I have dismissed this as an MMO, but it seems like offline mode has some merit?

And that's... suspiciously cheap, when the Chinese only version (published by the developer) is $10. More suspicious because of this international version's publisher SakuraGame (nothing to do with Winged Cloud of Sakura something visual novels). This Chinese publisher is well-known for releasing literal porn games (with porn part to added via patch) on Steam and notorious for their shady business practices (undermine developers' values by cheap prices, alleged machine translation, trying to publish a game while they're still negotiating with the developer, etc.)

Looks pretty cool, actually. I looked at the price and assumed it was an hour long game or something. I wonder how much playtime there is to this?

Fantasy Raiders, a Korean RPG emphasizes on exploration, dynamic world, and dynamic gameplay:

You can be an awesome explorer in fantasy world!
What you need to do is to return from uncharted fantasy world with treasures! Finders Keepers!
Let's collect treasures, build your reputation and decorated your own collections.
However, everyone wants treasures. That's why they're called treasure, aren't they?

In Fantasy Raiders, you'll fight against or cooperate with various factions which seek for treasures, collect precious treasures and become a famous explorer in the end:
* Explore the uncharted places and discover the secrets of each regions!
* Collect treasures, get rewards and decorate your own treasure house!
* Overcome difficulties using various skills such as sneak, spells and traps!
* Understand and take advantage of each race's preferences and characteristics!

* Dynamic Fantasy World:
The world is NOT static; it will be kept changing by your actions and decisions. Even though you discovered one region, the situation in the region will be changed anytime soon, so there'll be no end to your journey.

Everybody wants treasures:
Most characters in Fantasy Raiders prefer treasures than killing you. If you have something they wants, then they will be interested in you suddenly. Be careful! The interests could be dangerous to you.

Various interactions:
You're NOT a warrior who seeks for blood, but an explorer who wants treasure. Hack and slash are optional, and you have many other choices: you can steal, freeze, burn, sneak, flee, cheat and make mischief. Be aware: there is not ally before treasures.

Factions:
In Fantasy Raiders, you have no eternal allies and no perpetual enemies. You need to persuade, cooperate or betray the factions which hold each regions to find clues and acquire treasures. They remember what you've done to them and help you or make you paid your betrayals. By taking advantage of their friendship or hostility, you can track and approach to the treasures more easily.

I checked their website, and heh, is this their mission statement?: http://welcome.maverickgames.co

With all this additional memory, the question is: will the game designers and programmers work on enhancing, broadening, and refining the personal, non-combat elements to create a complete CRPG, or will they follow the same old path of hack-and-slash, glossed over with prettier graphics and nicer sound effects?...

...The true future of the CRPG is not the fighter, bloody sword in hand, killing his millionth orc, but the boundless imagination of the human mind, creating worlds of subtle wonder to explore and experience in more satisfying ways than mere bloodletting and money-grabbing. I hope it comes to pass.

But to be honest, apart from mobile-ish interface, it doesn't *look* interesting to explore.

This looks... interesting? Code: Lunch 13, a Chinese dystopian RPG made with RPG Maker:

This is out and very cheap.

why do these games moon runes look different than normal runes???

 

[LESS T_T]

Because the moon is not small as it seems.

the region lock seems to have been lifted.

Bro, I’ve already beaten it.

 

[Lyre Mors]

Really hope this means they are gearing up for an English release soon. Love the setting and style of this game.

Bro, I’ve already beaten it.

How did you find the gameplay? I know it's got a heavy JRPG influence, but does it present any decent challenge along the way?

 

[Abu Antar]

Jinn For this type of game, it offered a decent challenge. I died 10+ times. I had to rethink my setup and upgrade gear and abilities. The game’s not a walk in the park, but as a jrpg style game, you’ll breeze through some fights. If you don’t like random encounters, then it doesn’t have those. This means that you can’t really grind either.

Love Esquire, a dating sim/RPG from Philippine:

Spoiler

Love Esquire is a romantic-comedy dating simulator, with a nostalgic touch of old-school RPG combat.

In this game, you're not a famous knight, but a good-for-nothing squire who's on a quest to find man's greatest pleasure. Getting the girl won't be easy though, since most of them are waaay out of your league!

To make things worse: you have a few months left before this huge war happens, and the only thing you know is how to milk cows. Good luck cramming years worth of training into four months! If it's any consolation, you get a medal if you die. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No one believes that a lowly squire can save the world while banging – err, bagging – the girl of his dreams... but with a shitton of dumb luck, well... you might just prove them wrong!

Welcome to the world of Love Esquire, and may the fertility god have mercy on your virginity.

Nameable Hero – Whose name will these girls cry out during those scenes? You decide!

5 Dateable Waifus – More than just pretty faces, the ladies of Love Esquire have their own unique personalities, story arcs, and backstories!

Turn-based combat with a twist – We’ve added our own flavor to classic RPG combat! Time your actions right, and see your squire support his knight to victory!

Day-To-Day Management – The life of a squire is a busy one! Allocate time between training stats and battling foes, all while searching for the girl of your dreams.

Relationship & Stat Raising – Our girls have standards, so do some digging first! Be sure you shape up to be their ideal man.

Multiple Endings – What’s waiting for your squire at the end of the journey? Make decisions that will end up great or turn out to be otherwise.

Partially Voiced – So you can hear your waifus partially express their partially undying love for you!

Ecchi & Mature content – this game contains subjects and themes your parents warned you about as a kid.

Moddable Content – the game will support simple modding on release. To be discussed in a future update.

Original Soundtrack – we want you to experience the feels while playing this game, and our soundtrack will see to that!

Not usual to see games about Indian mythology.

 

[CryptRat]

Now that's interesting, I took notes while reading the Mahabharata because I have the idea of making a game based of it somewhere in my head. In the game here you directly play as Arjuna, Bhima, ..., what I have in mind is rather playing your own party and then they would only join you for a while the same way Tasslehoff Burrfoot or whatever Dragonlance protagonist accompany you in the Krynn games.

 

[getter77]

Interesting indeed---Asura finally has some entirely different company. Hope to see more drawing from this wellspring still---could definitely go for something lavish and over the top like the classic Ramayana animated movie that was chock full of intrigue and world building.

 

[Indranys]

Indeed, it will be a massive, prestigious Aryan incline.
But come on men, who want to be on the Pandawas side anyway?
Duryodhana and all of the Kurawa bros did nothing wrong men, it will be fun to join their warband for the Kurusetra.
Maybe my mind fails me, but I think that the Indian version of Pandawas and Kurawas are rather black and white affairs yes?
But at least in the Javanese version, especially before teh modern family friendly version, the Pandawas were no less fuck up and batshit insane compared to the Kurawas.
Plus they were a bunch of cucks and hypocrites.
Nasty creatures indeed.
Though Pandawas' descendants in Javanese version such as Abhimanyu, Antasena etc are cool bois indeed.

 

[Lyre Mors]

A nice steam friend bought this for me and says it's really good. I thought it was just a tit game, but apparently it has substance. Thought I'd pass on the message that it's only $2 right now.

I personally know one of the Product Manager there in Agate (the dev). Might not be for this particular project but I am sure he could pass the questions around.

So if you guys happen to have some question ask away and Ill pass it to my friend.
