Chronicles of a Dark Lord: Episode 1 Tides of Fate Complete

Having finally completed it (the Final boss is nearly impossible), I can say this is actually a better than average RPG (even more so considdering it's price), At first I was pretty "meh" about it but about 5 hours in, the story really pick's up and builds to a climax rivaling that of old JRPG'S ala Final Fantasy's. (leaning more toward's 3,or 5) The Music for this game is actually also really good (you will have...

I am playing this game now and am finding it pretty fun. The pacing is a little weird. You kinda go from boss to boss pretty quickly, and just have to level up right before you face them. This is my first RPG Maker game and its really not bad. Good dlalogue overall, cool bosses, and I actually like the characters you get to play as. Worth a try for less than a buck, for sure.

Enter a world of shadowy intrigue where stained pasts collide with the present in an explosive confrontation that will define one young man’s dark destiny, as he attempts to thwart the machinations of an evil beyond all imagining… WHAT WE THINK: Chronicles of a Dark Lord’s first chapter is a solid and engaging JRPG themed creation, though there are some questionable design choices.

An RPGMaker game, with many of the rough edges that implies. The creator clearly had big dreams, stuffing a lot of worldbuilding into the intro cutscenes and the prologue and then the post-prologue exposition dump. (And in the process, rushing past what might have been some interesting parts of the story to actually play.) Nothing here is actively bad, but the combination of “not good enough” factors dooms it: The...

I thoroughly enjoy the story. It's not sugar coated like most RPG's , and just has a general feel of something different then the ole final fantasies, in a good way. the music is actually really good, and I enjoy how you have to stay leveled up to stay ahead of the curve, or else get slaughtered.

Wow. I had a lot of fun with this game. You'll be fighting lots of bosses and there are extra stuff after the ending. I recommend it because of the plot, it's well written, I even learned some vocabulary. The grinding to level up may bother you, also at the begging of the game the small patterns of enemies bothered me, I did not really notice after that. I do not consider Magus evil, he is pretty cool, I like...
