Speaking of abilities, there are only two character that even do anything besides attack, and they are each basically pigeon-holed into a set function. Or you can just let the vampire wear the curse armor (she finds it almost immediately), and she is then essentially invicible the whole game by way of the drain ability.

There is basically one cheap-shot strategy to beat every boss: keep tripping them every round (it'll almost always succeed) and let the rest of your squad wail on them unimpeded. There are 3 status effects, each has maybe 1 or 2 enemies that use it exclusively, and aside from that it's just trading blows until someone runs out of health. Grinding is hardly worth it for just a few additional HP.

Basically, your stats are your equipment, and there are only a few sets in the game.

The only other attribute not directly associated with gear is physical strength, and raising this didn't seem to actually change anything in combat. Leveling up has a neglegible impact on combat with every character stepping up through the same present 30 HP tiers. The character development, game mechanic-wise, is nonexistant. I really tried to stay engaged with this game after the first few really well done opening acts, but it steadily became more and more apparent that this game has issues that I don't want to be subscribed to. Never noticed the part of the description clearly noting this. And by the way, I found out just now that it was a series. However, the gameplay itself just really turned me away from continuing this series. The sound is especially good with some really well done environment ambience and some really memorable tunes. It really does look nice and as far as I can tell it's all-original.
AVEYOND LORD OF TWILIGHT POLTERGEIST SERIES
Just finished part 1 of this series and boy am I drowsy.Īveyond has a lot of things going for it with some really pleasant sound design, excellent graphics (for a 16-bit style RPG) and fairly interesting characters with some decently writen parts. In the end, it is a game made by only a few people, enthusiastic about old school rpg's and it shows.
AVEYOND LORD OF TWILIGHT POLTERGEIST DOWNLOAD
I've also researched a little bit about this series and found out, that all parts of the "Orbs of Magic" series (this is part 1 of 4) are already available for download at for 10.99USD, though i recommed getting the game during a Steam sale or promotion, as the standard price is set a little bit too high. If you are someone who needs a lot of options in the options menu and are more used to modern style games, you will be disappointed.īut, If you are looking for a classic turn based RPG experience, I can recommend this game to you. The story (2h in) is written well enough to keep me interested.īoth keyboard and mouse controls are viable.Ĭombat is simple with a classic turn based system. The sound is also restricted to On/Off with no option to choose a specific level.īutton remapping is also a thing dearly missed by me. Windowed is not recommended because of the resulting low resolution setting. This is noticable from the beginning, as the 'Options' menu is the bare minimum. It shows it was not made with a budget to speak of. If you like these games, you will like this one. If you have already made experience with RPG Maker games and found them decent enough, you will find this game decent.
