“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.”
“Nice RPG game with a good story.”
“So.... the reasons I really like this game: I like the characters and story.”
“The plot is painfully generic and uninspired, but the developer puts probably less than a day or so effort into each of these asset flips.”
“Story has different characters which I'm not thrilled about, but there is a map in an RPG Maker game which is awesome and you get the magic orb at the beginning of the game.”

The monetization of the game is criticized as a blatant cash grab, with a low price point that does not reflect the poor quality and numerous defects of the product. Reviewers express frustration over the use of stock assets and the lack of genuine development, suggesting that it contributes to a negative perception of amateur developers on platforms like Steam.
“This kind of cash grab construction kit shovelware from bad actors like Andorlea gives amateur developers a bad name.”
“Fated Souls 2 has the completely unrealistic cash grab price of around $5 USD; it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.”
“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, it's shovelware polluting Steam for profit.”
