I have no idea why I decided to make this game...

...Anyway, Death Wish the RPG is a short game influenced by the movies featuring the late Charles Bronson. (If you have no idea who he was, Charles Bronson (November 3, 1921 - August 30, 2003) was an American actor best known for his "tough guy" image. He was often typecast as a gunslinger and had a cool moustache sometimes!).

The game is influenced by the death wish movies. It iis set in the 1970s in a fictional town where crime is at an all time high. The main character, Paul Kersey (Bronson), one day comes home to discover that his wife has been brutally murdered *Gasp*. The useless Police do not find her killer/killers.

As a result Kersey becomes an emotional wreck and decides he will do something himself. He rents an apartment in a seedy part of town and becomes a vigilante, killing criminals to get over the death of his wife...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-There's no demons in this game, no magical swords, dragons or pink haired girls with silly names, just Bronson and a bunch of guns.

-I used music from the actual soundtracks, and most of the characters in the game have been taken from, or influenced from the movies (There's 5 of them, movies that is).

-I was going to use just parallaxes as background, but got lazy halfway through. I spent about a week making this. SO yeah...

-If you feel like playing, let me know what you think and what I can do to improve.

The very first VXV game I really liked. Nothing else is needed go on play it

Thanks :)
got around to playing and beating it...and I gotta say this game rules, it went by too fast though.

I don't think this is the first time a Bronson iconograph appeared in a video game, they made a Great Escape game for Ps2 I always wanted to play (it had you for the most part running around as Steve McQueen which is cool in and of itself) but never got around to buying. (http://www.gamespot.com/pages/image_viewer/boxshot.php?pid=914501)

Anyway back to Death Wish, the character sprites, face graphics, and music are great. This game can really be used as a template for making RPG versions of great films. For instance, I was watching Rocky IV the other day and thought, "this needs to be a RPG," there's so many great films that would make fun little 2 hour RPGs.
I also did play and beat this game, however, I thinking of reviewing it because it's so manly (and has kick-ass music). It'd be a pretty harsh one though, since, even though it's entirely conceptual and precisely the right length, it holds a fair amount of issues that I'd address.
like your city style. zombie was your better creation I think.

Thanks man. It was my first try at rpgmaker but i put more time into it.
Oh, yeah! I remember DW3 on ZX spectrum... i was played it back then, and my opinion was "Good idea, but VERY bad realisation. Maybe some years later, when technological level of our civilization will be higher,someone will do it right."... I was just a kid back then, but looks like i was prophetic...
(I really, didn't expect this. Thanks. Game is great!)
Too bad, i haven't watched the movie.
Very good! I love it! My very first VX game, this made me subscribe!

well as insulted that the maker seemingly mocked some of my favorite things :((i love pink haired girls with guns or super human strength :( )
this still has a interesting feel to it
and reminds me of the rpg game based off of that famous shooting
Super Columbine Massacre(had to look it up)which as a game itself attempted to explain how the shooters felt during and b4 the attack
but when you reach the end of the school...dam the game sucks lol...
ranting aside ill give thoughts on thsi when ever i get around to playing it.

yeah it was a pretty big deal

^pictures,info and download but i really dont recommend the game whether the person is easily offended or interested

as a game it self its pretty boring and repetitive
as a...re telling i suppose it got the idea across rather well
but regardless of somethings based off something real or fiction
too me if something is wrong its wrong
noone complains about the yearly cod release which you gun down people for entertainment :/
Finished it up just now.

I liked it. As a game by itself, it's rather average, but I still really like how well the franchise was translated into this game, since I watched all of the films at my gramp's house years ago and they were quite entertaining.

Buy it off the gun shop owner for 300g.

Anyway, short urban game. Extremely similar to Zombie survivor X, which is longer and has a zombie theme to it. Gameplay/mechanics/setting are also exactly the same as Zombie Survivor X. Feels just like an old school bad ass hero type of movie. Got killed a few times because plot is not synchronized with player levels, so you might have to grind a bit. However, enemies do not respawn so you wont have to shuffle around like a pokemon trainer or anything, it's pretty fair.
I enjoyed the Death Wish movies a lot (even tough all the sequels to the first part were just rehashed, violent shit but at least very entertaining one). I'm a huge Bronson fan indeed so this was a "must-play" for me.

I got to admit the idea to convert these movies into an rpg is pretty cool. Sadly there is no real depth whatsoever. You included a lot of cool quotes from Kersey, which I liked but you could have made up a few own ones too.

@Shayoko:
The Super Columbine Massacre came up to my mind too while playing which was not a bad thing. What bothered me was the lack of gore (the one in the intro doesn't count). The Death Wish movies were extremly violent so why don't include some bloodshed? I hope it's not because you were to lazy to pixel some corpses!

I guess the awsome soundtrack made up for most of my complaints. It's just classic!
After all one could say that it's a conversation which doesn't try to be much more than that. Still if you liked Death Wish, you should check this one out! ;)
