RPG Maker MV Reviews

Really nice software to quickly make nice RPG games without a very steep learning curve! Loved it!

It's all polishing a turd, no matter if you buy two or three times the price of the base engine in plugins, it's still polishing a turd.

I mean, MV is pretty fun but making a serious game with it takes a lot of work. I hate how people instantly hate on it but don't understand how much work goes into a game. Of course, by itself MV isn't perfect which is why you need Plugins.

Haven't been able to open it up since I have installed it. I have a lot of these rpg makers and this one along with MZ have failed to open up for a while now. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and trying different methods to no avail. VXAce still works but I am waiting for it to randomly stop like these.

Good for beginners in game design, who want to learn the fundamentals. Can be surprisingly robust if you really dig into its capabilities instead of relying on stock assets and features.

I love this software. A bit of a learning curve, yeah, but this really helped me understand how RPGs and other types of games like these work, which lead to me enjoying the 2D-era Final Fantasy games a helluva lot more. A simple HUD, PLENTY of tutorials, HUGE community, lots of DLCs, but most importantly, it's fun and easy to use once you finally know what you're doing. I would say that this software is worth $80, if you have the patience to learn this, which could take up to six months to a year.

Didn't work properly for me. I was trying to learn how to use the software in the tutorial, it was going ok, albeit not such a new user friendly interface, but after a few tutorial sections completed , I ran into a bug and couldn't get past it. So, the rest of the program was probably still usable, I just lost faith in the whole thing after I couldn't complete the tutorial as I mentioned before.

Highly recommended. This is an amazing tool for those new to game development or those with limited time. It has a ton of resources and features built in so making a quick game is a breeze. If you are looking to create something more unique, then the ability to use or create plugins is a game changer. The flexibility of the engine allows developers the freedom to create their vision. Also, there is a huge community with tons of free guides, plugins, graphics and other resources. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it on sale.

Easy to use, modifiable, all it takes is your dedication to make something. If you want to make pixel art, I recommend you use GIMP.

What you think it will be: -30% Level/enemy design -30% Coding -30% Playtesting -10% Looking for bugs What it actually is: -80% looking for plugins and reading documentation -10% frantically asking Reddit how to do the thing -10% what you thought it would be (Amazing software, 10/10)
