Note! First of all i have changed many stuff from my previous reviews so bare with me.

 

Gameplay:

The GamePlay is so similar to payday the heist which is a really good game in terms of online Co-op. Legacy goes there but without Online CO-OP and it has no A.I ally and it's really boring without your mates but this is just a demo and it's not ready and i understand that. but overall it's great! i like the Gun Play which is from the Hope Afloat Framework and it's great! the A.I is good when everything in the first level is dark and the zombies don't see you, until you turn on the light. Brilliant! but the HUD is boring. it uses the Resident evil one i hope you change.

 

 

Graphics:

I don't know but the Graphics could use a little polish such as more light effects when you turn on the lights.

 

also the Enemy graphics could use a huge update since they all look the same and is really boring to even care. i didn't really enjoy the graphics to much. i think the best graphics i seen is in the Main Menu and the selection.

 

Mapping:

To be honest the mapping didn't impress me too much. i mean the first level is not bad but i think the map should be bigger for a 2D action game.

 

There's not much detail in them but they're not bad maps they just need more details that's all.

 

Eventing

it's great no exception for this game they're well made and i have to say that even though they have some glitches it works pretty well i just wish that the zombies spawned without entering and area, your should probably make a Zombie generator. every 30 seconds 2 new zombies appear? perhaps?

 

 

THE VERDICT

Even though this is a Demo and still in the works and takes a really good game into a 2D representation.

 

it could use more tweaking on the maps.

 

i like how voices are implemented into a RPG maker game.

 

PROS

VOICE breifing

addictive

Stragedy

Nice A.I

Good Gunplay System

ZOMBIES!

 

CONS

Poor Map Details

Enemys do no Respawn fast (i Finished the game without new enemies attacking)

Boring HUD

Fairly easy

 

 

RATING 8.0

 

Reviewers note

Tom, This game has potencial. i had a bunch of fun and made me want to Play PayDAY on the PS3.

 

i do remind all of the Community that this is my rating and if you really liked the game you give it your rating. a game is a game when it's fun.

 

I gave this game an 8 out of 10 but this is a DEMO and can be changed at all times.

 

Peace out!

Game Review for The Hidden City of Arcatis

 

I want to order a game with action and adventure.

oh and a nice taste of music please!

 

Name: The Hidden City of Arcatis (Demo Version)

Engine: RMXP

Author: Bob423

Genre: Action RPG, Fantasy, Adventure

 

Story

First of all, the story is so slow at the start. it doesn't take its time to explain the story which is a downpoint for me. but there's something i like, is that you actually care for the characters. for instance the main protagonist (which by the name is Default is Bob and your buddys Joe and Cathy. you can rename your characters at start) is a young man who is really positive in many stuff and to be honest Bob actually keeps me satisfied as a character. the others as well.

 

Gameplay: What can i say? this is actually the best gameplay i have ever experianced! the battle system is just dynamic and works well when you have your buddys with you. they will engage the enemy automaticly so your almost never alone. this is actually the core of this game and it works out perfectly. also Bob isn't the only playable character you can freely change character which is fun cause each character has a diffrent ability depending on what you choose for that character. i have to say the Boss Battle are quite difficult so make sure to bring some potions and use everyones abilities. to be honest i didn't experiance the game over screen more then once that's because i wasn't careful. this game does requiere some skill so becareful what you do.

 

Graphics:

 

Not much to say about the graphics, it uses the RPG MAKER XP RTP so don't expect diffrent graphics, aldo even though it uses the RTP Graphics there's something that looks diferent. lets say the Textbox has a graphic of what character is talking and at times the character has diferent faces which is nice since you know what expression the character has. there's also other diferent graphics. which does looks great.

 

 

Eventing:

Well there's is a lot of dialog and the Eventing is Great but not solid.

aldo there's a mini-map which helps a lot also i can destroy some objects with my sword or with an ability. there's a lot of enemies that keeps me entertained. there's isn't much but i do like it most of the part.

you can heal yourself with a circle on the ground which a relieve since sometimes i am in low health.

 

Mapping: 

First of all there's are bad mapping in the start, level designing is important. i thought the the game was going to be a nice gameplay game with bad mapping. i was wrong, since there's some maps full of detail and not so linear. i liked some maps some i loved and others that i hated.

the maps are not to shabby, infact they're great in therms of outdoors. indoors just eh..

 

Music/Sound: (New section)

The sound is ok, not too impresive but it's nice for some places.

but it's not about the sound it's about the Music!

a game needs music. another place where this game has. the music maybe not original but it fits very well. when it's adventure in the field, or a boss fight The Hidden City of Arcatis has great soundtrack ripped off from Zelda, Metriod Prime, Pokemon, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, etc.

which makes the game stand out for itself.

 

 

VERDICT

 

I had Tons of fun with The Hidden City of Arcatis. i really like it, it does have some issues like graphics but most of it is well made.

 

You all should play this great game! you won't regread it.

 

Remember that i will give this game my Rating, so if you want to give it your own rating make sure to play the game and rate it for yourself.

 

 

PRO:

Charming Characters

Music

Gameplay wise

Lots of enemies

some Great Maps

 

Cons:

RPG MAKER XP RTP Graphics

slow story

not much events going around.

some sloppy maps (at the start)

 

SCORE:9.3

when you say "what if you dont like the review" you make me worry.

thanks, i'll try to work on my inside maps. and one reason there aren't very many events is because there are already enemies everywhere, and more events will cause lag. especially during battle. And that little circle is a save point. the first one you see is explained when you walk on it, but i'm going to have all of them explain it no matter which one you step on first. (and then none of them after that)

owo Since you posted this on the Game Jam page, I think I'd like a review! If you have the time, of course.

 

GameType: Demo

Game Engine: RPG Maker XP

Game Author: Kitsuki (me) and Naoto (GermanyXItaly1000).

Game Genre: Action? Maybe fantasy (in the future, not in demo)

Game Page: http://www.gdunlimited.net/games/insanitalia

Author's Comment: Note that this is a fangame! I think that in the future that anyone can play this, but the only need-to-know info is that the characters are all personifications of nations. That's why they're addressed as "America" and "Italy", which can be confusing for someone not familiar with Hetalia the anime. :) Everyone except the waiter in one scene is a personification.

 

Also another note that the game has changed very much since the demo released a year ago! Just to let you know :D

I'll glady review it. I will take everything into account in my game session. However due to the time constraints on my activities from time to time. This review will take some time to write. I will have it somewhere this month.
