A very strange game made with the RPG Tsukuru XP engine and RTP (Runtime Package). As far as RPGTXP games go, it is certainly quite ambitious. The game, contrary to what one might think, is not an RPG at all. While there are games that use the RPGTXP (or other RPG Maker engines) that aren't RPGs, this is one of the most "complex" ones that I've played.

There was another game that this seemed to be related to known as "おるたなっ！" (Orutanaa!) that was made with the Fighter Maker engine that has characters that are modeled a lot like the ones in this game, but it seems to have been scrapped and this was later made instead.

You can customize the five characters with a small preset movelist and they can go into battle using the skills that you equip them with, but everyone shares the same exact moves, sans for their special attack that can only be used once a battle (it shows their 3D character model close-up). The game seems to have two battles in standard mode, then the ending plays, which makes no sense to me. Actually, the standard mode has a VERY small amount of dialogue, despite the game ending after only two battles, making things make that much less sense...then inbetween the first battle and the second...there is an odd bit with random images...a piano and a reference to a pianist...makes no sense whatsoever, even if it were to be in English. I'm assuming that the story is still being worked on.

The gameplay is also disjointed and uses almost none of what the RPG Maker engine was designed for. The developer states that it is a strange "Fighting game shooter RPG hybrid", but there are no RPG elements. Even stranger, if you beat the tutorial battle, you'll notice that it mentions experience and credits...it will be awesome if you can purchase new skills for battle and get stronger. So far though, that doesn't appear to be the case. Even in the opening movie, there are dialogues being exchanged that never seem to take place in the actual game...one of them have characters that aren't in the game period (maybe from an earlier build or WIP??).

I think the game is still being worked on, so I'll leave it alone. You can get the game at:
