To Kill A King

RPG with all the necessary ingredients, but it can’t escape the generic template and pacing issues. The game has limits because it was created with an RPG engine. For example, there is no full-screen option in the settings, so you must look it up online because the engine has its own buttons (F4 - full screen, F5 - game reset, etc.). Another complaint is that dash does not operate, which is odd given it can be seen under controls. The story doesn’t take itself too seriously. This becomes obvious right from the start where the big baddie has to deal with his two silly succubi who want nothing more than to get “punished” by their master. The script is not exactly for kids because there are a lot of F-bombs thrown at you, but it’s generally fine. However, it could use a bit of a touch-up because commas are missing form most sentences. Anyway, after being summoned to do the master's bidding, which does not make you pleased, you are obligated to do as you are instructed. If you've played a similar RPG before, you know what to expect. You explore the world from above, interact with chests, barrels, and other containers to find more or less valuable items, talk to people and purchase …

To Kill A King has a classic feel, and a fresh dose of aggression said classics don't really let you express. I've played a number of older games where the heroes are only too happy to go along with whatever is asked of them without a hint of frustration. Add to that the grinding that is always sure to make a person (i.e. me) very frustrated. Rots definitely gets that anger across, the game also has a lot of mechanical call backs to older games that I feel like people who like grinds will call back to.

A fun little oldschool RPG with the classic "Rough Start Snowball" setup and a satisfying amount of gives-no-♥♥♥♥ humor.

This could be an interesting game - but some points prevent that. a) the very small graphic...yes it is an RPGMaker game but even those have larger graphics. b) every dungeon is without light...doesn't matter if explore an cave or an tower...only a small circle around your character...in some of them there are torches..but you must first run past them to light them up. This is double trouble because of the small graphics...At times I felt like I was at an ophthalmologist....add that there is no hint about exit or even a minimap. c) No map..not for the overworld not for dungeons. d) No party...only your starting char....and at last till now I haven't found any area spells or skills. e) travel around is a chore. Yes, you can use an item to warp back to the starting castle....but that's a one way ticket. If you want to go back to explore more...have fun...you must walk through every dungeon again. Maybe if this were a F2P game....but for the ask price you can get much better games (and many RPGMaker games even for free).
