Chaos Warrior

Pretty decent, a bit hard at the very end. Overall, an open love-letter and modern clone of early Dragon Warrior (1-4) and Final Fantasy games. Lots of subtle references. Overall solid, took around 12 hours for mastery.

It's a nice, fun little JRPG. Old school so if you don't like needing to grind a bit for gold and exp it might not be for you, but if you like older JRPGs - NES or SNES era - this one is definitely worth five dollars.

Doing my 99 grind then finished with it, excellent game. Would recommend trying it out if you enjoyed nes era jrpgs.

Don't know what's wrong with this game, but it sucked me in and didn't let go. Thank you for such a nostalgic pleasent journey with FF, DQ and PS vibe. I really enjoyed it and looking forward for new projects from you!

Solid, simple, retro JRPG with good quality of life features. You won't find anything very original here, but it's all done well. Definitely worth the asking price.

I did not play classic JRPGs like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest growing up, so I do not have a nostalgic tie to the games that Chaos Warrior is an homage to. All that preamble to say that I really enjoyed this game purely on its own merits, although I will caveat that I am friends with the developer and so that will naturally introduce a little bias into my opinion (although if I didn't like the game I would have just not reviewed it). Its key appeal is in its charm - a throwback to simpler RPGs, NPCs and a world with JUST ENOUGH personality to give you something to connect to, and gameplay that isn't super sweaty about meticulous balance. It's not particularly deep and you don't have a ton of control over building your party (level ups increase stats automatically, for example) but the game's length ensures it stays entertaining and concludes before it starts to get old. There's plenty to explore and lots of powerful items to find, and the main quest is very easy to follow so it escapes that clunky inaccessibility that classic games often present to new or returning players and maintains solid momentum throughout. I cleared just about all the content in the game, and my final save clocked in around 12 hours, which included some idle time in menus and the like, and I was fairly overleveled and very powerful by the time I beat the final boss. For $5 it's a really hard bargain to top, so even if it turns out to be, say a 7/10 game for you personally, I think it's worth kicking the tires and I think there will be very few people who are interested in this game that aren't won over by it.

Perfectly fine short little jrpg, inspired by my estimation from DQ2/FF1/Lufia 2 and probably others. Not unique in any way, functionally doesn't have a story, has a few interesting ideas mechanically but overall doesn't do quite enough with them. Like Lufia 2, 90% of the game is spent in dungeons, which to be clear are not at all as good as Lufia 2. That being said maybe cause it's a random indie game I bought for $5 and not a game that was hyped up to me for years as "contender for the best snes rpg" so I came out of this feeling pretty similar to Lufia 2: really liked the monster sprites, had some interesting ideas, but overall mostly fine but forgettable. It doesn't overstay it's welcome, it's cheap, it's fairly fun, and you'd be supporting (as far as I can tell) a dev's first commercial release so if it seems interesting you might as well check it out yourself.

Great stuff! Exactly what you expect (in the positive sense).

Great and very fun game. Thanks for making it guys! If you like dragon warrior and early final fantasy this is a game you really should buy
