This game is nothing more than a quick cash in. The gameplay is unengaging. The cast is uninteresting and the world lacks character. There is promise here with the morality system and job combinations, but a lot more development time is needed to reach it. As it stands, this game isn't worth the price they are asking for it, or any price for that matter. It should be free. If you want something made with RPG Maker that is worth your time and money get To The Moon, Deadly Sin 2, Aveyond, or Skyborn.

Thanks for your clarifications. While I cannot offer an excuse for the use of the RTP, if you compare the assets in this game to the stock RTP you will notice that they are subtly different. No RTP resources were used out of the box as-is; many were tweaked, recoloured, resized in an effort to make them look somewhat different. I simply did not have the funds to commission my own assets -- now a non-issue thanks to Legionwood 2's profits.

As for not using the word "betrothed", chalk that down, again, to the Australian English. We simply don't use the word betrothed very much over here. It is much more common just to refer to one's partner as a lover. As such, the word simply didn't occur to me.

Again, thank you for your review -- many have said the characters are the strong point of this game (I'm a professional novelist and this is the area where I focused most of my attention), but the game certainly may not be to everyone's taste :)

My apologies. I didn't know that it was standard Australian English. I have edited my review and removed the comment about typos.

The two biggest problems with the game are that you used the default RTP, which doesn't allow the game to stand out visually, because it looks like every other game made with RPG Maker VX, or VX ACE. The second problem is the dialogue is weak. It's just not engaging and doesn't show me who these characters are. Why does Lionel keep referring to the woman he is going to marry as his lover? Why doesn't he refer to her as his betrothed? Show the player what kind of person the character is and where he, or she comes from through their diction. This is what I mean when I say the game world and characters lack character.

I'm not sure why it's showing me as having played for only 30 min, because I played for an hour. Regardless, I don't need to play a game for hours on end to determine if I think it's bad. I feel Legionwood 2 is bad.

Hi. I regret to hear you didn't enjoy the game. I can pretty much guarantee there are no grammatical errors though. The game has been edited according to the standard Australian English guidelines in the Wiley Style Manual. I had to do this as a requirement for Degica (publisher of RPG Maker) accepting the game for release on Steam in the first place :)

Also, with 0.5 hours on record, wouldn't it be a bit premature to say the characters are uninteresting and the world is lifeless? You're only 30 minutes into the game... you haven't even reached the end of the tutorial.
