About Unforgiving Trials: The Space Crusade
✦ AI summary
Lead four unlikely heroes on a race to the Sun to stop an immortal tyrant manipulating time itself and turning your world into a wasteland. Build your character's unique combat style by choosing your class and developing custom abilities between fixed encounters, with no grinding required.
STORY
The world is dying. Many years after the banishment of the evil that plagued the land, the world was hit by waves of unbearable heat. Crops are withering, rivers and wells drying and the cattle is slowly dying out from illness.
During his desperate work to save his family farm from the heat, young farmer named Jory was suddenly visited by a mysterious stranger claiming that the land could be saved and that he is the one who can help save it.
Despite his skepticism, in desperation he accepted the strangers offer and was instantly transferred to a strange flying metal contraption where three other people waited.
The stranger explained to them that the thing that plagues this world is not a natural, but man made disaster. An evil and immortal tyrant, together with his evil legions from times past is manipulating the Sun that heats their world and the very fabric of time. All to fulfill his goal of utter time and space domination. Coming from a time where the tyrant already established domination, the stranger known as Cooper came back in an attempt to rewrite time and thus save both present and the future from utter destruction.
He explained to his four guests that even though they are not warriors they all carry genes of great heroes of the past. Using his superior technology he can make Jory and his new friends capable of combating any threat that comes their way.
GAMEPLAY
Each character will choose his own unique class among the rich variety that "The Space Crusade" offers. Despite this, they will not only be defined by their class of choice, but also with their inherent abilities (i.e. farmer Jory will be more sturdy then his companions, while grifter Laura will be more agile then the rest). Every class will be able to use a wide variety of abilities that will enable them to combat their more technologically advanced foes. The number of possible encounters is fixed, so there will not be any tedious level grinding. After each level up the player will choose new skills, and with it the way their characters develop combat-wise. Goal of the game is to reach the Sun where the tyrant resides while combating his legions, both human and mutated monstrosities.

eh
I tried giving this game a chance, in fact, I played through to the end, but honestly, it's not worth it. The gameplay is that of an old turn based RPG, something like Final Fantasy, where you have your party and fight a few enemies at a time. There's little to no exploration in this game, in fact, most of the gameplay between fights could be considered interactive cutscenes (in which you only have to click to advance the dialogue), and then moving on to the next battle (you can also buy some items with the "spice" you win in battles). You're told at the beginning that you can search around for useful items, but after the first few levels it seems there's nothing to be found. Now, the game has plenty of problems. To begin with, there's lots of spelling mistakes, which makes reading through the dialogue a real pain. Also, most of the enemies you fight are incredibly tough to beat, if only because they have huge amounts of health, and they also deal lots of damage. Another big problem is that you can get soft-locked against a certain boss, who can stun or put your characters to sleep (up to three characters per turn, to boot!), and pretty much never misses its attacks, so if it stun…
Decent story but combat feels unnecessarily hard. Dark souls RPG maker buggy game.
Ugh... this is one of those games that looks good in theory but falls flat when you actually play. The combat feels like I’m slapping around a wet noodle. The difficulty spikes are brutal for no reason. I spent hours getting stuck in pointless loops. Not even nostalgic fun could save it.
Tried to get into this, but it’s just frustrating. The gameplay is stiff, and the graphics are nothing special. The story? Don’t even get me started. It’s like they put all this effort into making it "hard," but forgot about the fun. Too much of a grind. 😬
