This is the only RPG Maker I've tried so far, but it's an amazing piece of software. It's amazing the power that RPG Maker has to create RPGs with no coding necessary.

There's plenty of community-created assets that you can use (depending on commercial/non-commercial use) that are fantastic, and really help with making your game take form.

All in all, I have not regretted my purchase of RPGVXA, and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to create anything from a quick short game, to a detailed story-driven 2D RPG.

Okay, let me preface by saying I haven't written any reviews for a game I've bought on steam - until this one.

This game is so visually stunning, with such beautiful music, and such a compelling storyline. While I already knew I wanted to buy it, I was reading reviews just to see what people thought. I could not keep myself from tearing up at the prologue. One of the most amazing prologues I've seen in a game. The fact that they can produce enough character development within the first ten minutes of the game to bring tears to your eyes is a marvel...

AND OMG, WHY DOES ORI HAVE TO BE SO FREAKING CUTE?! Every time I saw Ori get picked up by Naru, I couldn't help but smile. Has got to be one of the cutest main characters I've seen in a while.

In terms of actual gameplay, the combat system was very well executed, yet still challenging. I love the abilities that you learn throughout it, and the mobility that they offer. The sequences at the end of the dungeons are very difficult, and very fun to beat.

As I've seen some others mention, the game takes about a good 8-10 hours if you search for as many secrets / powerups as possible, which is a great amount of time.

A side note, as others have mentioned. YOU CANNOT PLAY FROM YOUR SAVE FILE IF YOU FINISH THE GAME. If you plan on discovering 100% of the map, finding 100% secrets, etc, do so BEFORE entering the final dungeon.

I can say this is the best 2D Platformer I've ever played. Would HIGHLY recommend.

10/10
