There's also stuff like Ara Fell which is a little more famous because it was remade in other engine and is available on PS4, i think? Everything cited in this paragraph are available on Steam, sometimes for pennies. LISA is a fucking masterpiece tho OP already cited, but there's a lot of cool stuff nobody talks about, like The Amber Throne, Helen's Mysterious Castle, Sacred Tears True or Echoes of Aetheria. Definitely better than a lot of hyped stuff in the genre, even if not exactly a favorite in the genre either. It uses a lot of music and assets from another games (Which is part of why i avoid non commercial rm games a little tbh), but i'm having my share of fun. Was just playing a non-commercial classic jrpg like game minutes ago, called Theia: The Crimson Eclipse. You don't really need to use arrow keys or Z/X. Just a reminder, RPG maker stuff has native compatibility to controllers since long ago. So anyway, what do you think about these games? Sometimes I have the feel like the sole mention of "RPG Maker game" is a dealbreaker with some folks here but I'm not entirely sure.Īnd as a bonus question, if you like some RPG Maker games, which ones do you like? So yeah, I like that stuff and if there are some good new ones, I wouldn't mind trying them. Even some limited sidescrolling works somehow, see LISA. And to my surprise, it took me a look at the tags to see that Omori, another game I bought recently, is made with a recent RPG Maker Engine, so it appears like you can get past some limitations now. Thinking back, even after stopping playing RPG Maker games I sometimes tried some of the newest stuff and was surprised at the great ideas, legit presentation and fun mechanics they had and yeah, I had fun with some of them. I also played some Space Funeral, which is another incedibly trippy game, for the third time now because it is such a good experience. But then again, Unity allows you to do anything.Īnd still considering, I really had fun with Hylics and loved everything about it. Compare that to Unity - I have played a bit of a Unity game lately called Windscape, man and that one feels extremely undercooked und bugged. But even with that the base gameplay mechanics are pretty solid and you can get something perfectly playable no matter what. It is clear that older RPG Maker games have their limits when it comes to mechanics, I did maps for years on RPG Maker and know that there are still a lot of limitations that you can't avoid no matter how clever you are with the Engine. Nontheless, I had a ton of fun with that game, but I must say that my initial impression was a bit lowered because of that. Request translations for foreign maker related sites, games, scripts and tutorials.I bought Hylics not too long ago and actually didn't know it was an older RPG Maker game, but the Arrow Key controls and stuff like the Message Text speed and the Menu made it quickly clear.Participate in thoughtful, intelligent conversations aimed at expanding your mind.Discover your true purpose in life, maybe even become one with the force.Get support for a wide range of maker programs, were experts on them all.Be a part of an ever expanding community and create your own legacy!.Gain complete access to our Download, Tutorial/Script and Resource Databases.Heck, if you need even more reasons I suppose I can list off a few of the perks.
