    Grimm's hollow has a special place in my heart, it's really fun though it's short, I don't mind (kinda played it again and again). The ost is a real banger mostly the battle music, and how I love the art style. It's also one of the game that hit me hard, smack me on my face, and punched me on my heart, emotionally with plenty of melancholy. The game that hit hard before OMORI did

    If you'd like another FANTASTIC RPG Maker game, though a slightly older one, I highly recommend The Last Dream. It's basically a love letter to Final Fantasy, complete with knock-off Chocobos. I love the music used, too. It's a really odd but somehow fitting mix of classical and indie punk stuff. I use the boss theme as my alarm on my phone, and the boat theme! It starts off so exploring and adventurous, but quickly becomes this guitar heavy power theme that's just amazing.

    Just finished it.... I really enjoyed the cute, charming art and somber story around such morbid themes, with the combat being really solid and the soundtrack great enough to listen to on its own. The only negatives being that it felt slightly buggy and had weird frame stutters. That aside, awesome game! My favorite moment was the buildup to the baker's "face" reveal (before I felt betrayed lol).

    When I played Grimm's Hollow, I unfortunately ran into a softlock in a battle, where the enemies buffed and healed themselves to an amount where I couldn't possibly win anymore
    I haven't touched it ever since, because I haven't saved long before, but I should probably go back at some point

    @Chivi-chivik 3 роки тому +18

    People pretty much sleep on the games made with RPG Maker, specially the western ones. I've found so many gems made with that engine that are pretty much unknown due to how unknown RPG Maker is by the general public. (Well, I also gotta admit most RPG Maker games are underwhelming or awfully boring. Only a few manage to be actually good).
    PS: Play "Aria's Story"

    • @Chivi-chivik
      @Chivi-chivik 3 роки тому +3

      ​@Mr VT Gonna add to what Charbomber said and recommend more:
      Dreaming Mary
      Aria's Story, Midnight Train (made by the same developer)
      Japanese classics and goodies include:
      Palette
      Ib
      The entire library of Mogeko/Deep sea Prisoner: The Grey Garden, Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea, Mogeko Castle
      -
      I really recommend going to rpgmaker.net and goof around. That's where I get most of my western RPG Maker games.

Aside form the baker being alive its as it should be. when you are dead you are dead. also this is the ONLY ending were the 2 siblings stay together

    This game is good, however I do want some things that could be changed if I could:
    Some enemy combinations are annoying as shit, they aren't hard, it just takes unfathomably long, way longer than it should be. Maybe I just need to "get good" but I just think that the battles should be shorter.
    I feel like there could have been more variants to different ghosts, some of them just have different colors and altered stats. Maybe some unique sprite and new attacks.
    These are just some pet peeves I have with the game, just keep in mind I have little to no experience with game dev. Otherwise, it's a pretty dope game.
