Ancients Rhapsody
A downloadable adventure
"Listen and you will hear the song of those who came before..."
Hi everyone!! Thanks for checking out my page!
This is the game page for my project: "Ancients Rhapsody." It is early in development and I plan on using entirely different art assets as I go, but I wanted to release an early prototype demo for people to play! Heavily inspired by games like Trials in the Sky and Final Fantasy, I wanted to create a character driven story that people can have fun and interact with, so please do! Any constructive feedback is welcome as well!
STORY:
Set in a time of peace in the land of Pheranos, the young mercenary named Ayla spends her days scrounging up whatever jobs will pay for her room and board that night. That is until one job to rescue a lost child puts her right in the crosshairs of the Volarion Empire as they scour the land for mysterious ancient beings laying dormant across the continent. Could these Elementals be a blessing brought upon the planet and its peoples? Or will they be tools used for chaos and destruction...
These are the beginning notes to the melody of those long forgotten...
GAMEPLAY:
- About 1 hour worth of gameplay! An intro chapter to the larger planned game!
- Charge Turn Battles! See the turn order right on the screen!
- Use skills and items to affect Agility and turn the tide of battle!
- Level up your characters like the RPGs of old with new abilities!

I have to say, your game is fresh!
The presentation overall is great, as all graphics and sound match up. They are beautiful and carefully selected. And the menus and system UI in general are varied and very useful.The Title Screen is already my all time favorite from the RPG Maker games I've played and I'ved played them for a decade by now.
You also know how to place quests and side quests, with clever NPC interactions. It kinda inspires me.
I'm curious to know more about the Ancients too, the most interesting thing about the Lore so far.
Now, the thing that I liked the MOST is the Battle System. You've made the White Mage of the group be useless for combat except for the Holy spell, which forces the player to use him to casts magic only. But with that comes the skill to gain +5 of MP each end of turn, which balances things. When I had an idea for a Battle Sytem, I thought about things that are simillar, but I consider your ideas for it better overall.
And your game made my mind to buy MZ. It's undoubtedly the best RPG Maker of all time. It runs so smoothly even MV can't compare.
Thank you so much for your support and kind words!! I will work hard on the final product and hope you enjoy it as well!
