The only thing entertaining about this "game" is the awful translation. Got to the part where they were talking about the first two deaths and had to quit from sheer boredom. Rating: 1/10

简单、直接、不浪费时间的游戏,25分钟解决战斗,很适合当下工作繁忙的人来轻松一下。也许他不像别的游戏有那么多对话和文本,但已经足以说清故事,尽管故事情节也能预料,但不觉得俗套,配合音乐还挺感人。最后结局不是很懂,望同好解释。

RPG Maker strikes again! "Shanghai1920" is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker 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 assets coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. This RPG Maker construction kit train wreck eschews the usual asset flipped pixelcrap for even worse hand-made MS-Paint tier "art", and eschews the high school anime club fan-fiction about the developers imaginary girlfriend for some claptrap about vampires in Shanghai in the 1920's. This doesn't make it better. There's more emphasis on the badly done fan-fiction writing than on gameplay, which raises an interesting question about RPG Maker... what's worse, the crap fan-fiction writing that goes along with them, or the godawfully bad Final Fantasy ripoff gameplay? 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 gam…

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
