Giadon Saga

The Real Deal

Looking at the download count for this game makes me lose hope in humanity.
Gaidon Saga was the second game I made with RPG Maker. Was it an improvement over the first one? Well... It depends on how you look at it. It uses a lot more resources that the first one. It also has a lot of annoying switches, like I really over did it with that mechanic. Only a sadistic human would download this game. A person who hates themselves sooooo deeply that they need to feel the pain of despair. You have been warned.

Background

Giadon is divided into the five elemental kingdoms: Earth, Fire, Air, Water, and Aether. In ancient times there was a war between the kingdoms that almost ripped the very fabric of existence apart. In order to prevent the destruction of all existence the five nations signed a peace contract that has lasted thousands of years.

Main Character and Main Story

Da-Zar is the second son to the King of the Fire people. Da-Zar specializes in Fire Magic and Katana weapon skills. The story of Da-Zar starts out as he tries to protect his home from the ever growing threat of monsters. But as the story progresses he learns of a looming war between the Air and the Water people. Da-Zar must unravel the mystery of who is behind the chaos in order to restore balance to the world.

The story mainly takes place in Firago, the capital of the Fire people. At the beginning of the story there doesn't seem like there is much to do in Firago. As the story progresses more conversations, items, and quests will become available.

Other Characters

Besides Da-Zar, there are up to Eight other playable characters that will join and leave the party through the course of the story. Here is a list of characters early in the game:

• Lei-Won: Da-Zar’s older brother and next in line to become King of Firago. While also specializing in Fire Magic, Lei-Won’s Katana skills differ greatly from Da-Zar’s.

• Hone: A monk with a very humble demeanour. He specializes in hand to hand combat and some restorative magic.

• Sini: As Hone’s wife she is more cheerful and upbeat. Sini doesn’t focus much on attack skills, instead has a wider variety of healing magic.
