We released a very small patch to fix a minor bug that will stop story from advancing, on very rare occasion, after you beat the boss from Abandoned Mine. cheers!

The people that recommended this game must be masochists that enjoy terribly designed repeating-pseudo-random-maps, one dimensional skill sets, counterintuitive skill upgrading/selection, forced consumable item hoarding due to early and CONSTANT poisoning, unreasonable difficulty curves, LAZY DIOLOGUE, canned lore, LEVEL GRINDING, and a $15 MSRP to boot. To put it simply... This game has less depth and refinement...

I own about 300 games, of which 30+ of them are RPG Maker games. I happen to like the RPG Maker genre. DarkEnd is among the very best RPG Maker games that I have played. I spend more than 100+ hours playing this game, and enjoyed it tremendously, and that is why I decide to write a review of DarkEnd to share my experiences. In DarkEnd you can play as one of 4 different Primary Characters, and each of these 4...

First off, i wanted to try out this game to see how it is. Sadly, i did not find the game that good. First off, i will post my pro's for this game: ONE OTHER NOTE: This is a rpg-maker game. These don't bother me, but if they bother you, the reader, feel free to pass on this game. Graphic style also does not bother me. Also, i was not paid to make an review. I don't believe in that method either. Even if i was given...

DarkEnd is a game made from an RPG Maker software where you play as one of four different characters and you travel with a partner to vanquish the DarkEnd. This game has you go through different randomly generated levels in a world to destroy the dark crystal at the end. Each world has different secrets, such as harder dungeons with extra enemies and treasure, hidden quests, and hidden bosses. In the hub world, you...

For about 4 dollars I'd say it was worth it, there was times when it was a challenge (in a good way) and times when it was just 'I'm bored, I should play pokemon this is so bad'. The side quests were hard to do due to the low drop chances (or my horrible luck) and the random generating was so random i found the fairy 10 times and the cave once before giving up. I'll give the story a 6 out of ten, but i played as...

Unskippable cutscenes, unskippable tutorial screens, default RPG Maker menus, tile-based character movement, no saving at start of game, no obvious way to progress the story after you get past the initial cutscene and dialogue (have to talk to all the NPCs before it will let you continue), very bad character art. Nice to see some dynamic lighting/shadow effects, even if it's not adding any element of surprise nor...

This review has been brought to you by A Curator in the Making. If you’re interested in games made on RPG Maker feel free to check out our curator (we will love it if you follow it too ^^). Darkend is one of those games that I wish it was possible to give it a neutral option because the game itself is not bad enough to flat out not recommend it, and you can tell there was a lot of work in its technical aspects. I...

Gameplay is clunky, feels like RPG maker assets put together. Hard achievements. Story .. well who cares you just have to do the quests. Verdict: One of those free garbage games we farm for cards, 10/10. EDIT: It looks like there are many paid/sponsored positive reviews on the store page. If I could put a double red thumb, I'd do it.

Follow our Curator Group for more reviews DarkEnd is an RPGMaker game that is a fair bit better than a lot of the usual RPGMaker shovelware, but still falters when compared to many other RPGs. It has some interesting mechanics, but a lot of the same RPGMaker tropes are still present. The story and dialogue are just as poorly written as usual, and most of the combat mechanics are standard for a JRPG. In general, it...

I’ve played and beaten the non-steam version of this game a while ago. Overall a solid RPG. Recommend it for people who like to enjoy the challenging turnbased RPGs. DarkEnd is somewhat similar to the instant-classic Etarian Odyssey series. Light on story but rather focused on gameplay. The battles are really harsh for unprepared party and could get wiped easily by simple blunder. What I really like about this game...
