About This Game

A straightforward Srpg Made With Srpg Studio.

The story begins with an assault on the Nation of Meyr by the forces of the Ranasseh Empire. King Adam sees the castle will not be able to stand and urges his son Prince Abel to flee to the town of Belsar, both for his own safety and to gather reinforcements from King Arthur. He assigns the mage Pascal to go with Abel and protect him on the journey.

Not the greatest but for the price you really have nothing to lose. I'm only on Scenario III but that should encompass the majority of gameplay features.

Pros:
-Does well to capture the gameplay of RPGs like Fire Emblem and Tear Ring Saga
-Plenty of slots for save files.
-Sprites are kind of nice
-Tutorial does its job
-Base Conversation feature
-Adjustable difficulty

Cons:
-Story, while reminiscent of Fire Emblem, does not feel compelling as a result of execution
-Love relationships is rushed
-In-combat talking can be unpredictable and you might miss a text if you hold fast-forward after your turn
-Some names could be better
-*Awful font spacing [EN]
-*Full Screen [F1] appears to be bug out when loading to a new map?
-*Not true 720p, the framerate in battle scenes are choppy
-Portrait cutouts have slight "haloing" around the edges
-Music leaves a lot to be desired, sound effects are generally weak


*Likely a limitation of the SRPG Engine
Story\/Gameplay

The story is your typical enemy invades the hero's homeland and conquers the territory with bloodshed. Nothing too new but let's get to our first "issue." Emperor David catches my eye as an oddball name. While it does have old lore behind it I still find it phonetically weird and clashing a bit with some other names. The dialogue is much what you would expect. It has a slightly upgraded vocabulary (no more dastard) but the **writing is not convincing. Rather it's a bit reminiscent of shadow dragon, being based off a 1980s story, which wasn't very good. The love interest and dialogue was incredibly vague. Gave us no reason to like her and quite frankly it just negatively affected my opinion of both of them. Moreso her since our hero has some redeeming qualities.

The game plays like a tactical RPG, more accurately Fire Emblem. It's pretty faithful and it seems the majority of weapons\/items have infinite durability. That being said I do feel the movement of all units should be reduced by one space, everyone seems to move a bit too far. The map sizes, thus far, haven't been large at all, maps would need to be 1.3x screen size to feel "normal."

The RNG is also unforgiving with weak character growths. Either it's close to some really old FE titles (Gaiden) or taking a page out of Berwick Saga. It'd also be great if we had more characters early on. Main character aside (who will get thrashed by magic) your units are rather squishy and I have to resort to forgotten\/new strategies to work around it. The last time I recall having such an awful comp was in Radiant Dawn. The low growth rates don't make the characters anymore likable. A certain character got no stat raises for over half her level ups (6), pretty awful and none were defense stats either which she desparately needed.

Graphics and Sound
The graphics seem to use a lot of default SRPG assets which are well made in their own right. The sprites in the battle scene reminds me of better GBA FE combat sprites. Animation effects are appropriate. Unfortunately the battle scene looks as if the framerate has been reduced... likely isn't the case but it is needlessly choppy for some reason. The game window is about 720p but with the notable black borders the usable resolution is lower. The amount of black space is beyond overscan. Toggling full-screen (F1) seems to cause problems if I load into a new map. Lastly the outline of character portraits are a bit awkward. As if they were ripped from a white background instead of an alpha channel.

The audio is sorely lacking. The sound effects could use more oomph but are still serviceable. The music does not do the game any favors. Sometimes it's okay like the overworld theme but otherwise I dislike it.Most tracks seem amplified beyond normalized levels (introducing clipping) or added too much compression and then amplified. The classical music, while it makes sense, is rather off-putting. Feels too slow for the pace of battle and doesn't make the game any more immersive.

Conclusion
For $0.99 I didn't know what to expect. It's also a "full game" on version 0.25 [at the time of writing] so that doesn't make much sense either. Most of the issues I came across are related to execution rather than the actual idea itself. I'm playing on normal+, while I don't mind it being arguably difficult I think it's that way for the wrong reasons. Anyways you could consider this "Review" a preview of what the game has to offer.

**Delving into details would definitely bloat this otherwise lengthy "review"

Updated 1800 EST: Clearer grammar. My early review of the game sums it up like this:
PROS: Interesting story, amazing music, various options, nice map designs
CONS: Tutorial map has a bug in which you cannot heal your character despite message saying you can, cannot full screen the game, no Mac version.
I highly recommend buying this game if you are interested in what SRPG Studio can do. This games serves as an excellent benchmark!. This is a reimagining of the Pelorian Wars RPGMaker game into more of a tactical RPG. It is slightly more streamlined and straightforward. Would recommend.. That \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665in P O W E R P O I N T though
sold.. This game is similar to Fire Emblem,actually I have played Fire Emblem, oh Steam lets me bring back many pleasant memories which I forgot.
Although this game's map is not wide, but you can feel free in this game.. I sold some Steam cards for this, and man, what a deal that was! It might be the best deal in the history of deals, maybe ever.

This game is an incredible value for its price. It plays just like Fire Emblem, and has top notch writing. The choice of classical music for the soundtrack is also really, really great and enhances the atmosphere quite a bit. The characters are also very well done and have good history and motivation.

I haven't finished it yet, but so far the quality is outstanding. At the time of this review, I just finished Scenario 7.

Yeah, I recommend this. Great game for an incredibly low price!. This is a tactical rpg that is constantly getting updates that fix issues and improve the quality of the game over time. It is similar to what you would expect from an SRPG studio game in the early game, with two chapters being outright copies of the maps from the sample game SRPG Studio gives you to experiment with. Later on, however, the game grows in quality and becomes an enjoyable experience.

The only serious negative I have is towards the stats in the game. The game doesn't explain any of them and the only reason why I figured which ones influenced which is because I had a copy of SRPG Studio and played a ton of Fire Emblem.

Overall, I like this game. For such a low price, you get a decent tactical rpg with multiple routes.. \udb40\udc21


Some ideas and new branching paths:
Hi everyone,

I know that I always say that I want to retire but I recently played a lot of JRPGs with a generation system and I thought that it would be nice to implement a path involving children of the characters.

Here is my ideas:

It involves the Path C where the cult of Brax wins, and I think it may be a little too dark even for my taste. Dark Abel enslaves and rapes girls (Ami, Rachel, etc.). Cain will be Abel's son, gameplaywise you will choose his mother, his stats and skills will depend of his mother. Issal and Sybil (which are siblings) will also have children (Sin and Blossom). Sarah will be Drazini's granddaughter and a light magic user. Finally David and Abigail's daughter will be Awan and also Cain main's love interest.

Storywise, the children grew in the cult and developed a strong aversion for it. Especially Cain who have seen her mother defiled and violated at a young age. Drazini mastered the dark arts, found a time travel spell, but he strictly fordid its use. As you guess the children will use it to stop the cult of Brax and their parents even if it means that it will erase their existence.


To be honest, I am busy right now and I have a lot of games to play so I guess it will have a very low priority but the game already feels complete.

Regards,
David N.. progress and pointless talk...:
Hi everyone,

first the game is progressing well, I will make an update soon (v2.1) and it will only miss the path E and the modification of the alternate path A (so 6 maps). Once I am done I will name the final version v1.00F so stay tuned! I will also change the trailer to reflect the changes!

I am quite excited by some news. The first one is the release of SRPG Studio in english on steam!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/857320/SRPG_Studio/

The software is awesome and I can't wait to see what kind of games people will make! I will make a steam review as soon as I get the software!

The second one is the release in 2019 of Vestaria Saga in english on steam by Kaga himself!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/694770/Vestaria_Saga/

I played it in japanese and overall the game is very polished. I don't know japanese so I can't say much about the writing/scenario. But while I think that Kaga's games are a lot better than recents F♥♥♥ E♥♥♥♥♥ in term of characters/setting/writing. Kaga's approach to gameplay is so old fashioned and only aimed at hardcore gamers. In this day of modern gaming I think this is truly a mistake because you can make a hardcore yet accessible game at the same time, how? By proposing difficulties choices! But Vestaria Saga has none of it (though there is an option that gives you bonus stat for your characters). I was stuck and didn't finish it because the game was too hard and there is nothing more frustrating than that! Still I can't wait to play more Kaga's games!

Thank you for your support,
and I hope you enjoy the game,
David Nguyen.. Some news:
Hi everyone,

I am still working on the game and there will be major changes to come.

The most important change is the restructuration of the chapters:
It will be :
Tutorial-> Path A (Alliance)
-> Path B (Battlefield)
-> Path A bis

Unlock Path C (Chaos): finish path A
Unlock Path D (Democracy) : finish Path B
Unlock path E (Enforcer) : finish Path A bis
Unlock path F (Future) : finish Path C

I finally understand the experience points formula and have adjusted it.
It is nearly the same except you gain less exp for defeating leader, or using wands. When your level > enemy's level, you gain really less exp. It encourages player to play more characters and discourages power levelling. Many gameplay adjustment (Lv 22, weapons rank, reworked growth rates for characters, etc.). Better IA, when a enemy unit of a group engage battle, the group will automatically engage as well.

Regards,
David N.. Another update and the end!?:
Hi everyone,

here is an update, the content are:
- portrait of common enemies now has their battle sprite;
- a line of description for important characters are in the character screen;
- the skill Double Strike was bugged, it now works as intended and makes the game more balanced since it was useless in older version.
- small adjustments here and there (a character has a new battle sprite).

I haven't fully playtested it but since there are no major change, it should work and play well. Now concerning the ultimate difficulty "inferno". I still hesitate to add it since:
- only half of the maps will be harder than the hard+ mode;
- it will only appeal a very few gamer.

I grow very tired of this project, I have tested it so many times that the experience become dull and annoying. The kickstarter is a failure and will be canceled. Finally there will be the return of the bundle of my two game! My previous game The Peloran Wars is heavily flawed and a bad game IMO but think of it is a "bonus prototype" to see the process to making Clarent Saga.

I won't participate in future steam sales, if you want to play my game, by all means buy the bundle!

I can't thank players enough for their kind encouragement and support,
I had fun making games and I hope people will enjoy playing my games.

So long,
David Nguyen.. v0.97c!:
Hi everyone!

A gamer has streamed my game on youtube here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O67Smugga2k

Watching him play I think my game may be a bit hard so
I have made somes change on the difficulties:
Normal+/Hard+: No change
Normal: you get the reanimate staff in scenario 14 which can revive one fallen ally.
Very Easy/Easy/Normal/Hard: Easier scenario 15 as the AI has been changed (south force will only move once Brenda is defeated). Easier scenario 17 as the assassins and rangers squads have swaped their position and AI, assassins will only attack enemies in their range and it is also a lot easier to keep John alive if you want.

Little edit: the extra menu has now contents (music, gallery, characters and glossary).

I hope you enjoy the game! When I have enough sales I will make Steam Trading Cards too! Also Note that the cheapest price of the game will be 0.49$!

Thank you for your support!
David N.
