Darkness Review
A Horribly Unbalanced BAD RPG!
Review by Logan26
This is probabaly one of the worst RPGs I've ever played.
I have played many RPGs over the years, so I know what I'm talking about.
Let's start with the negative aspects of this game. Yes, there are a LOT of them.
The battle system was probabaly the worst part of this game. Your characters become EXTREMELY overpowered very early in the game. It's way to easy to level up, you gain many techs that are pretty much useless since the majority of the enemies can be beaten with a simple attack.This obviously makes the entire game extremely easy to finish. The enemies drop far too many items as well including stat upgrades.
The towns in this game are a joke. There are very few people, you can't enter most of the buildings, and there are no secrets or hidden places to explore. (As far as I know)
The game mentions that everyone is afraid to leave there homes, but I think we'll blame this on lazy programming.
One of the most important aspects of an RPG is exploration and interesting characters. This game has none of this.
There are no weapon shops, you can't buy or sell anything but items. Why bother buying or selling items though when the enemies drop like 5 items every battle?
You'll be surprised at how much cash you have at the end of the game and nothing to spend it on.
The enemies are really easy as I mentioned, and there is very little difference in the battles you encounter. The same enemies over and over and over....
To me, story is not THAT important but it's still necessary to make a good enjoyable interesting RPG. This games story was decent, but nothing special. I never found myself really getting into it until late in the game.
Positive aspects? Well, yes there are a few...
I enjoyed the boss fights. Even though they were extremely easy to beat just like the normal enemies, they were interesting to see, and most of them had there own music.
Speaking of the music, this game had some great sound effects and music. This game is a rather large file, and this is because there is a large variety in the music. That's always a good thing.
The story did get a little more interesting late in the game. It definitely needed more cut scenes and such though.
It's interesting how the author of this game mentions that he fixed the enemy drops. I can't imagine how bad things were before he supposedly fixed it.
What it comes down to is this. Don't waste your time playing this game. It's truly one of the worst RPGs you'll waste 7 hours on and I'd highly recommend trying another one.
Hopefully the author will learn from his mistakes and do a better game in the future. He does have potential.
2.5 out of 10
