DEEP 8

All I can say is "Wow this game is so cool!" It has been a long time since a JRPG has hooked me. The game can be a little bit grindy at times. I don't normally like grinding, but it wasn't that bad in this game. Sometimes in maps you have to backtrack quite a bit to figure out the puzzles. Combat is difficult but not impossible, it kept me entertained/didn't feel boring at all. The game is advertised as a sci-fi, but it's more of a sci-fantasy (which is totally cool too!). It's obvious the developer put a lot of time and effort into this game. Some of the cinematics in the game really immerse the player into this universe as well. Some of the sexual dialogue or the slurs, or taking the panties of people out of drawers was kind of weird and I think kind of took me out of the game a little bit, but wasn't a dealbreaker or anything. It made more sense though once I found out about Ramirez's troubled family history though. The character models are kind of funny, they're kind of "unc...

DEEP 8 is a grand and ambitious Sci-Fi RPG with a very personal story amidst a vast space as well as a great war. In DEEP 8 you play as the perverted and effeminate Ramirez and his band of misfits during a war lead by the Droons. It is Ramirez' and Melings job to desperately find a way to turn the tables all the while battling with their very own and personal issues. The characters are all very memorable and interesting right down to the side characters. The writing - especially if you play the game in English - can be a bit wonky at times, but personally that just adds to the charme of the game, as it strikes the perfect balance between campy and serious. Bundle that with cinematic and well-produced cutscenes and beautiful setpieces and you have yourself a great presentation. Quick disclaimer though: The game takes on real life problems as well as taboo-topics in a really direct and blunt manner (i. E. discrimination, slurs, etc.) and I can see how that might be problematic to some, ...

I'm leaving this review because the developer has beautiful long hair

Deep 8 has a 90s jrpg feel to it and takes place in a gritty setting. The worlds are well-built and the combat and skill mechanics are unique and allows you customization. The story is hard to predict and interesting. I'm enjoying it.

Ok so this one is abit tricky to review, I did refund this game, that said I do recommend it. Pros: -Very Strong personality, like one of the strongest ive seen, this game has heart. -Traditional Jrpg turnbased mechanics. -Interesting skill tree, i particularly loved some of the spells like.. FloorFart... -Fast forward options x3 and x10 -Very well thought out puzzle design, the first dungeon has a few puzzles and they are better thought out than most AAA games nowadays, I wont go into detail for spoilers but I really did enjoy them. -Character personality, this is a big one for me, most games... probably as much as 99.9% of games will have character dialogue, but you never know what your characters are thinking, its one of the ways that video games and movies are still inferior to books, however this game addresses that complaint of mine. You ALWAYS know what the character is thinking as when they give their normal dialogue there is also a blue parenthesis section in there as well...

Deep 8 is a highly individualistic RPG-maker-like game. It touches a lot of disturbing topics and therefore is not suitable for children. For me, it was a highly-enjoyable ride in which I admired the way that topics were treated that haven't been elaborated on much in games so far. While the first 20-30 minutes of the game didn't get me hooked and I struggled a little with the (in my opinion) ugly character design (it was good to replace the original renders with pixelated ones), there was soon a moment in which it became quite evident how dark and also creative this game would be. From an interesting combat system, via cool riddles and highly-memorable characters and impressive world-building till great twists, Deep 8 had really a lot to offer and I will remember it as one of the best rpg-maker-like games that I've played so far (and those have been quite a lot). It is hard to sum the game up without spoilers, so let's just call it a surprising, dark and weirdly enjoyable odyssey th...

I really enjoy playing Deep 8 and will definitely recommend it to anyone who wishes to play it.

[h1]Finally a great modern JRPG for a sophisticated target group[/h1] Just to make that cIear: I've played the Demo of "Deep 8" previously and all my impressions are based on it, so you don't need to wonder about my miniscule playtime for the full game right now. The actual demo I played for about 8 to 9 hours. Up to this date, this is probably one of the most technically impressive games that were ever created with one of the legacy RPG-Makers. A lot of effort was put on graphical fidelity like particle effects, several backgrounds of parallax scrolling, 3D-modeled ingame "cutscenes". Tons of animations, everything was made from scratch as it seems. Asides from a few sound effects perhaps, everything is completely original and independed from the core-assets of the RPG-Maker. Combined with it's Sci-Fi Setting, which isn't seen that much for turn based JRPG-styled games, the game shines bright with unique identity. Either you're fond of it or not, but this is clearly a labour of l...

A nice little RPG with a good feel to it!

DEEP 8 is a really good sci-fi rpg maker game that makes me think back to my younger days. Although the game is obviously meant to appeal more to the adult audience due to the themes it addresses. Throughout much of the game there is a good sense of progression in both character development and story. The end, however, is a little abrupt. I like both the combat and the ability system very much, which overall almost always leads to exciting fights. The allusions to other games also put a smile on my face from time to time. To my taste, there could have been a little more late-game content, but all in all, it's a really good game that I would recommend without further ado.
