Hello everyone! In this RPG Maker Let's Play, we delve into the world of Dungeon Dreams, a great JRPG up on Kickstarter.

Honestly, this game is amazing, with a lot of thought having been put into the game's flow, with many multiple branches of dialogue and logic. The characters are interesting, the mapping is solid (even with the procedural dungeon) and the execution is easy enough that you can jump into the game almost immediately. The world has shades of the anime Grimgar in it, which only serves to make it all the more gritty and fun. You can literally spend hours in the town talking to people and living their stories.

There are a few problems that need to be addressed before the game goes gold: (1) There needs to be an easy-to-gain starting companion, someone you don't have to jump through hoops to get. We recommend a fellow newbie adventurer who approaches the player at the onset of Day Two. (2) The personalities of the Guild Members (Grant and Shiven aside) are too flat and two-dimensional and need to be flushed out and differentiated (they are all just one thing--hostile). (3) There appears to be too many "you lose" moments in the dialogue trees--as if you are permanently cut off from pursuing a character's story if you make the wrong dialogue choice.

But other than that, this is one of the most polished and well-thought out games we've played in a long time, and we highly recommend and endorse it.
