Baptism of Fire Reviews

Nice enough game, but very short - I finished in 3.7 hours!

Know what really tees me off? It's a game that is highly playable until you get to the last boss & it/they overpower you with no problem.

Extremely Good game. Don't know how long it is yet I will update it when I finish it. Story and Character development is very well done. Dialogues are well made, character portraits are of very high quality. Definitely grab it if you want some nice turn-based RPG to spend time. Pros -> High Quality characters -> True RPG as game has King / Knights / Paladin / Adventurers etc. So basically feels like JRPG Anime scene. Hope Developer continue to implement this in future RPG. -> Monster fights give experience and gold like you deserve not 5 or 10 gold like some games which don't care about your time. Example: Hard encounters nets you like 600+ xp and around 400+ gold, in a zone where best weapon at the point in game is around 1100 in nearest town. -> No unnecessary hassle about talking to pots, trees, boxes as items are found where they are supposed to be in "Chest". -> One secret room I found with chest was easily found in Forgotten cave. Cons: -> Fixed Visible Encounters. (No grinding as once monsters die they stay dead, if it changes in future I will update) -> Magic so far is very weak. If you had expectation to Nuke encounter with 1 shot its not possible here. -> Main Character skills are somewhat weak. 50 tp for defense down/attack down/etc. Would be great if that was 25 instead of 50 as gaining tp is somewhat slow. Overall, Definitely give it a try if you are looking for good RPG. I just bought this on a whim but now I am happy that I purchased. Fights are similar to "A tale of common man RPG" but plot is better maybe because I am into Kings, Knights and stuff like that.

A very basic RPG, offering nothing new in the RPG world; this is essentially the bare minimum an RPG can offer. But I loved it! It delivered exactly what I expected when purchasing it. While it lacks the essence of the very first RPG games this developer used to create, it's still enjoyable. I completely understand why they stopped making giant RPGs like before. I would suggest improving the boss battles, adding more strategic elements to defeat them. The only boss that posed a challenge was the final one, providing the only enjoyable battle in the entire game - and the only one where I died. However, the strategy essentially boiled down to (spoiler) avoiding one initial spell, making it beatable. The story was exceedingly generic, perhaps the most generic it could possibly be. The villain lacked motivation; he's simply a guy who wants to destroy the world because he believes it's a bad place. But we don't really feel that this world is bad; in fact, it's portrayed as better than the real world. If the villain had slowly descended into madness due to tragic events or some malevolent force, or if the world truly was portrayed as grim, it would make more sense. Unfortunately, nothing supports the villain's motivations. Moreover, I disliked the unnecessarily long walking times in the game. Some paths wind like a snake for no apparent reason, simply empty spaces until you reach the goal, and then you must backtrack. I also found city exploration lacking; there are too many useless locations. Previous games from this developer offered better exploration rewards. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the dungeons. Despite being a small game, they provided ample pleasure in exploration; they make up a significant portion, around 70%, of the game's appeal.. The accessories you find throughout the game are also quite interesting.

a lot of skills using tp instead of mp so it's hard to fight more than 2 enemies and it was easy to lost lot of your life while the loot is not having much potion or magic water
