  • story
    49 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Fated Souls" is characterized by immersive storytelling and well-crafted plot twists that engage players, although pacing issues and a lack of guidance can detract from the experience. While some players appreciate the depth of character development and the evolving narrative, others find the storyline convoluted and the characters uninteresting, leading to mixed feelings about its overall impact. Despite its flaws, the game offers a lengthy and enjoyable story-driven experience for those willing to navigate its challenges.

    • “Fated Souls captivates players with its immersive storytelling, drawing them into a rich and compelling narrative world.”
    • “The game's well-crafted plot twists and character development keep players engaged from start to finish.”
    • “Overall, it's a very enjoyable story-driven RPG that was clearly made with love.”
    • “The story is not well written; I do not feel any sense of attachment to these characters, and the numerous amounts of typos do not help.”
    • “In conclusion, this is a very forgettable story that tries really hard but does not hook. The combat scales linearly with increasingly bullet-spongy enemies, but not much tactical depth, and there is usually only one item for every slot for each of your three characters at any given shop, so the upgrade paths are linear.”
    • “The way it is now, a few misspellings aside, I would love to read the story in book format for the same price as the full one of the game.”
  • music
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in "Fated Souls" has been criticized for its limited variety, leading to repetitiveness during extended play sessions. While some tracks are well-chosen and contribute positively to the game's atmosphere, many users feel the soundtrack lacks originality, often resembling typical RPG Maker compositions. Overall, the music is described as serviceable but not particularly memorable, with some tracks providing a pleasant backdrop while others detract from the experience.

    • “The soundtrack is RPG Maker stock material, but each tune was well chosen for each level, so they made good use of that material.”
    • “High marks go to the music in the game, which sometimes adds to the suspenseful atmosphere, and sometimes offers relief in the form of light and catchy tunes, but is never overpowering.”
    • “Fated Souls' soundtrack may lack variety, with a limited selection of music tracks that can become repetitive over extended play sessions.”
    • “A more diverse soundtrack could enhance the game's atmosphere and immersion.”
    • “The soundtrack is awful, and the graphics too. There is no setting options anywhere, so you have to stick with the graphics and the options given by the developers.”
  • graphics
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have been widely criticized, with many reviewers noting the crude pixel art typical of RPG Maker games and a lack of customization options. While some appreciate the artwork in battle scenes, the overall visual presentation is deemed poor and unengaging, contributing to a frustrating gaming experience. The absence of full HD support and the inability to tweak graphics settings further detracts from the game's appeal for modern gamers.

    • “Artwork is very good, particularly in the battle scenes.”
    • “Definitely another 'RPG Maker' piece of junk with tedious dialogues, crude pixel graphics, cut-and-paste character graphics, an annoying soundtrack that sounds like an out-of-work German oompah band, and a severely crippled and unbalanced combat system that leaves you with nothing but a group of dead adventurers killed in 2-4 rounds of fighting... this game got real old real fast!”
    • “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 soundtrack is awful, and the graphics too... yeah, it's RPG Maker... there are no setting options anywhere, so you have to stick with the graphics and the options given by the developers.”
  • gameplay
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for its low-quality, retro-style graphics and lack of originality, often feeling tedious and uneventful. While some players appreciate the nostalgic RPG elements, many find the experience boring and unengaging, leading to a general recommendation to avoid the game unless on a deep sale. Overall, the gameplay fails to deliver a compelling experience, with several users expressing dissatisfaction after only a short playtime.

    • “RPG gameplay with a difficult passionate appreciation!”
    • “+ smooth gameplay.”
    • “Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality copy-pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay.”
    • “So yeah, get on a very deep sale if you'd like to see and experience an artifact of a bygone age, or if you have the magical ability to power through the most boring gameplay for the sake of a good story (if so, my hat off to you for retaining what I've lost somewhere along the way), but otherwise steer clear of this title.”
    • “The game itself throughout the gameplay is rather uneventful; all you do is what everyone says and kill.”
  • grinding
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is heavily criticized, with players finding it tedious and unbalanced, leading to a frustrating experience filled with repetitive battles and excessive backtracking. While it may have been acceptable for its time, modern players feel it lacks engagement and excitement, making the grinding feel particularly burdensome. Overall, those not fond of RPGs or lengthy grinding sessions are advised to steer clear.

    • “I should feel like I can't wait to see the story, but all I see is the very lackluster combat and the tediousness along with the backtracking is just 'no, I can't take one more moment of this.'”
    • “But that isn't sufficient enough because most of it is grinding experience levels with the most officious monsters possible at given level.”
    • “If you are not a fan of RPGs (especially JRPGs) or long grinding hours, don't buy this game.”
  • atmosphere
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's atmosphere is praised for its attention to detail and engaging music, which enhances immersion and supports the narrative. However, some players feel that a more diverse soundtrack could further enrich the experience. The combination of interesting story elements, expansive dungeons, and well-crafted soundscapes contributes to a captivating RPG atmosphere.

    • “Not a bad RPG; there is trade, battles with bosses, quests, and I loved the huge dungeons filled with surprises. The developers have paid much attention to the atmosphere of the game, focusing on intricate details.”
    • “In this game, we find a rich atmosphere that is supported by wonderful music, enhancing the overall experience.”
    • “High marks go to the music in the game, which sometimes adds to the suspenseful atmosphere and offers relief in the form of light and catchy tunes, but is never overpowering.”
    • “A more diverse soundtrack could enhance the game's atmosphere and immersion.”
    • “Not a bad RPG; there is trade, battles with bosses, quests, and I loved the huge dungeons. The developers have paid much attention to the atmosphere of the game, focusing on such details.”
    • “High marks go to the music in the game, which sometimes adds to the suspenseful atmosphere and sometimes offers relief in the form of light and catchy tunes, but is never overpowering.”

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Character development gets high marks in this game; each of the main protagonists slowly reveal their true selves and their motivations as you get further into the tale.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game is criticized as a blatant cash grab, with users highlighting its low-quality assets and lack of genuine development effort, which contributes to a negative perception of amateur developers in the industry.

    • “It's horribly basic, riddled with grammatical and spelling errors, full of stock copy-pasted RPG Maker assets. No real game development has taken place here; this is just a cash grab, shovelware polluting Steam for profit.”
    • “This kind of cash grab construction kit shovelware from bad actors like Andorlea gives amateur developers a bad name.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is overshadowed by pacing issues, as players find the initial fast pace amusing but quickly become frustrated with the slow movement that follows, diminishing the overall enjoyment.
