RPG Maker

"Limits? What are those?!"

I look at this game and see little. Then I brush off my closed-minded views and plunge in. Then I see what this has to offer...and that is ALOT.


Alot is an understatement because the game isn't limited to RPG's as one would think. Oh no no, break down those barriers because this game has it all!

The graphics are topnotch 2D graphics. It doesn't get any better than this. There's a lack a music(only about 30 tracks), but it's not too inhibiting because the music is good! The anime maker is far from hard to handle when it comes to character making. You can easily make a new character for your game in an hour or less. I must admit that the small amount of original montsers and tilesets are staggering at first, but to overcome that just become creative and learn new ways around the small problems. The game has a small library of Sound Effects, which can't be edited. But, no worries, the sounds are great and should fit a number of situations. Along with this impressive package also comes the ability to edit items/characters/monsters/magic/monster appearances/title screens/and whatever else you can think of('cept those darn sounds and music!)

But, onto my original topic, the limitless powers of this game. You can make action games using simple events and other mechanics. You can do practically anything you want to as long as you put time into it. And ya know what? When you're done you can LEGALLY sell them as long as you have the RPGMaker logo and you've notified Agetec(this is printed in the manual. I'm not making this up.)


All in all this is a powerful device and a very flexible one to boot! If you're creative do not let this gem pass you by. It truely is a masterpeice!
