Verfall is a turn-based, tactical rpg where you...homina homina homina

Actual in-game graphics:

It's really quite fascinating how you can recognize an RPG Maker game even if every single asset is custom.

Why does it still look more appealing than 90% of AAA games today?

You obviously never played an RPG Maker game, else you'd know how clunky that engine is.
The game doesn't play how it looks.

I strictly meant the look of the game. I like the graphics and aesthetics.

 

[JarlFrank]

Yeah, it's a solid third party asset pack. None of this was made by the dev btw. I've seen these exact same assets used in other RPG Maker games. They're very easy to implement, after all. Still gonna play clunky as hell, most likely.
The worthy RPG Maker games can be counted on one hand. Only Fear & Hunger and Corrosive Studios games come to mind.

If you like jRPGs there are some (though like with most things 90% of them are garbage), but games made to look like western cRPGs via RPG Maker always look like shovelware

Isn't Helen's Mysterious Castle rpgmaker? That's one of the best indepdenet JRPGs ever made.

Never heard about this one, but from the screenshots on Steam you can see some basic RPG maker assets, so yes

Tencent is doing something.

The game is a post-apocalyptic scif-i futuristic open world survival action RPG co-op multiplayer with crafting, robots and dinosaurs that will remind you a lot of the Horizon franchise and Once Human.

Pre-lawsuit footage. Nope. It's Tencent.

I looked at it, but there does not seem to be enough "rpg" to add this one.

I just wanted to share suffering that comes from watching that slop.

Was browsing upcoming RPGs on Steam and stumbled upon something that should appeal to many Codexers!

Chains of Freedom

Chains of Freedom

Looks interesting

 

[Grauken]

Another upcoming roguelike (I know, sad face) grid-based dungeon crawler with an interesting premise: You’re a janitor. It’s the 1980s, and you’ve been called in for a late-night shift at the headquarters of HR Inc. Mop the floors, Clean the windows, and stay away from floor 24, Simple job, right?

Art looks like there was a lot AI used, another con against it

Chains of Freedom

Looks cool, but I guess it's nuXcom mechanics going by the trailer.

Chains of Freedom

Are games like this just really easy to make or something? I feel like in the last year there's been a dozen forgettable 3d turn-based tactics games (nu-xcom-likes, to call a spade a spade) from no-name studios.

I think it's a system that's easy to understand and likely (not a programmer) relatively easy to program because of that fairly straightforward nature.

2 types of actions, move or shoot. Can't shoot before you move. A percentage chance to hit and an RNG (or flat) damage number on successful attack. Cover/half cover changing hit chance and possibly damage. Done with base mechanics.

Banned? Not that i'm necessarily doubting the information but more confused than anything, how do you even ban a game on steam when so many NSFW games are there, as well as the likes of 'hentai hitler' etc are still up? It seems to me it is more likely the devs just decided not to release it on steam at all and cancelled the release themselves.
