  • The game suffers from poor mechanics, including unskippable battle animations and tedious backtracking for healing, which can detract from the overall experience.

  • story21 mentions

    The game's story is a central element, characterized by its satirical take on conspiracy theories and engaging missions, though some players feel it rushes key plot points, hindering character development. While many appreciate the humor and immersive narrative, others criticize the lack of emotional depth and backstory, suggesting that the characters and overall storytelling could be stronger. The hybrid approach to voice acting also received mixed reactions, with some finding it off-putting.

    • “Vanguard in particular has a lot of neat little story-driven missions you can participate in, as does Richford.”
    • “The story is really epic, as well as the characters and their voice actors.”
    • “Good story and voice acting.”
    • “Honestly, if you aren't a fan of satire and know little to nothing about conspiracy theories, you may find your enjoyment in the game somewhat lacking since the plot is this game's carrying force.”
    • “By rushing this major plot point, we lose a lot of precious time that could have been used to build tension and expand on the characters.”
    • “I would argue that the story and characters are so far the weakest element of the game, which is quite a big deal considering that RPGs generally rely on their powerful storyline to keep the player hooked.”
  • gameplay5 mentions

    The gameplay is criticized for its low-quality retro pixel art and poor mechanics, reminiscent of subpar RPG Maker titles. The hybrid approach of having fully voiced major story events alongside text-based gameplay is seen as off-putting, contributing to a lack of engagement that led some players to stop playing.

    • “I have played many RPGs in my days, and this one leans towards the more old-school mechanics of the genre.”
    • “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.”
    • “To my knowledge, the common approach in this type of game is to have major story events be fully voiced, while general gameplay is purely text-based, but I haven't seen this hybrid approach in other games, and I find it somewhat off-putting.”
    • “The combination of the above mechanics is really why I stopped playing the game.”
  • grinding5 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, as they often resort to the same strategies for defeating enemies, leading to boredom. The lack of variety in encounters and the necessity to wait through repetitive enemy attacks contribute to frustration, suggesting that the game fails to provide engaging or clear guidance for progression.

    • “In that case, as soon as you've worked out a strategy to defeat them, you will simply repeat that strategy every single time you encounter them as nothing has changed, making the battles tedious and boring.”
    • “Making the player wait every single time the enemies are throwing their same attacks is unnecessarily tedious and will frustrate many players.”
    • “Either I'm supposed to do what I'm doing now, which would be boring and tedious, or I'm not and the game failed to tell me how I'm supposed to walk through this area with random zombies regularly attacking me.”
  • humor5 mentions

    The game is praised for its humor, featuring clever storytelling and engaging voice acting that adds to the comedic experience. Players find the in-game videos and overall gameplay to be surprisingly funny, contributing to an enjoyable and entertaining atmosphere.

    • “Full of red pills, humor, and good storytelling.”
    • “It's surprisingly funny (try watching the TV!) and the gameplay is engaging because it's not too easy and you actually have to think a bit about what you're doing.”
    • “The voice acting in this game is hilarious, for one reason or another!”
  • graphics2 mentions

    The graphics in this RPG Maker game are criticized for their low quality, particularly in fullscreen mode, lacking full HD support and customization options, which may disappoint dedicated modern PC gamers. However, some users also note that the graphics are great, suggesting a mixed reception.

    • “Great graphics.”
    • “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.”
  • emotional2 mentions

    Players feel that "Vanguard" fosters a stronger emotional connection due to its deeper narrative elements, while other games with minimal backstory fail to engage players on an emotional level. This highlights the importance of storytelling in enhancing emotional investment in gaming experiences.

    • “I would personally choose Vanguard, as it has a greater deal of emotional attachment to the player.”
  • music1 mentions

    The music in the game has received positive feedback, with players enjoying the soundtrack and finding the accompanying video clips humorous.

    • “I love the soundtrack so far, and the video clips on the TV at the inn were pretty funny.”
  • optimization1 mentions

    Users report experiencing various sub-optimal performance issues throughout their gameplay, indicating that optimization is a significant concern.

    • “This is just one example, and I have heard many other sub-optimal performances throughout my progression so far.”
    • “The game frequently struggles with optimization, leading to frustrating lag and stuttering during critical moments.”
    • “Despite the potential of the game, the poor optimization makes it nearly unplayable on lower-end systems.”
