Soul's Heaven Review
Great Potential... With A Few Unattractive Qualities.
Review by phenixryte23
To begin with the game seems to have great potential and a very interesting story to it. Although a few factors creep up now and then.
The game's story seems as though it could go a long way especially with the promise of so many characters. Although the introduction to the game seems a little random. I mean think about it how many people would just decide to save some guy they never even knew from the army or whatever? Seems a little too here'n'there if you get what I mean.
Although there is a good use of many different resources from different RPG Maker platforms, it seems this is also a downside as they coincide badly together. Having half of the characters twice as tall as the others is a little of-putting. The different SE and BMG used are a good attraction for the game although they do seem to all be from either the default program or square-enix games. Many features, including the crafting ability, the party feature and bestiary are all big boosts for the gameplay itself.
One of the major downfalls of the game is the lacking of originality, don't misunderstand this game is deffinetly an original idea but many names and character kameos(Dante?) are not so original. Also it seems fairly clear that whoever made this game was a gamesdesigner exclusively as their is no original artwork to be seen anywhere. The sprites too seem to all be default at the exception of the (Dante?) Sprite. No offence meant, and it's a good try, but that sprite does not brim with shiny brilliance. Perhaps I could suggest that the maker commissions someone to make these if he has no time for it? A final and trivial detail, I understand that the maker's english isn't top notch, but could the spelling perhaps be improved, I am very sorry to admit that I did laugh at some of the grammar in this game.
As said a few trivial things, but these small details would improve the gameplay so much from it's already high standard, it goes without saying that the maker must be a very experienced scripter, to say the least.
