Space Pilgrim Academy: Reunion

Like all the others from this author's series, it's a lovely game that I really enjoyed. Character development has always been that developer's forte and this episode shines. It's 2023 now, and I still come back to check the discussion forum from this developer hoping for another installment to this series. This is how much I love the game and the entire series.

The Space Pilgrim series as a whole are all a great fun. I took a 5 year break between the first 6 games and the last 2 and I remembered all the amazing characters immediately upon seeing them. Looks like they are leaving it for more adventures of Gail and Maggie in the future, but if not, this is a wonderful ending to a great series.

É o último jogo da saga Space Pilgrim, é um jogo feito com RPG Maker que continua contando a história após o sétimo episódio. O jogo não possui batalhas (possui somente alguns puzzles) e se baseia somente em contar uma história. O jogo se resume em andar, coletar itens, conversar e fazer quests usando os itens coletados. É um jogo muito simples mas muito bem feito e com diálogos bem legais. É um jogo para quem gosta de narrativa e não quer muita ação. O único problema na minha opinião é que ele é muito curto. Possui conquistas e é bem barato. Nota 5/10. Recomendo!

RPG Maker strikes again! Space Pilgrim Academy: Reunion is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. As often happens with this RPG Maker asset flipper/"developer", the stock fantasy RPG Maker assets have been eschewed in preference for the stock sci-fi RPG Maker assets, but the cringeworthy high school anime club dropout fan fiction remains. The developer has polluted Steam a whopping 19 times with these valueless construction kit asset flips. 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 point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development. 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. RPG Maker is an absolutely terrible construction kit, and never results in games of any reasonable quality or value to gamers. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 15 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. Space Pilgrim Academy: Reunion is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. Gamers who want a good retro JRPG experience would be better off playing the originals, like Final Fantasy, Star Ocean or Chrono Trigger.

Nice game, enjoyable series. Simple yet fun adventure.

Enjoyable puzzle game that is a plus because you don't have to shoot or battle things constantly. The dev has an imagination to come up with the storyline. I did not have any bugs or glitches at all, a very big buying point these days.
