Solenars Edge Rebirth

I really tried with this game, because it's oddly compelling in a what not to do in a game, yet let me see what happens next way. First of all, the mapping is atrocious, with vast expanses of nothing, but lines of rocks or trees making you zigzag through the vast expanses of nothing. Towns mostly, as far as I played, have houses with no doors or you can't go in--or, as in one town, they are just giant rectangles of nothing. There is nothing to explore; you just follow a linear path. It took me over an hour to get out of the prologue, and I still don't really have a clue what's going on. You can only save when you come across save crystals, which normally wouldn't be a problem, but they are sparse. I went through tons of dialogue, opened a book, and apparently my character got sucked into some vortex never to be seen again. Game Over. Granted, the book did ask if I wanted to open it, but being curious. . . Unfortunately, that meant going back through about 5 minutes or more of d...

This game isn't like any other RPG I've played before. First, it starts off with a 4th wall breaking tutorial that makes you think the story will be filled with a lot of humor. However, after completing Balthus Requiem, you'll find out that the plot is actually really dark and deep. With several tragedies affecting the characters, that funny intro will feel like the game is messing with you. Pros +Interesting and different characters +A variety of minigames +A captivating plot +Good soundtrack +Retro vibes +Great gameplay Cons -You can only save the game when you find Crystals Overall, this is a nice RPG with several hours of gameplay and a compelling narrative that will keep you asking for more until you complete it.

Rich History, Good fighting mechanics. Producer went trough alot of years with this game. Has 15-20 hours gameplay. You will not be dissapointed if you like old school rpg games. try it out atleast. If u see this on sale then go for it ^^

Solenars Edge Rebirth is a garbage-tier RPGMaker game, featuring a progression of dozens of characters you can hardly care about going through a more-or-less strictly linear adventure across poorly-drawn maps. Unlike the previous similar game I reviewed, Fateholders of Tetsoidea, Solenars Edge Rebirth is much longer, takes itself far more seriously, and uses a bunch of plugins to customize the game system. Unfortunately, none of those things ends up really being a point in its favor. First off, the only real positive is the story. It's an... attempt at telling a fantasy epic, and is easily the best part of the game. Unfortunately, it's also poorly-written (in the sense of being full of typographical and grammatical errors) and full of stupid turns of event. A few of them work, but in a better game the story here would be a weak point. "Actually, the first evil king you killed was a fake, go kill the real one." was probably the worst part, in that it still sticks in my mind a few days ...

I have one major problem with this game: the inability to backtrack - at all. I went out into the field and encountered enemies that poisoned me, as I hadn't any means of curing it I tried to go back to the recent town only to discover that this is impossible. I got this game because I had played and enjoyed Solenar's Edge Heroes, which is mostly just arena fights and has no story but fun mechanics.

Classical RPG created on the RPG Maker, but why it should be purchased? It's great for starting an introduction to the genre, because the game is simple, and there are no difficult and illogical moments. History and the plot are transparent, and it is interesting to observe their progress. The world is very well developed, many NPCs with which you can interact, a lot of side quests that do not force you to grind.
