Warriors of Vilvatikta

wow bad gaame

This game has good potential to introduce Indonesia culture. But imagine you want to cook something for your family, definitely your family will love your food because it's "house standard" and your family love you anyway. Now you need to sell your food to strangers, they will gave you honest reviews and the result that less people actually enjoy your food. I hope in the future the developer offer high quality products. Be more competitive, that's all, this game DESERVE A REMAKE.

I had purchased this game (yes, purchased, not got in some Key Collection) for 99 cents cause I thought "oooh, Indonesian, that seems pretty cool". This is a weird one.

The game opens with "Logo". Yes, "Logo". That's not the developer's name. That's not the publisher's name. That's definitely an oversight, since the game didn't immediately strike me as an ironic RPG. It also seems that the F12 key, my steam key for snapshots, is apparently a control to change the video settings from "Fullscreen" to "Windowed". Doing so not only does not work, but will cause your game to reboot. The options menu, ingame, is similarly nonfunctional. Anyway, if you use alt+enter to force a fullscreen or windowed mode, you will get 640x480 resolution which is not changeable, bummer.

The person doing the localization seriously had a thing for using triple exclamation points. I guess because they're awesome!!! And you should do it too!!! Sorry if I'm coming off as a jerk!!! I don't mean to!!! Dialogue is really goofy, but I can tolerate it since the culture is different and the person doing the translation might be ESL themselves.

Music is nice, as is the setting and premise.

The amount of random encounters while trekking out in the overworld is insane. It should ideally be once every 30 steps, not once every 3-7 steps. At least there's the classic option to escape.

I got all the way up to the part where the protagonist's father left for the city, and you have to follow him or he'll be "upset".

I must say I disappointed you, Father. For I saved the game and then went to bed.If it had more polish I'd probably play this to the end, or at least more than a third of an hour. Given how it's a 2016 game that feels straight outta 2006, I don't think have that assurance. As such, proceed with caution and tell me how it goes if you make it further than I did.

Review note: This is part of my campaign to "Play The Backlog". I play games for the time listed on my review, typically 30 minutes or less, and do not finish the content.

I fell asleep looking for fish food.

The game looks like it would be fun, if it was working. I currently cannot recommend this game, while the developer is advertising a new game in his comments, while things that have been broken for over a year remain broken in this one. Why would I be interested in another of your games, if this one is not working?

Worst ten cents I ever spent. This is coming from a guy who buys random shit all the time. Not even worth the four cent trading cards. The lense flare moved with you, the trees were spazing out and i kept bumping into things

Look... half of you came here for trading cards or due to a coupon... maybe not but that's why I ended up deciding to pick this up.


Don't. Just don't. Horrible game, click, click, click attempting to read... the title "splash" screen has the enticing, "LOGO" as the game started up.

I don't know if I'll even let it idle on my machine to get the last card drop lol. No.

3b: boring gameplay, broken achievements, bugs...

This game is an interesting RPG set in Java. It appears to take place during the fall of the Singhasari Empire and the rise of the Majapahit Empire, and is semi-legendary. Note this time period includes a revolt, an invasion by the Mongols, the death of the usurper, and a lot of backstabbing. (But then, would you really like to keep the Mongols around?)

I did acquire this game on a coupon, but I think it is worth it for the regular price. I mean, it isn't that bad considering some of the attempts out there...

This game had high hope, but yet, like most other RPG maker games, did not fall through. It's really disapointing, refunding my $0.25 I spent.

+ Unique Culture
+ Unique Characters and Sprits
+ Very nice music
+ Traslated well

- The begining of the game is very difficult with the turn based combat, faceing 3-5 foes at once at the start of the game.
- Chunky animations
- Ehh

Bought it for cards

i was updating my facebook status one day and saying "reccomend me a shitty games" and few of my friends actually reccomend me this game. and since the price is even cheaper than softdrink so yeah i decide to buy this and hoping will make me cringe since my friend says this is a shitty games.

After downloading and installing, turns out yeah indeed, it's kinda bad ones. mediocre graphics, mediocre writings of the dialoge , not very balanced character, some of the skills require MP but some don't like the mighty triple attack, and skill balance also kinda out of balance. and not mentioning the font, is that comic sans ? oh my god..

but on thing this game is right is the storyline, the plot and the flow. this game has a solid storylines, good flow for casual rpg player like me who don't like games too hard or puzzle that too hard that makes me stuck in the games like bunch of other rpg games especially others rpg maker games.

The Story turns out is very interesting and that's the only thing makes me continue to play and i starting to love this game and starting to like the character, especially Wirot in my case , this is proof for me BAD graphics with OK Gameplay and GOOD story can make a GOOD GAME, at least it's work for me

[ sorry for my bad english, not a native english speakers ]

One of the rare RPGs,
that is so generous with items drop after battles.
that may kill you on your first encounter leaving home, meeting three bats, casting blindness on you, and slowly bleed you out.
that doesn't makes you enter random npc's house and loot their chests and cupboards.
that offers you the always appearing Triple Attack skill without a mp cost, perhaps enjoy it while it last.
thats rather unpolished.

Many minor bugs on items, skills, party ...
inconsistency in balancing, some skills does pathetic damage, every team member possess all skills and magic regardless of class, invisible weapon loots,
wolves and above encounters damage more than gods, ...
If you played some other similar RPGs, you will find many of the same items/skills appearing.

Lead is always in fast pace walking, but
battle sequence is really quick in this game,
you could just ended a battle, take one or two steps, another begins.


Have the patience to grind up levels, before proceeding makes the journey easier.
Farm the green bats and get wealthy to purchase the top inventories becomes quite unbeatable.


Ending seems sudden and kinda rush.
Playable for a budget price.

Странно все карточки выбиты за 30 минут!!

OK I don't hate this game, but it needs some work. First and foremost you need to be able to rest in your own house. You need to fight your way up the mountain, get the ore, fight a boss, fight you way back down and over to the next town before you can use an inn. That is just dumb. The skills are a little odd as well, sometimes triple hit, hits once, twice, three time or eight times if you press Q five times while you use it. That by the way is the only way to survive the begining of the game because even the weakest enemies in the game can blind you, use fire magic or dodge every other attack.

[Edit:] The first patch mid September made a lot of things better. Still far from good, but the game at least is not the disaster, it was before. With some more work, it might become okay.


I thought, the setting is something, that makes this game stand out a little among the usual RPG-Maker games. It certainly does, and the graphics are mostly well made/chosen. Still, the downsides make me give this one a negative rating. For one, the translation is just horrible and destroys all of the atmosphere, this game tries to build up (especially the habit to end every sentence either with "..." or "!!!"). Second, the gameplay is a mess. There is no balancing to speak of, as a few moves outclass everything else (at least in the players favour), the world is unpleasantly linear ("I don't want to go there now!!!") and a good chunk of time, you'll just be searching for things, the game gives you no clue where to find.
If you want a pretty-looking, low price title, this one is for you. If you expect anything else, you'll get disappointed.

[Edit] Oh, and around halfway through, the game crashes at a bug.


[Edit Sept 2017:] It appears, the game has been abandonned in a way less than finished state.
Do not buy this game
Do not buy from this developer
Do not buy from this publisher

“How do you know Father, Uncle?”

Sorry I had to start the review with a quote from the game much like another review I saw. I picked up the game on sale for £0.47, so I’ll be writing the review with the price I paid in mind.

Conclusion

Disappointingly, just another badly edited RPG-maker game. I had such high hope for it.

+ Somewhat original setting
+ Custom sprite with less-usual style
+ Custom ethnic music, though interspersed with standard RPG maker music.
+ Cost less than chewing gum.

- Standard RPG maker gameplay without much twist

- So badly need an editor I want to cry. Seriously, discounting the obviously non-native english, author, dev, writer, I want to ask you something. Have you ever played any commercial, professional games, or read any commercial, professional fiction, that uses multiple exclamation marks (!!!) in every other sentence? Why is one exclamation mark is not enough? No, seriously why? It makes this game looks less like commercial, professionally-made game and more like some fanfiction script made by a 13 years old. Even if you ignore the awkward english, this, and the typos, are independent of someone's mastery of language.

And then the awkward writing...

I know that the writer is not native speaker, we should commend multilangual people. But someone who can speak a language doesn't mean they can write or translate. I know this, because I work in translation business (not actually as translator or editor though). Native speakers of multiple language is not always good at translating either language, and an english major graduate don't always mean they're good at translating english. That's why translator, editor, and writer, is a job.

Mind, I'm not saying the game has bad story. The good-ness of a story is independent of how well it's written. You can have a good story that's badly written. Especially since this is an RPG that heavily depend on the writing. Bad writing is easier to swept aside in an action game or puzzle game. Not in an RPG.

You see, the problem is, this is a commercial product. You're selling them. That's why it's held in different standard than something you make in your leisure for your friends. Imagine cooking. If you're cooking for you and your family, eventhough it's too salty, or charred, everyone will just laugh and enjoy it, and still thank you for it. But if you're selling your food to people, you're open to criticism. People are allowed to grumble or complain when your food is too salty or burned.

Summary: If you want this to feel like a professional work and not just hackjob, please find someone who can write in english and edit the script from ground up.

Or not, it's your life, I can't tell you what to do with your life. I'm just sad that a potentially good game like this is so held up with bad editing and writing.

"You must have been overslept!!!"

I got more than 59 cents worth of chuckles out of the dialog in the 12 minutes I've played it so far.

I think my father is playing a trick on me though, asking me to go find steel ore. Or maybe he wants me to steal some ore? Hmm...

It's a standard RPG Maker game with standard RPG Maker quality.
