I've had a couple of runs through this game now and in whole I've had a lot of fun. There's a couple things that I'd like to see more of in future episodes, and I'm fairly certain that the dev intends to explore those in detail in later episodes, which I'm definitely looking forward. The music is good, the assets are good, the maps are fairly refined, it's a good game and I've had fun with it :)

About the Game

Tension has been building for millennia, and war is on the horizon. At the center of the war, a small family tries their best to find each other, to be there for each other.
Familia tells stories from relatable characters in an unrelatable world. Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and others seek to take back what's rightfully theirs from the oppressive Empire.

The Father
The mysterious man awoke in the desert, not knowing who he was. Will he find his way home?
Koko, The Daughter
Constantly assumed by others to be harmless, Koko exudes limitless potential. Despite being an intellectual genius, she lacks physical strength compared to the rest of her family. She spends most of her time with her Grandma, whom she adores.
Poki, The Son
Poki is a martial arts prodigy who longs for acknowledgment. When not looking after Koko, he trains constantly. He feels he should be deployed on missions with his famed father despite being a teenager.
Keeria, The Mother
Keeria is considered by many to be one of the world’s greatest assassins, a title she does distains. She wants to live in isolation with her family for the rest of her life. She has sworn off fighting, but she may be unable to uphold her vow.

User Reviews
This game has an awesome old school retro Final Fantasy feel to it. Its has a nice flow and is easy to pick and play right after you download it. The developer is very active and streams the building and fixing of anything anyone finds wrong in the game. The developer does live streams where he debugs the game and shows off the mechanics. He is very open to ideas and suggestions that fit into the narrative he has laid forth.
This game has been an amazing journey to witness. I have spent a lot of time watching the very transparent game making process by the developer, Joseph Abraham. He has a dev stream on Twitch that has been very active, showing the thoughts behind choices made in the development, fixing of bugs, and fine tuning encounters and graphics. The game is a callback to FF games of old, and I've had a great time sharing the genre, pixelart, and game development with my kids through this project. Kudos to Joseph and all that he represents, looking forward to what he does next and continues to do with Familia.
Proudly made with RPG Maker MV, this game boldly states in the credits. It is true, and it is proud! It is also good. An excellent little throw back project that will make you remember jrpgs of old!
I've spent an embarrassing amount of hours on jrpgs in my life, and Familia is such a fun throwback for me!! The gameplay draws you in and the dialogue and characters keeps you invested. Would like to try and watch the developer stream at some point too.
This game is the beginning of a new epic, in the short 16 hours I have played it all I can think about is where this story could go, and where it will take me. Playing the base game was immersive and wholesome to say the least. From reuniting a family of strong warriors to fending off a tyrannical empire, it is a rollercoaster of emotions that leaves you wanting another ride time and time again. And thus, Plus Mode offers to suffice until the next leg of the journey is developed. With new loot, harder bosses, and a dense lore to dissect. I can not wait to begin another adventure with these lovable characters and delightful soundtracks. Note to the wise: Train hard before taking on the bonus boss, MOTHER! Don't forget to share reviews here and join the Discord to discuss lore theory and compare playthroughs @ Familia RPG. [;
I played this for an hour. The music is well placed, the battles while the aspect of random battles are annoying the fights are easy enough. I enjoyed the characters. They are supprisingly diverse. I do hope the battle will not be dependent on one strong character and one weak character later in the game. It it a pleasant mix of game elements. It is likened to ff6 but I would say it has it own unique place, and after my second hour of playing it I am pleased with my purchase.
You can see how much work has been put into this game, it's really good story telling and effects. Can't wait for act 2!
Very well made game. Enjoy the fresh graphics. I am finding out though that the enemy to player combat is a little off balance from the start. Enemies are at a much higher level than the player. Even on normal mode. Still, the game is really a work of art.
So I have played about 4 hours of this and not finished it, but have loved every minute of it. (A very interrupted 4 hrs with a couple of starts too! haha) This is a game made by a passionate dev, and it shows! He listens to his little community of Familia fans, and is constantly improving the game, fixing bugs, and adding content. It has never been a better time to try this wonderful turn-based game! It has a neat story, and a bunch of little achievements you can go for as well. If you don't like random battles, this game does have them, but it doesn't feel too overwhelming. It is great for the quick players who want to try and beat the game as fast as possible, it is great for those who like to explore, and follow the story. It also has a game+ mode! Definitely check out this game if you are a fan of old school rpgs, and get to know his Twitch community as well!
