Proven: A Math RPG Reviews

It's like Dragon Quest but with math! Love the soundtrack too!

Very poor. Missing basic RPG elements such as a map or even a mini map. Cannot see the enemy HP at all and what's the point of giving a party member MP when they have zero spells? Cannot buy weapons or spells & none come with levelling. You can't expand the party past 2 and way too frequent random battles of the same enemies over and over. With only 1 attack type it's a procession with zero strategy other than to heal now & then. Almost no maths integration. The decent soundtrack is wasted on this game. I'm looking for a game to rival the ad-heavy Prodigy for kids 7-8yo but this is not it unfort. Go get Costume Quest instead - the battle system in that game is at least interesting.

A very enjoyable game for young and old; fun to play, very interesting and likeable characters. There is a nice retro style to the game. On top of all of this, it is a great way to improve math skills; especially for younger players.

I’ve been a gamer since the SNES first came out and I always loved RPGs. It’s funny how time moves by so quickly because now my kids are getting into gaming!! I’ve been looking for a game to help get them interested in the RPG genre (especially JRPGs), so I picked this game up on a whim because it looked like it could be a good fit for them. Boy, am I glad I took the chance because the whole family has been playing the game for hours! Thank goodness for many save slots lol)! PLUS I LOVE that the game is non-linear!!! There is a recommended order, but YOU can choose where you want to explore. I love the ice cave the most but my kids love the Castle the most :-) Overall, I highly recommend it. I just want to point out that the game is created in the style of a JRPG. In other words, it is a GAME that has a lot of math content but it is also very fun. P.S. Here are some tips to help you early in the game! The King’s house has treasure chests with gold in them! Also, when you exit town, be sure to check the sign on the overworld near the town entrance. There’s great info on where to get where you need to go.

I've been a math teacher for a little over 11 years and this is definitely one of the few games that kept my class engaged. I really like how the game builds on concepts that are learned. This makes it a lot less intimidating to learn a new math skill. The game also has a fun story with an important message about why knowledge and learning matter. The schoolhouse and computer lab in town are also very helpful too. The game contains many different locations to explore with many different ways to test math skills. The better you do, the more character you meet who offer to join your party. The levels are also well-designed and some even contain different paths leading to bonus items. Fun game and activities that consist of entering the door that has the correct answer to a math problem, true / false questions from people they meet along the way, and a treasure hunt that contains many helpful items they can use to defeat the guardian of a level. If my students are well-behaved and complete all their homework for the week, they are rewarded with gaming Fridays; a fun way to celebrate their hard work while still learning. I have a feeling that we'll be playing this again soon! For kids that love math or hate math, this is the game for them!
