Lamia's Plan Reviews

Not a bad game. I sat at the game with interest.

RPG Maker strikes again! Lamia's Plan is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. This is particularly badly made even for an RPG Maker asset flip. The developer, questioning why RPG Maker games are universally reviled as crap, decided the way to fix the problem was to make this RPG Maker asset flip look awful, with a blue/monochrome pallete swap for all the crappy flipped RPG Maker stock assets. And they threw in some of their own "baby's first Wacom tablet" drawings/scratchings. We can tell these are hand made because they look even more crap than the RPG maker assets. The story? They developers flipped through to a random page in an old D&D Monster Manual and landed on "Lamia". It's just garbage, really. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development. Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality copy + pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay. RPG Maker is an absolutely terrible construction kit, and never results in games of any reasonable quality or value to gamers. Gamers who want a good retro JRPG experience would be better off playing the originals, like Final Fantasy, Star Ocean or Chrono Trigger. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players, and the worst part is these weren't genuine players, these were the Russian fake review accounts that the developer paid to make the fake reviews. Since the fake reviews are all done, now the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.

They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this blatant, unethical review manipulation. This is done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product. Lamia's Plan is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend.

I am a fan of RPG games After playing this game, I regained the feelings I had lost many years ago, it reminded me of what "Role-playing games" should be and what they should strive for.

The game is very good, I really liked the gameplay. The graphics are at the same level as the music. Despite the fact that I'm not a fan of RPG games. The game is surely worth the money. Good luck to everyone

anime aesthetic and pixel rpg is the best combo ive ever seen. the game's world is unique and quite distinctive. music is on another level. i enjoyed playing this game and it was unforgettable experience. alas, i got some bugs during the gameplay and that's why i give 9/10. regardless, i recommend Lamia's Play and i would replay it someday.

Cool game worth its money, cool gameplay very pleased with the easy control if you have a little money - buy it, I recommend it)) delayed for 2 hours from the first launch the author knows what he is doing, let him please us with games in the future)) + rap

Pretty short and nothing special, but for the asking price it delivers. I like it when RPGM games do something interesting, even if that something is only a change in color and lighting.
