The Chosen RPG

The Chosen does everything wrong an RPG Maker game on Steam can do wrong, and then some. I can forgive that it has the cheesiest and most cliché story you can imagine, or no original assets aside from a few drawn character busts. But The Chosen also treats you with its bland and uninspired map design, boring characters, lazy balancing that I can tell uses the default RPG Maker stats, and hilariously bad dialogue with...

My Impression: I usually steer clear of RPG maker games, but I was interested in the fact the description compared it to Chrono Trigger. It is nothing like Chrono Trigger. It's a very generic JRPG with a generic storyline. I beat the game with all the achievements in 4 hours, including the hidden items. Positive: + Character art is pretty nice, not sure it's original (also, there's no nudity like the tags suggest) +...

Biggest reason not to buy: http://www.ultraimg.com/image/xtU3 The dev (shortly pre-release) deleted all negative posts and (perma-)banned EVERYONE outing negative critism. Even when they did adhere to the Steam guidelines. The developer also attempts to hide it and lies about it, saying that he welcomes criticicsm: https://i.imgur.com/l1UbOOi.jpg Later this response (among others) was deleted by the developer. I...

I played this game for half an hour, and I actually may return to it to be honest. However, to be clear, the only reason I would go back to it because it is hilarious. That is, hilariously bad. It'd almost be a parody of stereotypical JRPGs if it didn't take itself so seriously. And the bugs. Just in the first half hour, without trying to find them, I saw at least three graphical errors and an NPC that gave me...

I grew up playing JRPGs, Super Mario RPG, Legend of Dragoon, Chrono Cross and so on. It's one of my favorite genres and I tend to enjoy even the subpar JRPGs out there, I try and find the redeeming qualities In them. So, with that said, when I first got this game, I thought to myself that it looked a little generic-y, but that surely, it was worth $2...right? Heh... As soon as you start the game, the scenario...

This game is too cheaply made to really be worth your time. The story is cookie fodder -- early -- Final Fantasy fare, the chosen hero has to save the world yadda yadda yadda. The only unique feature which tries to set it apart from other RPGMaker games is the cheesecake portraits of female characters, which heavily feature in the store front screenshots. The main problem is easily seen in all the random battles:...
