The Essence Reaper Ritual

This is a pure cargo cult video game in the most literal sense. It is a crude facsimile of a real video game that from long distance appears to be the real thing, but the moment you look at it, you find out that it's at best painted cardboard. The dummy game at first appears to have mechanics. This is a lie. The numbers mean absolutely nothing, the effect of everything is random, not even the purely arbitrary experience numbers add up correctly. This phony game also tries to have quests with choice and consequence. As the game description puts it "There are some antogonism rewards you will get by choosing a particular decision that favour one spiritual path. Choose to fight slavers, and a Paladin companion might join you, choose to help the slavers and you may get gold and a dark paladin in your party. Those are your choices, and it is up to you to shape the destiny of you character as well as Ethernalia course of events." This is in fact true, except this particular choice comes at a point in the game where the creator gave up trying to make something at least passably similar to a game and the player no longer has any real input.

its a great rpg dont let the graphics fool you its a bit nostalgic to baldurs gate and other high end top down rpgs of the 90s its got great graphics even for it being new but they a great job mixing rpg text adventure and strategy all in one also i sure do hope they fix some of the issues and hope they also add blood cause i cant tell if im hitting or missing but its a great game that i recommend and i hope someone will pass this review along and get more people to try it its worth a shot and there is a lot of work set out for it and i will say its a masterpiece

OK this has the potential to be a very fun game; but, there are so many unfinished and buggy things: InnKeepers that take you money but you don't heal from the rest, quests you can't finish because the NPC won't give you the reaction you need to return the quest and collect the reward, traveling to certain areas but not being able to travel out of them. Please finish this game. Add some random re-occurring monsters too so you can gain experience. Not to mention that no matter how much experienced I got I never gained a level. Let alone merchants that won't sell or buy from you. I cannot recommend this game until it's finished.

Being it's a new game, it flows pretty well. The load times for traveling isn't bad. The voice acting is a give or take but all in all hope to see this game flourish
