RPG Maker Let's Play - Aimi no Toraburu - Game Critique
10#rpgmaker #rpgmakermv #rmmv
Hello and Happy Holidays everyone! In this RPG Maker Let's Play, we try to survive the world of Aimi no Toraburu, a short horror demo by Toasty-kun (RPGTime). This was an entry for the IGMC.
Quite atmospheric and leaning on the Japanese Tengu mythology, this game utilizes gore-based horror to scare the player. The soundtrack is quite creepy, and both the look and feel reminded us of Corpse Party. With some horrific custom artwork, this could be really unsettling.
There is a section of the game where the player chooses which path to go, and thus which NPC to interact with, which adds a realm of branching possibilities to the story.
The controls are fine, but there are random places where the player cannot walk: small cracks on the ground that are marked as impassable terrain. From time to time, the critical path is marred by inexplicable graphics, something that again can be fixed with custom sprites, etc.
Aimi's degradation is too sudden, and thus feels forced. Her return, while foreshadowed appropriately, happens to nonchalantly; however, if the plan is for her to turn and recover repeatedly over the course of the story, that may not be a problem.
There are a few other minor issues, but most of them are easily fixed in beta-testing.
The puzzles are perfect: not too hard and not too easy. Good job!
Overall, this is a fantastic beginning to a game, one that has a lot of potentials. Can't wait where Toasty takes this next!
