GAMES RELEASED IN 2010

Posts

Pages: first 123 next last
Just thought I'd try to change things up here a little bit, because I was going to make a topic focusing on the latest releases as well as some games that have been swept under the carpet, or at least seem like they were, but then I remembered that there already is a topic here like that!

October

Hottest game: Alter A.I.L.A. Genesis You might even argue this point for all of 2010.
(Author: Neok, Engine: RPG Maker 2003, released October 10th, Completed)
http://rpgmaker.net/games/272/

Average score:

With over a thousand downloads in just two weeks, Alter A.I.L.A. Genesis is putting up better numbers than some of the more obscure commercial games, and it's not hard to see why.

It does have its Guide-Dang-It moments, particularly later in the game. But overall, AAG is a solid RPG that, were it not for RM2k3's faults (and there are many), it would be just about perfect. Platforming is difficult to pull off in RM2k3, but Neok did quite well. You do have to run to jump, which means you may risk getting the enemies' attention, but at least jumps are automatic. Be sure to give this one a try if you haven't already.

Screens, available in 24 different flavors.

Alter A.I.L.A. http://rpgmaker.net/games/268/
(Author: Neok, Engine: RPG Maker 2003, released 2008, Completed)



Featured: Fable of Heroes: Legendary Edition
(Author: Dustsoft, Engine: RPG Maker 2000, released October 18th, Completed)
http://rpgmaker.net/games/2402/

Average score:


We go from a non-traditional platforming RPG to a traditional, old school type RPG.
Okay... 700 years ago, the world of man was a place of peace. People lived their lives without fear, and mankind flourished. It didn't last. A great evil emerged, and laid waste to civilization. Also the main character is sixteen.

Uh-oh. This game sounds pretty dire, doesn't it. Well, maybe what it loses in story it can gain in gameplay. And, thankfully, it does... if you're into Dragon Quest type games, complete with saving only at churches, similar graphics, and its sound effects. Otherwise, you may want to give this one a pass. It isn't for everyone, but it is an average to slightly-above average RPG.

Screens, there are eighteen, count 'em, eighteen of them!

Other games: Don't forget them! Games with less downloads and/or no reviews are FIRST on the list.

project FERO
(Author: arikispencer, Engine: Game Maker, released October 20th, demo)
http://rpgmaker.net/games/2593/ Currently has a very low number of downloads, please play!

Average score:
Review me!

Apparently, this is a very early demo of a turn based strategy game. arikispencer wants to make it better than Fire Emblem, but from the very few screenshots available (only six!), it looks like it's going to be a lot of work for him. The screenshots lack variety, and are VERY empty, as well, but again, this is still very early.

Screens, as I mentioned, there are only six to see.

SAVE THEM!!!
(Author: AmuroC, Engine: RPG Maker 2003, released October 24th, demo)
http://rpgmaker.net/games/2531/

Average score:
Review me!

Okay, the title is in ALL CAPS and has accompanying exclamation points, the game is in RTP, and the mapping is pretty dire. However, it does have some custom graphics. I have to wonder why AmuroC destroyed the original line art with one of the characters, though.

It's supposed to be a comedy type game, but I don't see what's so funny. Also, there are only eight screens total, only six are unique. The Game Over screen is pretty much a palette swap-type thing of the title screen. Also, Hiro is the hero (very unoriginal), and is the son of Dante (meaning Hiro is probably seventeen or younger... sigh) who seems to want to destroy everything he once tried to save.

It is a very early demo, however, so there's still plenty of time to polish this game up. At the very least, AmuroC is trying a different battle system, so watch this game!

Screens, as I mentioned, there are six eight to see.

The DragonSpark Chronicles- The Last Spark
(Author: Xearoth93z, Engine: RPG Maker VX, released October 21st, demo)
http://rpgmaker.net/games/2460/

Average score:
Review me!

I haven't played it, nor heard from anyone that has, as a hint to anyone viewing this list. What I will say is there are only five screens to judge from, and one of those is the title screen. Either this is a really short demo, or the author is trying to hide it from us, which is unfortunate. And if the blog is any indication, you only start with one ability per character. Give us more! Also the main character is sixteen.

Screens, as I mentioned, there are four five to see.

Fire God Saga
(Author: krayg_alynn, Engine: RPG Maker 2000, released October 20th, Completed)
http://rpgmaker.net/games/2568/

Average score:
Review me!

The way the mapping looks, you'd think it was yet another traditional RPG. Actually, the game doesn't even seem to know what it wants to be! At least Crost isn't another teenage hero from some farming village, but he does have some rather... odd company. A cross-dressing effeminate male, Chryson, a maid that hates work, Ayna, and a swordsman with serious issues, Stain. Okay, maybe not THAT weird for an RPG, but it gets weirder.

Screens, there are twenty of them burning in desire for you to see them!

There are still more games out there, of course, I just need time to write up each one, and perhaps even play some of them!


Yet Another Traditional RPG With A Sixteen Year Old Hero
(Author: A, Engine: RPG Maker 2003, released Nulluary 0, demo)

Cancelled)
Other)
http://rpgmaker.net/games/0000/

Average score:
Review me!

Just your traditional JRPG-style game, complete with a sixteen year old hero that starts off in a farming village, that soon gets destroyed by some mysterious bad guy. The hero can't remember his past, and is prone to fits of angst.

Screens, there are three of them for your viewing displeasure.

Also, feel free to submit your own findings! It doesn't matter what site the game came from, unless it is a commercial game that is not by an independent (indie) group, e.g. Aveyond 5 is ok, but Final Fantasy XIII isn't, because it is not an indie or homebrew game.

Next updates are scheduled for October 25-November 18, which will update May, June, August and September listings.
Go ahead and add the Forever's End Christmas demo to the list. I updated it recently to fix a few minor bugs.
This is meant to be a list of all games released in 2010, NicoB. I'll add it to the 2009 list if it isn't there already, however.
That "demo" of Glacia is a Beta of the completed first chapter. The completed version will be released in February.
