woof, terrible.
Too hard and punishing for an RPG Maker game. Died 3 times resulting in restarting the game from the beginning. On my third playthrough, I got both characters to level up which does NOT restore any health. It's simply not fun or interesting enough to bang my head against the wall hoping for a lucky run.
I am 32 years old.
My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old.
When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing.
Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side.
With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.
After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like.
Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends.
Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together.
Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.
Thank you.
gud rpg game ,had fun ,lever puzzle annoying but then again im a dumb.
RPG Maker strikes again!
Remnants Of Isolation is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. The "developers" did add some of their own craptastic pixel "art" assets to this RPG Maker asset flip, all of which look like they were done in MS-Paint by someone suffering from Parkinson's, only worse. Which just goes to show, if you can't do better than the assets you would otherwise be flipping, just.. don't.
As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development.
Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality copy + pasted 2D retro pixel art (or worse), looks awful, and has even worse gameplay. RPG Maker is an absolutely terrible construction kit, and never results in games of any reasonable quality or value to gamers.
Gamers who want a good retro JRPG experience would be better off playing the originals, like Final Fantasy, Star Ocean or Chrono Trigger.
You don't have to take my word about how bad the game is, we can measure the interest in a game by how much people bothered to play it. Remnants Of Isolation has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game absolutely failed to capture any interest from gamers. Every achievement for the game was only attained by around 2 percent of players, who only bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. That's a tiny, tiny proportion of gamers who even bothered with this. Ouch.
Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there's a very healthy spike in player counts for the game. But this isn't consistent with the achievement stats, that show only 2 percent of players bothered playing the game for any reasonable amount of time. How is it possible for this game to have so many concurrent players who weren't even playing the game? Trading cards. Players will use card idling software to collect the cards and sell them, but this won't trigger any achievements in-game. That tells us people only really bought this game for trading cards, and that's a damning indictment of the woeful quality. A closer look at the numbers shows the game just has a couple of players every week running up the game and idling it for cards, then deleting it. The game doesn't demonstrate any true popular appeal with gamers, most likely due to the reasons raised in this review.
Remnants Of Isolation is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend.

challenging game!
An interesting RPG with a original approach on the way you use your skills, and it's not exactly an "easy" game, which makes it a good challenge too. Only sad it's so short ^^
This game remind me of Ico in both the best and worst ways. It's the story of two people locked in the same foreboding castle with the desire to get out together. They even have a language barrier, or rather, Celesta seems to be incapable of speech. Each character has a unique ability for navigating terrain and they have to be used in combination to get through.
However, it takes a willingness to set aside reality to believe that these two people grow so quickly attached to each other in such a short period, even given the fact that they seem to be the only two sane beings left in the castle. Also, like Ico, the navigation of the castle can drag on. There is a complicated mechanism to unlock the final door and it necessitates traveling the length of the entire castle to unlock it.
On a gameplay note, the only gripes I have are that you cannot change the battle order and that when you select a healing item or spell it defaults to Celeste.
Overall, the story is intriguing and the gameplay is solid. It helps as well that there is some beautiful custom artwork. Highly recommend.
relaxing fun game
Story:
Our story begins as a girl is playing on her magical piano when her cell opens. After some exploring, she meets a boy called Melchior who was recently threw into the prison and is thrilled to meet someone who isn't trying to kill him and together decide to find a way to escape.
One if the interesting things about the the story is that the only voice for most of the game is Melchior who tries to be optimistic with his new friend but those feel the dread and is only holding on because of his friend. And while Celesta doesn't talk(either because she's a mute or she doesn't know how) I do like that shes doesn't fully understand whats happening and immediately gets attached to Melchior because he the first person shes ever met and I love her expressions she makes, my favourite is when she looks confused or curious as it just looks cute.
The relationship between the two leads is very sweet and is clearly the "heart" of the story.I mainly see it as true friendship with Melchior telling her about everything he knows and wants to show her and shows and wants her to have a life and Celesta helps supports him and stops him falling into despair and would give her life to make sure he can be happy. This is also seen in gameplay and I'll wait til I talk about gameplay before I explain
And one final quick point is that I really liked the Sentinel but wished the other bosses were had a personality like him mainly his motives and goal made him an interesting anti-villain and his last moments were nice.
Gameplay:
Lets get this out of the way. Yes the game is very short. There's even an achievement for speed running this game in a hour and a half. I don't have a problem with that.
The main feature in this game is the spell fusion and its a very good system and fits with the whole partnership. Just use a characters innate ability followed by a magic card and then watch the fireworks. I would admit this makes the game a tiny bit easy...if it wasn't for almost every enemy hitting like a truck and aren't shy about poisoning the two. I see it as one of the more balanced combat systems I've played as its more about strategy: weaken and attack when possible and turtle and heal in an emergency. And that's the simple way of explaining. I admit there was one boss that was ridiculously easy but I just exploited his weakness. Another was easy for story reasons.
But what shows how hard this game can be is when your alone because even the first fight in the game is brutal by yourself before you get your partner and learn magic. Some people might say this is a bad thing but I like to think of it as Story-Gameplay integration showing how powerful you are together but alone, your as weak as a biscuit in tea.
Presentation:
Lets start with the music. There no doubt the music is beautiful, but I eventually got bored of it. The music Celesta plays on her piano is a lovely song but when I realised the dungeon song was the same song, I just stopped paying attention. Its not bad, just not my kind of music.
The art is pretty good. The two leads and the bosses are all look lovely and are very colourful which contrast the monster which are mostly fleshy things that came from Silent Hill. I liked the character portraits but I wish they were bigger since its just the two of them and Celesta mainly communicates through her expressions and I feel that they were too small for her.
Verdict:
Despite the length this is a nice short story and a pretty good battle system and I don't regret buying it.
9/10
This game was short but extremely enjoyable. The storyline was very compelling but, due to the length of the game, remained unresolved (which I found to be the only con to this game) The combat system was ingenious and I enjoyed figuring out the best way for the two protagonists to alter each other's spells to take out a difficult enemy. The artwork for said protagonists and the enemy monsters was unique and nice enough to make up for the rest of the RPG Maker graphics (the different setting designs for each mini-bosses' area of the castle helped too)
Ultimately, because of how short it is, this game feels sort of like the demo to a longer game that I'd really, really love to play.
A short but fun RPG. The graphics are colourful, the music is nice!
You have two main characters and the girl is silent. She gives enough expression to still make the conversations interactive. A lot of the background story is unfolded by finding notes around the castle.
The battle system is very neat. You have to use the characters together. One to power up and the other to use a spell. Combining different of their abilities causes unique effects. So you have to strategize wisely.
A very interesting game so definitely recommended!
Considering the garbage RPG Maker games I've had to put up with in the past, I can really appreciate a game like Remnants of Isolation which doesn't oversell itself, doesn't try to stretch itself too far from base with gimmicks, doesn't overstay its welcome, and is priced to make you feel like you're getting a great deal. It's a short, sweet RPG that's solid enough on all fronts to keep interest for exactly the two hours (1 hour, 30 minutes if you want the achievement) that it takes to finish.
Pretty bland. uses alot of stock RPG maker parts, a generic "silent protagonist" to save time, and you know. lack of writing skills.
actual in game dialogue is like 50 total lines.
actul story dosent exist. hits you with the egeneric "main character is the cause of this" literally immediately after talking about a "heart of the castle" or whatever.
has some specially drawn scenes, like 3 or 4 of them. but they ALL look terrible. my favorite is how the final boss gets his own little intro image. and it looks absolutely nothing like his in game sprite.
literally copies the main castle map from The Fairy, The Succubus, and The Abyss. dosent even TRY to rearange it any.
gameplay is okay, but to grind monsters(which youll never need to do since every enemy can be killed in at most, 2 hits. final boss included.) you have to leave the dugeon and return. game has no balance whatsoever, as soon asyou get tripple triad or whatever the hell its called, its GG. you win.
its an okay rpg maker generic low effort game. for free. ITS NOT WORTH PAYING FOR. THIS ISNT EVEN UP TO LAXIUS POWER STANDARDS.
Much Loved The Battle System.
The Innate abilities can Power Up the Other Spells.
With this Battle System, it can be Better if This game have more Character.
It's rare that I get to condemn an rpgmaker title for being uninteresting instead of bad, but this one fits the bill.
Remnants of Isolation is a linear dungeon-crawl with a narrative about loneliness and, of course, isolation. The central conflict is over whether or not people can find meaning in each other and deal with these problems and, less importantly, whether folks can escape a giant magical dungeon full of well-rendered megabosses.
The art in RoI is really quite good, provided you limit your definition of "art" to strictly the character portraits and the monsters you encounter in battle. The tileset seems to be largely stock, and looks about as interesting as a slug on pavement.
Music is overall better, with what seems to be a custom soundtrack and decent stock effects. However, the Chrono Trigger victory noise is the soundbite that ends every battle, and I have no idea how that snuck into the finished copy. I'm realtively confident that it still belongs to Squeenix, although maybe it has somehow been opened up for indie developers to use.
Combat is nearly engaging. Your party consists of two characters, each of which has spells and also abilities that amp spells used on the same turn. So, you'll have one character attack with an ability that makes the other character's spell hit all monsters, and then you'll cast fire for AoE damage. Battles still feel grindy, but there's at least a little more substance than mashing your strongest abilities to win.
In summary, this isn't an abominous travesty like Data Hacker is. It's not a sleeper hit like City of Chains or an actual quality title either. It's just okay. Not bad for a first effort on steam, but not particularly worth your time either, even if it is priced accordingly for the content it delivers.
Remnants of Isolation is a beautiful game, not only in its stunning visuals, but in it's emotional atmosphere and moving narrative. It has themes of love and working together that did more than just bring a smile, but also marry them to its core gameplay mechanics.
Playing a lot of RPG Maker games, Remnant's of Isolation's combat system felt like a slight breath of fresh air. The way mana works in this game and the unique spell chaining/combo system allows each battle to feel way more engaging than in typical RPGs. Both party members really feel like they are dependent on each other, and it hits you even harder when they get seperated. This is less a nusance and more of a welcome change of pace, however.
If I can name any true flaws this game has, it's mostly technical. There are some areas where the game's framerate drops, though it's not bad enough to impact the experience. I was also personally irked by the lack of fullscreen support.
Regardless, this is nice, short little gem of a game that truly deserved its golden IGMC crown. For those looking for an example of how to do an RPG Maker game right, or just want to play a short, yet sweet romp, then I highly recommend you give this game a shot.
The melodies of the game, the Spell Fusions, and just two playable characters make this game interesting. It is a simple RPG (Role Playing Game) to play and a lesson in making a game as well. Even if one does not know how to code, it is still a lesson in length. Many high reviews from this gamer, if that system exists for Steam, but that does not mean I was not being serious, I meant every word.
This game is a short RPG that had almost no flaws for me. There are two negative points which I want to point out (but don't be fooled, they're compensated by the positive points I mention right after)
- Theres not too much focus on the story and huge parts of it are gathered through notes (which you may find or not, depends on how much exploring you do)
BUT: The characters are very likeable, even though one of them can't speak. The relationship between the two main characters is heartwarming, which is pretty surprising regarding the fact that you spend such a short amount of time with them.
The atmosphere is phantastic and very mysterious - the music is largely responsible for that. The soundtrack is awesome and supports every mood presented in the game.
So yeah, if you are able to connect to the characters and atmosphere, you will have a great time and get more out of the story than you might think.
- Exploring the different parts of the dungeons can be tedious, although every path has its own design. But the riddles there are so easy that you really do nothing else than running and fighting.
BUT: The battle system is great. The characters have skills which can be combined to have different effects. And you really need those. I didn't think the game was too easy, in fact I had to prepare a tactic for most of the fights. I really enjoyed that.
I also think that the short playtime benefits the gameplay. Yeah, its a little disappointing to see the ending after 3-4 hours, but otherwise the dungeon exploring would've become too annoying.
So, is it worth it? I'd say yes, definitely. But you have to keep in mind that the game is short and may want to wait for a sale. I didn't regret buying this game at release at all. Really liked it.
