Hello everyone! In this RPG Maker Let's Play, we take a look at the cinematic and beautiful world of "Shadow Star" by Grapeape Games. All we can say is "Holy Shit!"

This is one of the best games we've ever played in RPG Maker. It's got a powerful and epic opening, a strong cinematic sense, great mapping, solid characters, and is well balanced. We really cannot say enough good things about it.

There are a few places the game can improve, though. First, the dialogue gets a little heavy in some places and can be simplified. Second, there are too many anachronisms from our world that don't fit a fantasy world. And third, there are a few instances where things don't make sense (such as the main character not knowing about the hero that grew up in this town).

But don't let those minor things detract from this game. We fully intend to play this game offline more and enjoy it. We recommend it to anyone who really loves games in the vein of Final Fantasy and Lunar: The Silver Star.
