Shattering Obsidian

RPG Maker strikes again! Shattering Obsidian 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. 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 "professional" game development. In this case, an unusual deviation from the norm, a lot of the game assets aren't taken from the stock tilesets provided with RPG Maker, but seem to be bespoke... that doesn't mean they're good, of course, they look pretty bad, lazy retro pixel garbage. It would arguably have been better for the stock assets to be used. But, you complain, then it would look just like all the other RPG M…

Well, what a fun ride! Definitely worth a play-through if you enjoy a good adventure. Hope chapter 3 continues like this.

By the end of my time with Shattering Obsidian, the main character, a native, conscientious healer-type, was becoming cynical and rather merciless due to the tragedy surrounding her, It didn't have to be this way, it was because of my choices, which I hope are carried forward to the next chapter. Really enjoyed this. Great story, leaving you wanting for more, in chapter 3!! I highly recommend this game.

[h1]Before I played Shattering Obsidian, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

Game does not progress beyond three screens. Searches online yielded no meaningful results on gameplay and walkthrough. I felt a little conned at having bought this game and spending time trying to progress beyond those three screens. NOT RECOMMENDED.

Игра Shattering Obsidian — это настоящее погружение в мрачный, но завораживающий мир, где каждый уголок таит в себе загадки и опасности. Атмосфера игры пропитана ощущением надвигающейся беды, а визуальный стиль, выполненный в темных тонах с яркими акцентами, создает неповторимое ощущение напряжения. Боевая система требует вдумчивого подхода: здесь важна не только сила удара, но и своевременное уклонение, а также использование окружения. Персонажи прописаны с удивительной глубиной, каждый со своей историей и мотивацией, что делает их запоминающимися и вызывает искреннее сопереживание. Сюжет интригует с первых минут и постепенно раскрывает свои тайны, заставляя игрока постоянно строить догадки. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально дополняет происходящее, усиливая эмоциональное воздействие. Shattering Obsidian — это не просто игра, а целое приключение, которое оставит след в душе.
