit along the way. There is …
