The Dragon's Prophecy

Eh... its alright as far as rpg maker games goes. It's just a simple story with a few key locations to go to. I have 6 hours but you can likely finish it a little sooner then that since i went exploring around immediately when i had access to the ship, and over explored as i kept wondering if there was more to find. Location-wise there really is just the initial castle and a random town selling upgraded gear, the shops in those locations also baits you a bit thinking that you'll get more party members since there is heavy armour that you can buy but no one that can equip it. The rest of the locations are dungeons or dungeon-like. There are some areas where you think might be a secret with 1 tile that looks off from the ones around it, but no, no secrets here sadly, everything you can access is shown as is. As for how dungeon's go... eh. there is a few floors in some of them, but you'll always encounter a giant room with a generated maze filled with enemies and chests spotted around. There is a bit of a pattern when it comes to chest colors and their contents but it sometimes breaks off at random. Like some red chests will often have gold but will sometimes have general items…

The Dragon's Prophecy is at it's core a send off to the classic <redacted due to copyright strike> and Master System JRPGs of a bygone era. Especially Dragon Warrior/Quest (It's still Dragon Warrior to me dammit!). You begin the game as Prince (Prince? No, [i]Finger[/i] prints. *beat* I don't think so...) Magnus, who is tasked to kill the fozzle and save the world from it's evil. Nothing fancy, nothing spectacular, just good old fashioned JRPG goodness, with an 8 bit aesthetic and sound that for an old guy like me makes me feel right at home. You never need more than 64K of RAM! 38,911 bytes free! Now get off my lawn! If you like old school JRPG fare, you'll probably like this game. I'm not far in, but I like what I see. It is RPG Maker, but it works perfectly fine in Linux (Steam does make it difficult to tell if it's native or Proton), if you like your operating systems lacking in malware and viruses from the factory.

cute game!

Got softlocked in the castle after an hour of play and got no dev or community help to fix it. I'm not the only person to get stuck here either. Doesn't matter that the game feels good to play and has pretty fun character design if you can't play it.

Fun retro JRPG, the story was also pretty old school with no real twists or surprises. Yet I found myself getting through the mazes (which honestly felt a bit grindy) to find out what happened next in the story. Also, no random encounters, although, for me, I enjoy being over leveled before boss battles. I felt the battles and story could have been expanded on for something a little more unique. Overall, 8/10, good game dev!

I liked this one....it felt kind of special....loved the graphics.. like a retro throwback with nostalgia....recommended,
