Onyx

On a whim, I picked up this cheap RPG that came out not even a week before writing this review. Now, I'm against the idea of people charging anything for the games they've made in RPG Maker, but they rarely charge more than $5-$7, which I suppose isn't objectionable. What is objectionable, however, is Onyx. Onyx is about a world where witches are a regular part of life, but are being hunted down and slaughtered like lambs by a rebel sect known as the "Nimrod Brotherhood." Yes, that is what they're called. No, I don't believe they're named after the Biblical Nimrod. I think they're named Nimrod because it's a JOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE. That seems to be half the reason for the game's existence, really. There can't be three lines of dialogue without some character or other cracking what they must think is the wittiest jest in their lifetime, and while some will get a chuckle out of you, others fall flat on their face. Not helping matters is the lack of any editing or spellchecking going into the...

This game is an interesting concept. I mean, it has potential, but... I'm not sure about it. Let's be clear: I bought this game because it has Aldorlea's name on it. Aldorlea tends to put out some great engaging games. Thing is... I think this game needs a guide. Or at least some direction as to how your witch is supposed to get to town... maybe I went the wrong way, but I seem to be several maps deep in a forest of creatures that only threaten me when they gang up on you in droves... I mean, the witch seems interesting enough, and she makes many a wisecrack. The fact that you can rename her helps some, too. But still... I'm not sure I'm going the right way (and said witch is about level 10 at this point)... For now, I cannot recommend this title.

An rpg that takes you back to the old school style of gameplay (that I personally enjoy very much), this offering tells the story of a witch (Rowan or whatever name you choose) that has been robbed and left for dead by a mysterious thief who is part of a larger group of very bad people with evil designs on the world. And, as the story moves along Rowan meets other characters that join her on the overall quest to set things right. As with all of these adventures the story itself is fundamental to the success of the game, and this is one that is interesting and well told. It is direct enough so as to keep the player on track, but there are plenty of diversions and secrets to investigate and discover that you will stay busy and involved. It has that "one more area" pull that the successful titles seem to have. I intended to just take a quick look, and stayed in over two hours. Art work and music are pleasing with an assortment of scenes and themes that help propel the game. Battle encou...

This game suffers from the exact same problems michaelishastitch mentions, plus the keyboard controls are glitchy sometimes and there is a bug when you try to use shift to toggle run/walk.

RPG Maker strikes again! Onyx is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development. This time Andorlea/Warfare/SimProse/whatever other shell account this guy uses to try hide his identity has once more stamped out a painfully generic copy + paste RPG Maker asset f...

Just another RPG game that you should probably avoid.

6/10

Good old school grinder with plenty of secret rooms and hidden items everywhere.
