Familia Reviews

Proudly made with RPG Maker MV, this game boldly states in the credits. It is true, and it is proud! It is also good. An excellent little throw back project that will make you remember jrpgs of old!

This game has an awesome old school retro Final Fantasy feel to it. Its has a nice flow and is easy to pick and play right after you download it. The developer is very active and streams the building and fixing of anything anyone finds wrong in the game. The developer does live streams where he debugs the game and shows off the mechanics. He is very open to ideas and suggestions that fit into the narrative he has laid forth.

I've spent an embarrassing amount of hours on jrpgs in my life, and Familia is such a fun throwback for me!! The gameplay draws you in and the dialogue and characters keeps you invested. Would like to try and watch the developer stream at some point too.

A short RPGMaker game. It is sometimes hard to see characters, because they are very small. Be warned if you want to play a story rich game....this is just the 1st Act...and seeing that the release on Steam was nearly 2 1/2 ago with no sign of the 2nd Act...like I said it is a very short game...and it wont get better because you can play a game+ after finishing it....also sadly you can only save at special points or outside of dungeons....but that's not a very big problem for an 2 hour game.

This game has been an amazing journey to witness. I have spent a lot of time watching the very transparent game making process by the developer, Joseph Abraham. He has a dev stream on Twitch that has been very active, showing the thoughts behind choices made in the development, fixing of bugs, and fine tuning encounters and graphics. The game is a callback to FF games of old, and I've had a great time sharing the genre, pixelart, and game development with my kids through this project. Kudos to Joseph and all that he represents, looking forward to what he does next and continues to do with Familia.

This game is good so far. I am still looking for the flower that the Grandma wants. The battle system is nice. Looking forward to playing it some more.

A great game, easy to get in to, but has a lot of depth and skills to master. Extremely well done retro game, with pleasing visuals and sound design. I've enjoyed the story so far as well, there was a lot of thought and effort put into this game. Definitely recommend it to anyone who's looking to scratch a retro game itch or is looking for a great game world to get in to!

If you are looking for a modern RPG game with a great retro throwback feel to it, then this is the game for you. With active development from the creator for the current Act I while also working on Act II this is a game that is going to have a lot of reply value. It even has a harder progression when you clear the first Act. Act II looks like it was delayed, but I think that's a positive as it means more development time for it but it also allows current & new players to fully continue to explore & complete achievements they are working towards before new content drops. As with all games, there are minor bugs here & there that you may come across & the creator is active on socials, so feedback like that is very important as it allows him to try to replicate these issues & work on solutions. The music of the game is quite relaxing & the story is engaging while also emotional at the same time. Trust me, you will catch feels playing this. The game seems very simple now but new systems are coming & I can't wait for it because it means I'll get to start over in a new save file & see what I remember & how everything feels come Act II. This game is worth your time if you are a fan of retro JRPG games.

This game really brought back a lot of nostalgia for me from the days when I used to play Ultima Online in the 90s. I really enjoyed cruising around and finding things in the town, the cave was also really fun, the story is unique with likable characters, and the fighting is well balanced. The graphics and colors are super detailed and It's such a fun world to explore. Still playing so looking forward to exploring more. I really like this developer and stoked to see what else he will create.

I've had a couple of runs through this game now and in whole I've had a lot of fun. There's a couple things that I'd like to see more of in future episodes, and I'm fairly certain that the dev intends to explore those in detail in later episodes, which I'm definitely looking forward. The music is good, the assets are good, the maps are fairly refined, it's a good game and I've had fun with it :)
