RPG Fighter League

Lazily made grinding game. Like most others from RPG Maker this one has an extremely limited world in which to play. Its mostly about grinding thru the same areas repeatedly and building up various special points so you can buy more goodies so you can grind more in the grinding area and repeat forever. Devs really didn't want to put in too much effort so they copies other games mechanics that force you to spend a lot of time in a small map performing mindless repetitive tasks for hours. It took me a little while to grasp this and I wanted to be sure but its sadly true. Theres almost no genuine content here. Cannot recommend unless you really love grinding. Theres also a ton of grammar and spelling errors all over the text but thats minor when you consider the game itself isnt worth much.

Helped the developer with the spell checking during the first few months of release on the store. The developer was quite active during this short period, and despite the language barrier, I was patient and made it work so we could get the game updated more frequently and fix some errors/bugs that may have been present during that time.

fun anda great experience

Great concept, fun turn based style, pretty decent amount of recruits, tons of secrets all over. It could use more leagues, but after 20 hours I still haven't beaten it, and don't plan to anytime soon, as the last league is pretty rough.
You can craft items, buy and sell items, you gain experience to level up and SP from battle that you use to give your guys passive stat bonuses. The heroes have a lot of skills they unlock as they level up and you usually play with a party of 4, but sometimes it's rarely 3, and the later stages allow a party of 5, which is nice. You can even get an armor piece that anyone can wear that doubles experience gain for the wearer. That is especially nice because only the recruits in your party gain experience from battle.

I think you can really get a lot of time out of this game, but there are some aspects to it that I wish were expanded on, if not downright fixed. There is a certain area where you can talk to a man who offers 3 more leagues, but when you click on them nothing happens. I don't know if I was even supposed to get to him, as you have to walk through a wall and around the edge of the arena. So, more leagues to play in would be nice, but I have no idea if the dev is done working on the game or not.

There are tons of grammatical errors... like, more than I've ever seen in a game. Also, there's a weird ranking system that goes off of the time it takes to win a battle, but it doesnt pause while you're selecting your moves. So it's basically impossible to get S ranks unless you're way overleveled for the area, which is kinda weird because you could just grind higher level areas if you're that much stronger. The only way to get an S is to hold down spacebar and have the right action selections (which is usually just attack, but recently i've gotten spells pre-selected to clear mid-leagues with S's) beforehand so you kill everything in 1 or 2 moves.

Overall it's cheap, I didn't expect to like it nearly as much as I do. It kind of makes you wanna find everything and craft that top tier gear, and beat that last league, which is a doozy. You can actually fight the last boss before you beat it I'm pretty sure... if it is even beatable. It might just go on forever. Definitely try this game out!

This game has a lot of bad grammar and a few things that aren't explained here and there, BUT
It has a lot of heart. It does not take itelf very seriously but it also isn't a tryhard game. It is quirky and weird with it's story and characters and it's kinda clichee but kinda not.
The game has a friendship system where you get skillbooks from you teammates when fighting together enough times and there are secrets everywhere. The combat system is a jrpg system where each character has their own action speed dependant on their agility and if you are familiar with that there is nothing really new here but everything that is there is quite good. If you play a lot of jrpgs then it is probably going to be an easy game as long as you use any form of tried and true tactic but it is not braindead even if you know exactly what you are doing.
I don't feel like the game wastes my time since everything moves on so fast but you can theoretically grind everything forever if you feel the need to do so but you never have to.

All in all I like this game for what it is and for what it isn't. I like fighting and party levelling in jrpgs, making tactical decisions about what gear to wear and wich party composition to use for what and maybe a bit of crafting (all of wich you get in this game) and i don't like overly drawn out stories and having a plethora of npcs in every town wich might or might not be worth talking to (all of wich you don't get in this game).

Probably never leaving early access, the last update was over a year and a half ago. That being said, for the price, it's more than worth it as is.

Edit: I stand corrected. updates have resumed after the long hiatus and I'm excited to see where this game goes. I'll be starting a new playthrough right now :)

Love the game, but wish they would finish it. i feel like its a dropped projext. still will recommend this if you want a couple hours of fun.

it a ok game.

Hmmm...

This review is hard for me now. This is the first and only review I've ever changed my opinion on. But this went from a hard negative, to neutral bordering on positive for me. It still isn't something I would highly recommend but the developer has listened to my advice and taken IMMENSE leaps and bounds to make this a more enjoyable game.

The ram titans now have a significantly higher chance to spawn, and most of them all drop some pretty good items. Plus they are by far the greatest way to grind experience in the game. Even if at later levels they are a bit of a joke.

The Architect league can finally be completed and the game can be beaten now! I haven't yet beaten the game yet since there are a few bugs in regards to the final sections of the game now.

The ability system has been rehauled to make everything that little bit stronger, the unfortunate thing is that this still makes Andrea your primary damage dealer for the latter half of the game.

However there are some things that are majorly bugged like the fanbot which gets stuck at one point and gives out incorrect rewards, and then no rewards after a point. Also the widow titan which due to the way the sheep league works seems to have a very low spawn rate.

If he continues to work out the bugs this will be a hidden gem in the rpg maker landscape.

It knows how to keep your interest for a fair while but there's a few (easy to fix) problems that are really holding it back for me personally. Although the concept is good and execution is alright, I also know it's still in early access but to make this worthwhile for any price a few things need to be addressed.

1. Grammar: The game's writing is less than impressive. The dialogue is okay but can be made a bit more memorable with more effort, and there are many, many errors in grammar in here, to the point I had a difficult time enjoying it at points.

2. Difficulty: I did very little grinding, yet I'm sweeping through the entire game so far with ease. The "boss" fights aren't climatic in the least bit and took no effort to complete, with the only boss fight so far that made it hard enough to seriously enjoy was the Big Bad Wolf. With the game being this easy and the enemies all being very similar (except a few) in how they fight, I'm pretty much spamming Pow Pow Punch the entire game and nothing else besides the occasional Cure. With a heightened difficulty, the pacing of the game would be better and the players would feel more inclined to use more strategy besides one or two moves to win. The game's mechanics are extremely solid and in-depth to the point that once enemies become harder that the game itself is ready to accomodate for it.

3. Arenas: No real big issue here, except I wish from early on that there was more than just a simple one medium sized room area to explore with a few things in them. That's not to say it wasn't being used right however, with ice puzzles, pressing switches within swarms of enemies, and overall plenty of secrets and little things to discover each time, especially when you revisit old arenas, but at times I wish there were extra rooms to go through for a little extra depth as well.

Overall, with some tweaks, a few new things and overall closer attention to what makes a good RPG, this could become one of the best RPG Maker games out there, which is extremely worth the $3 pricetag. Let's just hope these adjustments come soon.

It's...actually pretty darn good.

Imagine a JRPG with all of the same ole tired tropes stripped out to let you concentrate on character building, mix and matching party members, and killing tons and tons of monsters.

Has enough humor, secrets, loot, and characters to keep things interesting.

For an early access game I have to admit I've been impressed with the game so far and they glimpses of the future content have me excited for the day this game exits the early access stage. I've logged 15 hours on this game and I have yet to get bored with it.

So far, so good. Lots of secrets to be found, all sorts of rules for all sorts of leagues. Hidden gem? I think it just might be, after all it is still Early Access and already more fun then some Triple A titles.

👍

For a 3 USD game i am completely blown away at how much fun i am having with this game compared to the other games in my library that are 15 to 20 times more expensive especially since this game is still in early access. I really believe that the dev could charge quite a bit more for this game and it would be completely justified. You cannot find a better game for this price point at all.

Its a rpg that has a series of colosseum battles called leagues that get harder and more varied with mechanics as you go up in the ladder. You will collect experience points, money, crafting materials, items, weapons, armor, friendship points, skill points, and fans as you battle your way to the top. You will also find secrets hidden around every corner in this game and it will let you know exactly when you found one. If you like collecting things it does have quite a bit to offer on that aspect.

You can build your characters to be a melee fighter, magic user or a battle mage that does both melee and magic quite well. Some characters are better suited for one roll over the other and you can tell by looking at their stat allocation and skills when you get that character which role suites them the best. You use either BP for melee type skills or MP for magic based skills. Each time you land an action you will gain more BP up to the max of 100 BP. It will carry over to the next fight so that you can save and store up your BP for the bosses. Each character has a special skill that they can use for 100 BP and it fills pretty decently to where you don't feel that your character is too op and you don't feel that it doesn't come around enough. Its a pretty well balanced system i think.

The story isn't the strongest i have seen and it isn't the weakest i have read either. Its about par, but you can tell that the dev's 1st language is not english so expect some of the grammar to be just a little off. I don't find it that bothersome at all but it is noticeable so people who are pretty big sticklers you could have issues with that. Do i think that it would ruin your experience in the game, i don't think that it will but it might be bothersome to you

As a rpg maker game the graphics are actually done pretty nicely. The game looks pretty good as you play it. The animations are clean and crisp, the sprites have good detail to them, and the environments are pretty decent as well. Never once as i played did i look at the screen and think that what i was seeing was badly done or not good to look at. I think the art is definitely nicely done

I don't remember much about the music so it neither bothered me nor was it memorable enough to stand out. It fits well enough within the game. With a game like this though you could just find your best epic battle music and let that play instead while you decimate all the foes one after another as you battle in league after league.

Overall i just flat out enjoy this game and i am really looking forward to where this little gem goes. For 3 USD you cannot find a better rpg to waste away your free time. It already has quite a bit to do now and by the time it is done i foresee it having a lot of content that you could waste a lot of hours into. To me this is an easy buy if you like rpgs because the price point is just to hard to pass up for what you are getting now and for what will hopefully come in the future.

The dev is active in the forums as well and you can tell that they listen and take into consideration what you have to say. You can see the passion and the want to create a game that people will love and enjoy as much as they do in creating the game.

awesome game if you like 16 bit games. Developer very responsive.

18 months later no more updates, i feel abandoned.

2 years after the game is up, we get new content.

RPG Fighter League is an RPG Maker game with a very interesting twist. It is also a Fight Management Game where you recruit a team of fighters, and then go up the ranking in a series of tournament style fighting leagues. As you progress you also gather an increasing fan base, which then allows you to buy better gears and items.

There is also crafting in this game. Each fight drops crafting materials, which then allow you to craft useful stuffs. Another interesting aspect of this game is "secrets". There are many hidden details in this game that are not visible and you have to uncover them to gain "secrets". There will be rewards based on the number of secrets that you find.

Another interesting aspect of this game is the vendors (weapons, armor, items, accessories, etc). Many of the vendors are absent at the beginning of the game, and there are interesting quests that are needed to find them and bring them back to the fighting guild.

There are about 10+ different fighting leagues in the game, and most of them have unique features as well. Some fighting leagues require you to activate switches, some are in ice-covered terrain where you slide along the surface, etc. It is these interesting features that make the different fights enjoyable and unique.

The best part of this game is that the developer is extremely helpful, and that the game is still in Early Access. The developer is open to feedback and constantly put out patches to fix problems and improve on the game experience. He is still adding enhancement to the game and will doing so, based on consumers suggestions and requests.

I highly recommend this game and feel that it is definitely worth the low price. It will give you many hours of enjoyment.

Really enjoyed the game. Hope to see it completed soon.

I am of two minds on this game:

The combat seemed pretty cool with a lot of depth already at only 90 minutes in.

The story was kinda dumb though, but not in a way that was obtrusive.

unfortunately every fight is timed, and I had serious lag. This isn't the first time I've been unable to play an RPGMaker game because of performance issues, which is really troubling given the way they look.

I think I still reccomend the game, but if you have the same performance issues I did, then I think they'll be dealbreakers
