Love the Retro art.. it's like i'm back of being child because of this game. <3. I am a big fan of RPG Maker games and owned about 100+ of these games in my library.I played Oswald's Adventure to completion and enjoyed it.It's a nice short game. The developer says its a 8-12 hours game but it took me 17+ hours and quite a bit of grinding to get all the achievements. I actually enjoyed the grinding too, so it was all in good funThe story is average but I love the recruiting mechanics. You cannot recruit for help unless you find the "business card" of the person you want to recruit. This prevent you from getting a strong team at the start of the game, and you will learn to treasure every single person that join you because you have to "sweat and toil" to get people to join your team.The developer of this game is also extremely helpful and responsive. I posted a problem that prevent a certain achievement from triggering and within minutes the developer responded and started working on a patch to fix problem. I was able to resolved the problem with the new patch that the developer release in a couple of hours. The developer is also constantly trying to improve the game. Today, for example, he release another 24 new achievements to bring the total achievements up to 70.I had a fun time with this game, and would be happy to recommend it.. Finally! Something decent in RPG-maker games! :)I love the game because I think it's got justttt the right balance ( \/ amount of playtime for the price, and grinding, and rather-simple storyline, etc). It also got a reasonable amount of achievements for the amount of playtime spent... and the story is not your typical RPG-maker "mushy" storyline.During my playtime and journey to 100% achievements, I also did not encounter any bugs... This is very important to me, as I get easily annoyed \/ irritated when I find bugs in the game that I have purchased.P.S. I'm also loving the newest Patch 1.3... Thanks Dev team for the awesome added battle backgrounds!Overall = I had fun & yes, I will recommend it, especially to those who like short RPG games \/ old-school type.. I wanted to like this one; it's cute, simple and straightforward with that old-school adventure focus... However, it's just EXTREMELY minimalistic on the world\/character\/skill\/equipment\/enemy design, very grind-heavy and ultimately just not very interesting. The dungeon design and music selection is decent, and it's got a good level of challenge, but unless you're looking for a bare bones rpg with less sophisticated combat and storytelling than final fantasy 1... I wouldn't recommend Oswald's Adventure.. Simple, yet composed!If you are into a straight-forward, old-skul, characters-recruiting RPG \/ Adventure game, then you'll like Oswald's Adventure!My Purchase Price = around 99 cents (with a 66% coupon).Total Achievements = 70 (including those extra rare ones).My Playtime (for a perfect 100% achievements) = roughly 9.8 hours.Therefore, YES, I will RECOMMEND Oswald's Adventure. Value-wise, you can't blame a cheap-a55 guy for wanting 70 more achievements under his belt for 99 cents right? :)This game is NOT for you, if:- You are expecting lots of custom assets.- You are expecting massive cinematic events.- You are expecting epicly-composed theme songs.Seriously, just be realistic in your expectations! If you are one of those dudes expecting AAA features from a 99 cents game (or a few bucks at most), I'll save you time and tell you to look elsewhere - this game is not for you. You should really stay off RPG-maker games, and instead look at Square Enix games (those Final Fantasy franchises for example).But if you are like me... Just a laid back dude looking for a bargain game (money-wise and total-achievements-wise), then sure, go for it mate. Cheers.. *touches a horse*got an achievement...NICE!!!. Recommended. This remind me of old 2D JPRG game I use to play long time ago. I play the game until complete, my 100% achievements, and I enjoyed entirety. My favorite music from the game is at Ancient Pyramid. Easiest part was the 1st Basement dungeon. Most challenging part was getting the special achievements of Level 99 Oswald and 99,999 money. So I want to suggest maybe to add bonus achievements to reward players who play get these extra achievements?? If can get Japanese texts \/ translation it's good and I can recommend the game to my other friends with not-so-good English? Thank you.. This game is really cute! :) So far, I really enjoy at playing it... It kinda remind me of old-school SNES rpg games (like Lufia or something), lol.I know the game-design is very simple, but, tbh, I find the simplicity and "change of pace" (I hope this is the correct term to describe it) quite refreshing... I know some ppl will disagree with me on this, but then again, this is just my personal opinion, okay :) The game being simple just make the atmosphere easy-going \/ not too heavy to process for me.I like how that the game give you pretty clear directions \/ hints of where to go next... Sometimes when I only have like small time to play, I could try finish 1 dungeon, or do some grinding, and then continue next day when I have more spare time. The game is not too easy though! There are still a few challenge here and there.Grinding might be much for some ppl, but it is ok for me (I find it more entertaining to grind for gold and exp in Oswald's Adventure, than "grind" for those achievements-spam games for example, if you know what I mean)... So I actually don't really mind this bit, as I think it is must expect from RPG games.However, maybe the story can improve a little... and add some more stuff in world map? And also, maybe add some more achievements (- that will be super-great for me! and for other achievement-hunters I guess :)Overall, yes, I will reccomend this game! Price of less than 3 euros \/ dollars (plus discounts, if you are lucky) is ok for me.And oh, one more thing, I like how the Dev team actually respond when you ask questions in forum. Developers are friendly \/ approachable, so, for me, this is also plus point. Thanks for reading (sorry if my English is not perfect, but I still hope you understand my writing).. Normally I only review a game once I've completed it but I just finished the third dungeon in this, and my opinion may change, but I'm well enough into this that I can fairly say: THIS GAME IS TERRIBLE! Not just for some little things but for a litany of them! Here's a list to know what you are getting into:1) This game is a GRIND, not just a small one either, you will be grinding for money pretty much from the start of the game to such an extreme, that it'll take you at least an hour before you reach the first boss AND beat it due to its stupidly high crit rate. Although I may have gotten a bad set of RNG the first few times I fought this boss since he got a crit on me virtually every round.2) All of the characters start at lv 1, this wouldn't be bad if they were balanced in a way so that way a lv 1 Remy (your second character) was as strong as a lv 9 Oswald (your first character). But this problem compounds itsself to the point by the time you get Zara (your fourth and final member) the rest of your team ARE IN THEIR THIRTIES! This is aggregiously bad design, meaning of course MORE GRINDING!3) Whenever a character joins you they start with the lowest tier of equipment they can possibly equip, and since this game has such a fetish for how expensive things are you need to grind MORE in order to purchase the gear to get them up to terms.4) NOTHING, and I do mean NOTHING in this game has custom assets, or uses anything more than the base assets. Nothing is unique in the playable characters, and the music is the same set you've probably heard 100 times by this point.5) The story is bare bones. Normally that's one of the main things you play an RPG for, but here its so minimalistic that its: Hey you are here and you need to go this place next! It's so repetitive and there's no changes in what you do though the game, no story bits, no character interactions, no nothing.6) Your two 'mages' learn abilities at such an abyssmally slow rate that they are pretty useless until you get them relatively high leveled. It doesn't help that even by lv 30 your healer DOES NOT KNOW A SINGLE GROUP HEAL SKILL! 7) Despite the fact that Oswald is classified as a 'warrior' he can equip anything in the game, including rods and staves, which makes no sense from a contextual standpoint. but I digress8) After every time you clear a dungeon the price for healing at the inn increases, HOWEVER, the inn on the world map run by the accessory shop owner DOES NOT. This becomes exceedingly silly after the third dungeon since the price jumps from 50 'gil' to 180 gil immediately. The prior jumps were reasonable, this one wasn't since the inn on the world map costs a flat 250 gil.9) If you couldn't tell from above, they are obviously trying to rip off Final Fantasy's monetary system. However this game is so bare bones its kind of an insult to the term 'gil' and I didn't think that was possible! 10) The difficulty spikes are ridiculous in this, since after you get your third party member enemies will no longer spawn in singles, meaning that often times you will face 2\/3 enemies that are a bit too tough to really spawn in such numbers. 11) (I can't believe I forgot about this one!) All the characters and enemy damage are done in a big text block. This is especially given this style innately frustrating and the ONLY time I've seen it done in an RPGmaker game. the standard is usually you have a big row at the bottom showing all your character portraits and when an enemy hits you, you see which enemy is both attacking (via flashing) and which character they are attacking (via a big white number over the character portrait) Likewise the opposite is also true and shows how much damage you do to enemies in a far simpler fashion. Here I often feel like I have no knowledge of how much damage I'm doing to enemies or enemies to me! 12) It wasn't coded that enemies could cause status effects from normal attacks. Instead EVERY STATUS MOVE IS CLASSIFIED AS 'MAGIC'. This is honestly very, very dumb when you have rats casting poison, and scorpions casting daze. I know this is not something hard to program since so many RPGmaker games do this.Needless to say this needs a vast amount of work before you put a price tag on it.
