Edolie Reviews

Haven't finished the game but it is a very good game so far. It reminds of Aveyonde games.

I bought this game in a sale for really cheap, but it totally worth the whole price without any discounts. The game has a really nice enjoyable theme and really nice art work. Love how happy this game is meanwhile also everything is turned upside down by evilness. The story itself is also really nice, there totally has been thought good about it and all makes sense in the end. Even though the game isn't that hard, the final boss really is hard. It takes a really long time. Because of that I didn't played it for a few little months and just now tried it again. Once you understand it, it will get easy but still takes a lot of time. So I realised I gave up way too soon. Regretting that now. The only down point I would give this game is about the little side missions you can do. I would go out and search for whatever I needed to find but when you realised you've gone way to far into the game, you cannot finish that quest anymore. Meanwhile it keeps staying in your journal. But anyways, a really good joyfull game for that price. :3

This game has pretty good graphics for an RPG Maker game and seems like a pretty good quality game, but there are several small problems with the game. For example, the game starts out in a small house and tells you to exit the house, but it is really difficult to figure out where the door is to exit the house.

After a rather slow start and a rather tedious hunt after a goat the story of Edolie finally picks up. What can i say about it? Well, it is good but it is not mind blowing by any means. The story is good with no real plot twists. The battle system is a rather standard side-view battle system without anything original added but it works. Most of the charm of this game come from the world, the world is very charming and full with cute and quirky characters. The characters... While well written I could not get attached to them. But they served their purpose. So, if you want to play some old style jrpg pick it up. But if you want something new then this is not for you.

This may not be the BEST RPGM game you'll play, but it's a fine gem for sure. The story and gameplay have the same vibes as the older games in the Aveyond series, and did a solid job of keeping me invested. Though I will say there was quite a bit of backtracking, especially in the final areas - and missing sidequests with no ability to go back was a bummer. All in all, for the price it's definitely worth it. A good fun 8-10 hours if you're not a completionist.

This game has everything I like: It's long, there are loads of side quests, there are Troll Trees to find which give funny advice. The fights are quite challenging and you have to think about strategy. Lots of interaction between the characters, and a couple of romances can be developed. The graphics are great and so is the music. The character portraits are really well done and you can get an artist to paint everyone on your team. The game is very complicated and I couldn't do it all the first time I played. But Rex9999 has done a marvellous Completionist Guide which helped me get there. Definitely worth playing.

TL;DR: Boring beyond belief. A point and click with all the disadvantages that a RPG coat of paint can add to the genre. Useless fights, and having to walk through each and every map with no logical sense as to what do to next, even with the help of the journal to list your current 2 or 3 objectives. After 3 hours of playing, my main character is level 6 and I'm still in the second town of the game because every single mini-quest requires you to walk across each screen of the town, back and forth endlessly, until you stumble upon the right NPC. There's no indication anywhere, and you can't even make mental notes because the quest items only appear after you've unlocked the related quest.

If you're a fan of any games made by Amaranth or John Wizard, definitely give this game a go. (Especially if it's on sale!) I've played all of the games by this creator and this one in particular is one of my favorites. Pros: +Replayability as it has multiple endings (they don't significantly add to the story, however). +Adequate length for it's price. +It's incredibly charming for an RPGmaker game, it doesn't have those chibi squashed character models which I personally hate. +It's a beautiful RPG in both story and pixelart. Granted, while it may not be original it doesn't use garrish colour schemes or ugly palettes. Cons: -Strategy guide is overpriced, and you can find the answers to your problems through the Eridani forums anyway. -You can't re-visit locations once you've moved on to finish sidequests. Ever. -One character is introduced far too late in the game to have any sort of development. Overall, I would buy this game again because I love these types of RPG's.

Really enjoyed this game. Bears a stiking similarity to other Eridani Games releases and the influence of the Aveyond Series from Amaranth Games can be felt. Characters are interesting and have definite personalities. Visually, it is a beautiful RPG Maker XP-style game with well-drawn art, and my personal favorite menu bar style (borrowed from the Aveyond Series) along the bottom of the screen. All that said, I do wish there were more chances to explore and slightly less linear gameplay. After a certain point, you cannot deviate from the path. Meaning that if you intended to complete some side quests before facing the final boss, you have not got this option unless you do so IMMEDIATELY. I am not sure if there are multiple endings, but the ending I got was generally a good ending, but not as satisfying as I'd like. I'd love to see the characters be a bit more developed by the end of the game, particularily the protagonist, as she seems to experience the least change in the game. Overall, the game is enjoyable. If you're like me, you'll appreciate the ability to fairly easily dodge the enemies, and the high focus on story. The one issue I really cannot get past in this game is the expensive healing items, coupled with the moderately overpowered enemies, and certain party members being near useless in the later chapters (you get 6 by the end). If you want a RPG Maker Fantasy game, really love Eridani Games' content or are looking for a game that's very story-oriented, this game is for you. If you're looking for a traditional RPG Adventure game, you may want to look elsewhere.

Edolie is an RPG with a well written script, interesting environments, and decent gameplay. The story is interesting and the underlying mystery is fun to unravel. The characters have depth and the script provides a great balance of humor and substance. There are a multitude of sidequests, however none of them wield much of any kind of reward. The battle system is marred by a lack of equipment, and battles seems to make up for being scarce by providing enemies with ridiculously high health and attack power. Still, it is doable. Overall I would say that Edolie is a great game for point and click adventure fans, but those hoping for a classic RPG should expect more story than action.
