Title: The Hero's Struggle (full game)
Post by: DeadHands on July 13, 2009, 10:32:51 PM

Hi!
This is my first game. Originally I had a game 8 years ago that was just testing things out and making goofy rpgs with friends. Btw I did my best to catch all the spelling and other bugs. Sorry if you encounter any.

This took me 10 months to finish.

*i took out my email so I don't get spammed*.

Email me with problems or praise or if you can't figure out
a spot.

The Basics:

Spoiler for:

Main controls are (z) or (space) for accept and (x) for
cancel or menu. Use the arrow pad to move.

The point behind the game is that you are a hero with your
band of vigilantes. As such, you cannot steal items in the
game so no need to search everything. You are however able
to read books, more will be said about this later.

-Battle-

Spoiler for:

Now be mindful that in this game the challenge can be quite
hard yet it is very possible to defeat bosses. If you wait
too long the monsters will still attack you. There is a
glitch that sometimes happens in RPGmaker2003 that if you
are selecting an ability and die, when you are resurrected
you have no initiative and do not rejoin the battle until
damaged. Unless you fight a boss and lose, you don't get a game
over screen because in random fights Damien wakes you up and
retreats.

Abilities often do status effects and that is a key component
of your battle tactics.

-Basic Tactics in battle-

Spoiler for:

Mindslayer:Use your abilities to effect the opponents minds
to your advantage in order to prevent damage or possible
confusion/trance where you have them attacking other enemies.
Also use the Psychic Barrage power to reduce resistance to
psychic attacks.

Darkspeed: Darkspeed's speed is his key ability. The ability
to effect time with speed and ultimately space. As well as
those abilities Darkspeed has a High attack and is your primary
fighter who's damage abilities are based off of strength.
Shadow clones reduces enemies resistance to ATK based abilities.

Burns: Much like a Mage in other RPG's. Weak attack, but powerful
abilities that do mass damage. His key ability being fire and the
ability to hit multiple targets doing massive damage.Both Pyros
abilities reduce resistance to Burn's Abilities.

Damien: Damien's Key ability is regeneration. In combat if Damien
Reaches 0 Hp he will automatically revive. Damien also can heal
your team plus has some useful physical based attacks.
Share Blood is a key ability that allows your party to reg and
become a little more resilient to status effects. As well,
Damien's Reckless Attack and Assault reduces enemies DEF.

-Items in Battle-

Spoiler for:

Some items like potions, Energy Water, etc are 1 use items.
Equipped Items sometimes have abilities on them and can be used
in combat. Each starting characters accessory is their Powers.
Mindslayers-Psi Booster - Int Up
Darkspeed- Ninja Shoes - Disappear
Burns- Fire kin - Fire Shield
Damien- Regen - Regen Ability

Weapons and Armor can have abilities as well.

-In Game Items-

Spoiler for:

Most items are found in treasure boxes.
Ones that are not are; Magic Mushrooms and
Special Herbs(side quest) ===>keep an eye out for them<===
Books also appear in the game and give hints or history or are
just Titles.

-The Game-

Spoiler for:

Characters with faces tend to have a role in the game in someway.
Bars: The bartender is a good source of info.
Books: Clues, history and humor.
The Sage: Info earlier in the game.
Intro:
You start of as Mindslayer, without memories, in a strange town
where you quickly learn of the rounding up of people with special
powers by the Sheriff of Chalader. There has to be someone who
can help you free them.Explore the town and then rescue the

A video

Spoiler for:

The spelling is now corrected

CimH7yGtVTc


I just want to add that it may not be the best in mapping but what I lack there I put into
actual gameplay.

Not many people here use RM2k/2k3.

I will add reasons

1 - Rm2k/3 is illegal
2 - RMXP/VX is not
3 - RMXP/VX is more flexible
4 - Rm2k/3 is old, very old.

(Idk about 4th reason)
